Yeh and Chopin was Polish. Or something. Died of consumption. Let that be a lesson to anyone thinking of living in France.

£2 Billion is an awful lot of money. Just think we could build 20 millenium domes for that.
Then the makers of Wonderbra could make a giant Union Jack bra out of two air ballons and we could have a new Olypmic Logo to greet the athletes as they flew in to London.
London would then of course be the greatest Titty on the Earth.

Originally posted by DundeegeorgeI heard on the radio yesterday that in fact the UK has always paid more than France, even including the rebate.
On the other hand, we shouldn't complain really, because that's what the (originally Common Market) budget was designed to do - give lots of money to France.
Originally it was supposed to take that money from Germany, but the UK just happens to fall on the wrong side of the rules, i.e. small efficient agriculture and lots of international trade, so in the basic non-rebate system it gets whacked for French peasants too.
Of course the French translation of that is that the UK has a small agricultural sector that doesn't need budget money; and the UK will insist on trading outside the EU so it must expect to pay for that.
The more private French translation is, if you insist on buying lamb from New Zealand instead of from French farmers, the French farmers still need paid, so you're still going to pay them. Tant pis!

But there's something you're missing Rebecca
The bottom line is that few people are convinced that the EU is useful to anyone, let alone the UK.
Do you have the figures for who pays what?
I heard on the radio yesterday (so it must be true!!!!) that in fact the UK has always paid more than France, even including the rebate. If this is the case, then the French have got a ******* cheek whining about how much we pay. (That would of course be typically French behaviour, the arrogant, smelly, cheese-scoffing little tulips, we should have let Hitler cleanse Europe before taking up arms against him!)

Dodgy,
Your email betrays a lack of knowledge of Polish affairs
First, there is a history of friendship between the Poles and the French, with lots of Polish immigrants in France - not a recent wave like in the UK, but one that dates before WW2. So it is not hugely surprising they side together despite France closing its frontiers to Poles (much like the rest of Europe apart from the UK)
2nd, why is everyone in the UK hung up about this rebate? I know the British press has always tried to connect it with the huge farm subsidies that the Frogs receive, but in fact it's not - people pay into a budget and then what's done with this budget is voted and approved by the commission. Oh and also don't forget Britain receives lots of farm subsidies too, something the UK press - oddly - never mentions.
That rebate was a very clever piece of work by Mrs Thatcher, but is not really fair - no other country receives a rebate -not even those Frogs.
The whole thing is dodgy anyway, and works a bit like GB's tax credits: pay first, and then get some of your money back later. Uh? Great bit of bureaucracy but it doesn't really make sense, why don't you pay less to start with?
