So, we give £350,000,000 a week to the EU. What does it
spend it on? Oh, don't we get £300,000,000 a week back for our regions – two of
which look as if they want to break off from the UK. The third, anyway, wants independence.
Which leaves merry England divided into two
with many Big Towns wanting to Remain. Still, if Scotland and Northern Ireland
leave, we won't have to pay for them.
30% roughly of the EU's spending goes on farmer's subsidies.
Farmers are important. They produce our food.
It's not an easy life. The subsidy guarantees them an acceptable life
style. No, it doesn't make them rich.
Just comfortable. The immediate question for many after the referendum was
"Will we still get our subsidy after Brexit?" So, the British
tax-payer is to pay that, then? That's okay. We won't have to pay the
£350,000,000 a week anymore. Except if Northern Ireland and Scotland don't go
they'll still want the £300,000,000 – Wales' bit- a week. And Wales will want her
share anyway.
Never mind, that leaves approximately £20,000,000 a week.
Okay, let's give that to the NHS and use it to get people off the streets. We
can do without the EU- funded projects. Who cares about the Metrolink in
Manchester? We don't really need the €10.9bn awarded to us for 2014 – 2020, do
we? Guess we'll have to pay some of that back. And won't it be nice not to
contribute anymore to less economically developed states? We're the fifth
richest nation – let's keep it that way. We might make it to fourth. Oops,
maybe not. We've just been downgraded. No doubt we Remoaners are accused of blaming
it on Brexit. Yes, I know. It's unbelievable that nurses are using food banks, that
young people can't get on the property ladder and that the wages for those working
in the public sector are frozen – where exactly is the money in the UK? We must
be giving it all to the EU.
Then of course there is the exit bill. How many weeks of
£350,000,000 will that take? It was
already a lot before they went quiet and started hiding the figures.
But what would I know? I only got a B in GCSE maths.
