@David_Cameron: I'm angry at the sudden presentation of a €2bn bill to the UK by the EU. It's an appalling way to behave and I won't be paying it on Dec 1st
Won't be paying it full stop!

There is no way he can pay this. Germany and France get money back!

The reason he 'can't' pay it is because the economic 'recovery' is just a lie based on smoke and mirrors anyway.That won't stop him paying it by adding it to our borrowing requirement and making more cuts at home to keep his federalist cronies happy.

World Population is 7.15Bn
UK population is 64m

I would rather we made stuff that sold to the 7Bn and we reaped the huge rewards that this would bring, we could import all we wanted then and still be in a trading surplus, just like China but without the communism.
You've missed the bit that most of that 7Bn can't afford to buy what we've got to sell.At least until we've given them the money to buy it with first.While most of those who can afford it can only do so because they didn't follow your ideas.IE Germany not China.While even at best your idea just turns us into a slave state working for everyone else in the world.
you having a laugh?

of the ~430m EU nationals, how many can afford *anything*?

now look at the est of the world, China - yes, there are many poor people, BUT there are a st load of rich ones too, ask Jaguar-Landrover, Bentley, etc.

then look the other way, the US, they buy nothing?

then we get to the APAC countries, they never buy anything either?

so, do you want to trade with 7Bn people or 430m?

The problem with being weasely with your words, is when we all know what the outcome will be, and exactly what you really mean...

"It is an unacceptable way for this organisation to work - to suddenly present a bill like this for such a vast sum of money with so little time to pay it," he said.

i.e. we will pay it but just give us another week or so.

so, just to put some background to this, the order is:

  • Lib/Lab/Con's all agreed the budget formula
  • UK ONS provided the figures
  • EU apply the formula
  • Lib/Lab/Con's all fain surprise!
seriously, you could not make this st up

I'm just wondering what the headlines would be if we would've be liable to receive a rebate or whatever it's called and France and Germany refused to pay? Tbh it doesn't bother me as 2bn is probably nothing compared to what we spend on the wars we've been fighting for no reason. Didn't Cameron go and shout at other countries who didn't pay enough to stop Ebola?

Nope but at least we aren't France. They just had Hollande on bbc news gloating about his €1bn rebate for running his country in to the ground.

Really? So the GDP isn't rising? Unemployment isn't falling? Interest dates aren't at an historic low?

Let's hear your version of where we are then......

Won't be paying on Dec 1. Bet he folds like a cheap suit and pays on the second. Just in time for Christmas bonuses in the EU offices no doubt.

Cameron will negotiate a small reduction in the bill and then claim that he has won a rebate.

I thought it was clear enough.Firstly we're in a trade deficit situation with Germany which we take on debt to pay for.Cameron pretends the debt is less than it actually is to show that we're 'recovering' to get himself elected.The EU says great then you can afford to pay the Germans even more for the privilege.
Are you suggesting the national debt is caused by a trade deficit?

Adding the 'on Dec 1st' is clever. Means he will just pay sometime afterwards.
