The BBC report that:
£8.8 billion a year equates to around £169 million a week, that does seem like a lot of money. That figure is an 'at least' figure, I wonder what the actual figure is. Somehow I don't expect that the BBC will be pushing that aspect of the story.
So doesn't that mean that the British were contributing far more to the EU than they were receiving from the EU?'The UK's departure from the EU will leave a budget shortfall of at least €10bn (£8.8bn; $11.4bn), the budget commissioner has warned.
Günther Oettinger said the bloc must either spend less or find new money to fill the gap, equivalent to an estimated 16% of the entire budget.'
