We pay the EU around £53million per day. Some of that is returned as grants for EU approved projects and some as subsidies, mostly for agriculture.
Much of our contribution is spent in other EU countries. We are a net contributor to EU funding.
In the middle of this circular flow of money sits the spider in the web - the EU commission syphoning off vast sums for bureaucracy and fraudulent payments to dodgy organisations and criminals.
Why do we not use our £53 million per day in the UK, directly, with no deductions and on projects and services of our own choice?
