I'm neither pro- or anti- EU, in the same way as I couldn't give a toot if Scotland is in or out of the UK.
However, to even consider asking for a suprainflationary budget rise is more than a tad ballsy.
Pretty sure they can find a gigantic pile of efficiency savings first.
Even if we get a large portion of the EU budget back to the UK it's ultimately less efficient than keeping the cash here in the first place.

It's meaningless to me nearly 7% is high.Whatever they do people at the bottum of the pile will be hit hardest me thinks.

You are all wrong:
&% is not enough. The inflation rate for drink, drugs and hookers is far more than RPI: See Snr Berlusconi.

Now I'm in no way in favour of increases for increases sake, but looking on the bright side, assuming the increase is in €s, since the € has weaked against the £ by more than 8% in the last year then in £ terms we're paying less surely?
