Since when has an EU "statement" ever meant anything?

Obviously does to a lot of people otherwise this thread would never have been started and caused the comments it has: http://forums.contractoruk.com/gener...ml#post2010875

A curveball here.

Off the back of UKIP's recent poster that is exploiting the young Rotherham girls. This is the results of an EU vote to toughen up on "Sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children and child pornography" Guess who didn't turn up? Most of UKIP's MEP's, including Nigel Farage. Only 3 kipper MEP's turned up and they abstained! Could any kippers care to explain this one: VoteWatch Europe: European Parliament, Council of the EU

Just in case no-one saw it:



BTW, the UKIP candidate on the poster, Jack Clarkson was an inspector in the South Yorkshire police - this is the same force that ignored claims of abuse by these children and their families

It was a UKIP led council that was responsible for rotherham social services? Since when has an EU "statement" ever meant anything?

Is that per head of adult population, per registered voter or per actual voter?

You weren't supposed to spot the basic problem with this. That was per person of any age. Per voter would be more. The amount payable also increases with the number of UKIP votes.

Some brainy programmer or maths nerd can probably come up with an equation. I doubt its linear.

The UK government knew back in May when they signed the budget arrangement at the European Council meeting that the GNI figures were getting revised upwards therefore increasing the UK's payments. The budget arrangements were agreed to 'without discussion' by all parties including the UK.

You have a problem don't you? It might help if you could read and actually understand what was written but possibly that's what happens when the Daily Mail is a person's only source of reading material...Leaves grow on trees so they come from trees...

The Money i.e. banknotes do not grow on trees which is the point of the saying,some of its constituent parts may grow on trees which was the point you were trying to make however the original statement is still true however you try to fudge it.

I took this point and turned it around to highlight the commonly held fantasy of Europhiles that is is a democratically created organisation using your logic on the money tree It was obviously too subtle.

Leaves also grow on bushes & plants still doesn't make them legal tender.

I think it works out at something like £30 per head so it could be charged at the ballot box when voting for parties other than UKIP.

How would leaving the EU now mean a prior debt isn't still collectable?

Do you take everything literally?

[darmstadt]

MONEY doesn't grow on trees , some of the materials to make money may well come from trees.

A bit like an EU superstate was not voted for by the electorate, but the common market that allowed it to become a reality was voted on by the electorate who were sold a false prospectus.

I can see why you get confused all the time.

Possibly not coins but banknotes: A banknote (often known as a bill, paper money, or simply a note), are made of paper of which could come from wood: Paper is a thin material produced by pressing together moist fibers, typically cellulose pulp derived from wood, rags or grasses, and drying them into flexible sheets. Now admittedly quite a few banknotes today are made of polymer and I believe that the UK has moved to them now and as we know a polymer is a plastic and plastics tend to be made from pertochemicals which in turn tend to be created from fossil fuels which were not only creatures but also trees, plants, etc. So some of that money in your pocket probably did grow on trees...so kippers are (possibly) intelligent enough to understand that money does not grow on trees but are they clever enough?

(Actually they believe it comes from ex-Tories)

Would that be because kippers can't afford 30 quid?

I think that all those who fawningly support the EU should pay the tax out of their own pockets
