Eh? We would be placing a tariff on their goods.

I didn't say that. The EU countries could add more tax to our purchases. It remains to be seen.

What certainly wouldn't happen is the UK being able to leave the EU in a few months times and not help to foot the bill for a period of time for the institutions we've helped to create or expand!

They would charge us more to buy their goods because we voted to leave the EU? Then ask us to contribute to an organisation we're no longer part of?

As part of any settlement for us leaving the EU we would have to continue to contribute to the running costs for a period of time.

Spot on! I hope we are still not paying Adebayor. That said I could watch his goal celebration versus Arsenal a few times more!!

We were paying him £75k a week since he left us in 2012 but now that he's joined Palace we don't have to anymore.

Thanks for the info on Adebayor. No longer paying these fees on the likes of Bridge, Ade and Santa Cruz was a big part of getting our wage bill under control!

Would this be the same CBI who want to maintain the trading treaties with Europe and don't care about anything but their own members profit?
So must be true as there is clearly no conflict of interest!

Are you using an allegations that an institution is partisan to defend your own partisan view point?

This is one of those 'facts' that I find very difficult to swallow. We pay in squillions and yet we screw back more than that? Does the £10b include the millions being sent out of the UK in terms of benefits? A fair number of EU economies are basket cases, others are paupers. From what I read from the business pages, it seems that the only economies that are strong enough to carry the spending of these Eurocrats and their ambitions is Germany and the UK. A good majority of the remaining 26 would be as miserable as fuck if our £10b had to be funded from the remaining 27!!

Well, these papers normally take into account metrics such as inward investment, etc.

Which is why I suggested, its quite hard to measure, and don't necessarily blame people for wanting to have a bit more scrutiny.
 
The way the papers report the money involved with City's transfers, I'm very sceptical that they get the figures correct re EU payments and returns
