According to the Office of National Statistics the EU billed the UK for Ł19.6 billion in 2015 or almost Ł376 million each week. The revelation comes after repeated claims by the Remain campaign and its supporters that Vote Leave's battlebus gross figure of Ł350 million a week going to the EU was "a lie". VOTING OUT - Brexit will allow Britain to embrace the Commonwealth and be GREAT again

In simple terms, if you give me Ł20 and I give you a tenner, you then have Ł10. So, to say you have Ł20 is not accurate. Vive le Roy!

No, in simple terms UK paid more than Ł350m a week all along, which again is what I was saying all along. VOTING OUT - Brexit will allow Britain to embrace the Commonwealth and be GREAT again

And the EU paid us back Ł165million a week from that which is what you are not saying all along. Nor have you mentioned the lower cost of goods because of our membership.

I don't understand the argument. Logically, in terms of "EU Club" membership fees, it's still Ł211m per week difference in the EU's favour as well as a significant UK trade deficit in their favour. Not sure where "cheaper goods" are readily available to the UK public after the significant mark up by our middle men. However, I do agree some goods can be cheaper if you purchase them on the continent and bring them in. Denial is not just a river in Egypt!

Which makes the EU an absolute bargain as it includes single market full membership which Mrs.Thatcher signed us into. It costs Norway 420 million just to be there and have no say in how it operates thats the sort of trade deal the EU will have in mind. The BRexit has no cards to play.

Originally posted by DivingIsNotGood No, in simple terms UK paid more than Ł350m a week all along, which again is what I was saying all along. The simple maths are: uk total gdp =2.8trillion Central projection for lost gdp by 2019 due to brexit = 5.9% (although it already looks like it will be significantly worse) then 5.9% of 2.8tr = Ł160 billion lost. Whatever you take the cost of eu membership (i.e gross or net) we would still be atleast Ł100 billion worse off.....oh and immigration is expected to rise, but it just feels better cos 'we took back control' yeah!

Still don't understand the enthusiasm for full EU membership. We buy more from the EU than we sell to them. We are also a significantly larger market than Norway. Norway pays 420 million what and how frequently? Is it more that the Ł844m a month net contribution we currently make to have access to a trade deficit and a questionable degree of influence over what? I'd say the Brexit cards are very playable.

Brexit is the biggest busted flush since the south sea bubble...but you are correct, play the hand we have been dealt we must. We have to cut our cloth accordingly. I would say cut the triple lock pension, reduce nhs spending and other public services e.g police and borrow in this cheap monetary bubble to fund infrastructure projects. My brother voted leave. He is a plumber who only worked part time cos he looked after the 2 kids. His wife had a goox job until last week when she was told she would have to reapply for it cos of restructuring due to brexit. He was never the sharpest tool and is now a rabid regrexiter. i had to feel sorry for him when i heard that he was close to tears but he was taken in by the lies although he was told.
