Some more facts:
https://fullfact.org/europe/our-eu-m...ee-55-million/

Net contribution 9 billion pounds - from a total annual budget in 2018 of 800 billion pounds - that's 1,125%.

Now tell me in all honesty: If the UK government wanted to rebuilt your infrastructure to benefit your own ecenomy - do those "missing" 1,125% make that impossible?


Seriously: At what point will you, Paul and all the other brexiteers admit that you have been duped by a bunch of assclowns and a red bus?


And I am not even starting on how the net contributions of the wealthy (yes, wealthy) countries like Germany, UK, France etc built the economy in the poor countries like previously Spain, Portugal etc and nowadays Poland, Czech Rep., Slovakia etc so that also UK companies can export into those markets (and thankfully to the EU with much less bureaucratic hassle).

How deranged do you have to be to give up on all this for a meager 1% of your annual budget?

Why will you not accept that Brits and probably most of Europe want to rule themselves and not by some centralist bureaucracy?
