UK Net Contributions to EU "set to double"

Ruth Lea, currently Director of the Centre for Policy Studies, has written a short paper on the likely increase in the net contributions of the UK to the EU over the next seven years.

The conclusion to which she comes is an alarming one: that over the next seven years the amount of our net contribution is set to double. This has been brought about, in part, by Blair' shameful surrender of part of our rebate, which was so hard won by Margaret Thatcher and ceded so readily by this Government which is so weak when it comes to the EU.

Just think of the benefits to all of the people of the United Kingdom that an extra £6.4 billion pounds could make in terms of our health and education provision, not to mention (dare one say it?) tax cuts.

Meanwhile Labour plots to hand yet more power over to unelected Bureaucrats in Brussels who remain beyong the reach of accountability to anyone in the EU.
