Is this a joke? We've had austerity in this country, where other countries have not bothered. Now that has paid off to some extent, we should pay more money to other countries.
We must leave the EU asap.
It is not right, people should have to go to food bank because the Tories are hitting the poorest in society by cutting benefits and imposing bedroom tax and then when Europe snaps their fingers wanting money we just pay up without question. Half the problems with cutting the deficit is corporations not paying taxes and health tourism etc. At least the poor in society get benefits and use them to buy things within this country, so keeping the economy going. However, when we give it to Europe there is no guarantee we will see any of it back in handouts! I'm coming around to think Wondering might be right, we cannot do trade deals with certain countries due to our ties to Europe and as this is contracting, maybe a new reworking of our link to Europe is now due.
You can't rework the UK link with the EU just because you don't like the deal our incomptent politicians agreed to. It is a Union and changes require all member states to participate in a change, don't they?
Because David Cameron has blunly refused to pay it ...you wait...bet Ed and Labour would lol..
So does this anarchic news mean that Cameron won't mind me refusing to pay my Bedroom Tax?? Brilliant!
The UK is inexorably heading towards the EU exit door, and by pulling a stunt like this the poisonous, corrupt EU is hastening the day that happens. I welcome it, as our exit will ultimately lead to the demise of the whole stinking organisation.
