brianagain Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 As long as Farage and his party keep bandying around statements like "Britain paying £40 million a day to the EU" without any figures to prove this, I take anything he says with a very large grain of salt.Brian (again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Agreed, but the sale of the 'gold' having advised the world what he was going to do, is a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBP 27.9 m / day, so perhaps not such a large grain of salt after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianagain Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Nice to see that eurosceptic Open Europe confirm the inaccuracy of UKIP's figures. However official UK Treasury figures for 2008 put the NET estimated contribution at £3.6bn - just under £10M/day.Brian (again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
