Figures released today EU president Junckers in the first two months (January and February) of 2016 he ran up a bill for transport and hotel bills at a staggering £451k if that's for the first two months what did he run up for the year.

FAR too much, whatever the amount is!

So who's lying on the side of the bus the cost of us being in the EU was 350 million a week which was desputed by remainers yet this think tank have come out with a figure exceeding that

THE true cost to Britain of being in the EU has been £660million a week since 2010, a think tank says.
This includes more than £80billion lost to the Treasury after the European Court of Justice forced tax rebates to multinationals and £50billion in Eurozone bailout obligations.
In membership fees alone, after the rebate has been returned Britain has paid out £70.6billion in fees.
But the Bruges Groups says our real financial commitment is £275.08billion.

Well here's a surprise

REMOANER Gina Miller is set to make a packet out of Brexit as she is paid “an undisclosed sum” for her memoirs.
The super-wealthy hedge fund wife has become a household name after she launched a campaign to block Theresa May's Brexit plan.
In a high-profile case the stalwart remainer took her opposition to court and forced the Government to hold a vote in Parliament over the Brexit bill.

You think with all the problems she has had since she put her head above the parapet she would now keep a low profile.Just goes to show you a very intelligent woman but no common sense.

whilst the vote to leave was very close it is interesting to see that more than 70 per cent of Britons would slap down a Brexit bill of £30billion or more, according to new poll.Just how much Britain should pay Brussels – if anything at all – is a key sticking point of Brexit that must be thrashed out before the UK can start negotiating any future relationship with the EU.
Yet as public opinion hardens against giving the EU more money, voters seem to be willing to accept to offer a £10billion divorce settlement to the sprawling superstate.

Given the fact that the government can call upon some of the finest legal brains in the country, one would have thought that they would have taken legal advice on 1. Is there a financial penalty for leaving. 2. If so how much and 3. Do the European governments owe the UK., anything on leaving. Before starting the leaving process, thus avoiding the present poor performance and uncertainty.

I would pay them anything they asked for AFTER they have produced 40 years worth of signed off audited accounts!

[welchboy]

I think if they did that, they would need to build a new Bastille for they would certainly have a few new guests to cater for.

Read somewhere that because of our level of contributions we are owed 1/14th of all assets!
