Why would he cave? And who to? He wants us to stay in Europe, despite what he says, and so do his "opponents" in Brussels. He will pretend to fight it while all along making sure we don't leave the EU.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/e...

The thing is IF these were always the T&Cs and we genuinely have increased from 1995 to 2014 while Germany has decreased then we have to pay.
The annoyance clearly is this is more than the child benefit which was cut for earning more than £50/60k so in essence we are now no better off.
The only solution is that EU budget is decreased from its 1995 position to 2014 position.
Also for the Scottish this is now a further £170 million they need to find given the £5illion additional gap found yesterday this makes for even more challenging stuff for them to deal with

Also Wales will need to find £80million of cuts - what will they cut?
I'm not sure on the split for N Ireland
Also we actually seem to be improving in our standings against France and Germany who are higher in GDP earnings than UK how does that sit? Does it mean more voting powers in the EU ?
End of the day this is a boost for UKIP and also the referendum vote.

Do we have any data on how much the UK benefits from being in the EU ?
I was about to ask that; I'm not really up on the exact ins and outs of being part of the EU, however we seem to put a massive amount of money into it, do we ultimately see that money and more back, in trade, or is there more to the whole thing?HTP99 said:

Our council used EU money to employ Bodgeit and Sons to re do the street in our town. Took an inordinate amount of time and they cannot even get a road level. They seem to come back a lot to do repairs. So yeah, it does come back but incompetent "committees" (council) get to spend it and tell the locals it is not out taxes that are being spent, sorry, wasted. It must go to tender for the cheapest bidder.scorp said:

Is that the one and only criteria a company is picked? Seems a bit daft.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
