Good news for Brexit

What's wrong with that? The UK provides funding to the regions. It's not an additional cost.

What will be interesting is finding out how sensibly the EU funding was actually spent. Was it spent on things worthwhile and that improved local lives, created jobs, skills and growth? Or is it going on vanity projects and "Street Art"?

Well put it this way, if Brexiters had done some research before casting their vote, then they would know what the EU funds in these parts of the UK

Brexiters don't do research, they deal in sound bites and fake news.

He said he didn't like the European parliament or the flag, which is not the same as saying he didn't like the EU.

or else he wouldn't have said "I don't want to deal with this sh*t" and resigned.

What does he like then?

The single market I bet.

So let's get access - pay a sub for it - and get the fook on with this charade!

Something like three years worth of our old EU bill, or less than five factoring in the rebate (thanks Maggie). Doesn't sounds a bad deal to me.

so long as we get a third of EU assets we contributed to and the funding that we currently have until we part.

The reality is they want us to pay so the other two contributors don't have to put their hand in their pocket by the UK funding the extra.

The funding is already being cut, that will continue.

Apart from wine lakes the EU doesn't have much in the way of assets.

Experts say they have no legal basis for this Divorce settlement.


As the EU is richer than the UK and its a divorce surely we should get maintenance??

EU = the bunny boiling ex.
