Based on money we give in aid.... look it up, Google is your friend.....
Your right, it is boring hearing about how we should all love each other and live in a happy hippy commune..... and send this country to shit in the process...
Frankly, I want the money I pay in taxes to go to helping the poor, homeless and hungry in this country - not go toward building new roads in Bulgaria so that locals can get to the ski slopes quicker (look up Dobrinshte - nice new EU road up to the ski area that very few people use....and when they do, it is to go skiing - or in the summer a nice walk in the mountains....whilst people here are queuing for food banks).
Frankly I care about this country, and I want it to be better, and not be a crowded , concrete island where future generations cannot afford to buy a house, get a school place or see a doctor.
Nothing to do with colonialism (seriously??? Wow!). And we can happily collaborate with others OUTSIDE the EU (as has been demonstrated by Dave, we have zero influence inside it).
Hopefully the people of the UK will see sense, vote leave and that will be the event that brings down the whole house of cards.....
But then I am "male and pale" and over 30 so hey......
