Remember, on the BBC:
1. If it's bad, it's #BecauseBrexit
2. If it's good it's #DespiteBrexit

Do you think they should have been in receipt of EU funds whilst they were "informing" the public during the referendum?

Of course you do.

You using Guido as a numerical reference point, dave? Now i really am worried.


CBI has 200,000 paying subscribers - doing your's and Guido's maths that means they pay a whopping £3.20 each annually.

You are both spreading misinformation. Desperate times?


FAQs for the CBI


Why do you receive money from the European Commission then?

"The CBI conducts a number of monthly and quarterly economic surveys of businesses, on manufacturing, retail, and service sectors, which are an important bellwether of UK business and economic trends.

These surveys are used by the European Commission to enable it to collect robust European-wide economic data, as it does from all the 28 EU member states. As part of this, the CBI takes part in a competitive tendering process (every 4 years) to provide data on the UK economy on a regular basis, and as a result the European Commission currently contributes to some of the financing of these economic surveys.

This amounts to around £148,000 per year, representing around 0.6% of our annual income. It is a measure of the reliability of our data that we are able to do this, and any money received in this way is ring-fenced for this purpose."

What about Deloitte who constructed the 'leaked memo' feeding anti Brexit propaganda to the Times? How many millions have they trousered from the EU? The pro EU Times happy to publish EU propaganda as fact which the BBC follow up on with glee. More examples of corporate cronyism.

You have not answered my previous questions on why you are so enthralled with the CBI of late, when historically you have appeared to oppose them, and their members, on many matters?

Now Richard Branson's Virgin Group is bankrolling a campaign to reverse Brexit. Again, big business trying to undo democracy for its own gain!

Do youthink UKIP should have (in breach of rules)) misspent £400k of EU funds "informing" the public during the referendum?

IF proven wrong – you are assuming this is the case – then yes, they should pay the money owed (£150k is what's demanded).

The government misused tax payers money to spread their own prejudices about the EU vote as well via those opinion piece booklets that went to every door they could find.

I look forward to the support for that money being returned as well.

I'm not saying they won't be found guilty but...

The story in your link says... "If the conclusions of the external audit are confirmed next week..."

"Ukip could be forced to pay back more than €170,000 (£146,185)"

Anyway, nice move of the goal posts to get away from the fact that big business colludes with the corporate racket that is the EU.

I believe The European Parliament Bureau then confirmed the auditors' findings last week

So you now admit to trolling. Good work.


Around the time you were trumpeting how austerity and cutting vital services was the only way forward. You can't argue against that . Now it's becoming clear that austerity was a facile project that's just put the country up s*** creek further. Your excuse that balls in charge would mean a worse deficit is a) unanswerable nonsense - how do you know that would happen? You are using something that hasn't actually happened to justify something that has happened and is s*** but you don't want to admit it.
b)Nonsense because I was referring to debt being over 90% of gdp not reduction of deficit. What do you think of debt rising to 90%of gdp?

EVERY single one of your posts is designed to get a reaction, including the one above. so join the Troll Club!

You are not blessed with advanced mathematical skills and have spent your adult life teaching infants finger painting and plasticine skills.

Whereas I obtained good grades in my A Levels for Pure Maths and Applied Maths, spending my adult life in financial services and obtained the equivalent of a degree by study and experience.

Yet here you are lecturing me on economics with the knowledge you've gleaned from BBC and your numpty union chums.

-.-'

This is true. But now we'll have big business colluding with the corporate racket that is the current lot in power...

You are Gusset, constantly wrong..... but you bandy your opinions about on here as if you are some political guru.

You are less than a numpty.

This difference is the lobbying done by big business is much more transparent in the UK vs in secret in Brussels. PLUS, we can vote the current lot out if we don't like them.
