The
Bruges Group assessed the total costs of the EU to the UK, over and above our
membership subs and came to the staggering, costed sum of £55billion per annum
for 2008. (Heaven knows what that would be now!) With much of its information
coming from the Government's own Pink Book, the figures seem fair but
understated.
The
Taxpayers' Alliance claimed in 2013 that the actual figure was more than double
- with much of their information coming from the Open Europe publication. Their
figures may perhaps be seen as a little on the high side.
There
seems no doubt that the truth must fall, rather frighteningly, between these two
figures.
Simple
conclusion - we cannot afford membership of the EU. Paying huge amounts to obey
rules designed to work for the better interests of everyone but ourselves is
self-destructive.
Why
is UKIP the only party which does not hide the truth?
