£40,000,000/week eh? Well, if simple arithmatic be applied, thats... £2080, 000,000/year, add to that the costs of keeping our MEPs in the manner to which they have become accostomed. If we were shocked by the sums of their expenses, it seems small beer to the cost of belonging the the EU.
Apart from the fishing industry, which has been hacked to death by EU rulings,ou also have to add to all this the costs to British industry and can only stand back and look in horror as many British idustries have been seen to dissappear for countless reasons or have been bought up by foriegn companies.
Again, look at the loading open door immigration policies have placed upon the nation with soaring costs to the NHS, thats scary.
The rulings from Brussels have in most parts not been seen to truly benefit this Nation
I can't help but get the feeling we should be 'outta there' as £2 bn quid would go a hell of a long way to help re-build our idustries and benefit our nation in a way the Eu seemingly fails to do.
Not an expert of course and I expect some more well informed than I will shout me down and prove me wrong, but I think I sound like the fairly average man on the street in this regard.
Only 35% of the population turned out to vote recently, what does that tell you about the Brits, a tad apathetic perhaps?
I think pathetic would be a better and more apt way of describing it and if we don't get off our backsides and vote, we deserve everything we get.
As a nation we can't moan if we just sit back and say "I didn't vote, there was no point"! That was a remark I heard loads of times after the elections and it appears , from the figures, the majority of brits couldn't care less... they just like moaning!
