No, the rebates don't count. It's £350million per week we give to the EU that we are going to give to the NHS.

Well they tried looking for this £350 million but no one can find it. Perhaps it fell down behind the couch.

Quite right too. A leaving country shouldn't be running the organisation it is leaving.

Of course. Everyone agrees with that. Apart from OwlHoot

In a lot more countries...

Maybe so, but I think now the decision to leave has been made, we shouldn't be trying to guide the EU.
