Conveniently the EU says members only own liabilities and not assets, hence UK has big bill to pay as it's one of the few members that actually makes a net contribution. But the EU's current net beneficiaries don't want to take a cut in their bung, and the other net contributors don't want to pay more. So UK needs to make a big deal of the fact that any money members put in entitles them to nothing by way of ownership of the assets they are paying for! Especially need to get this across to the German public, they are already pissed off at being the big net contributors, and one of the big problems with the Greek bailout is the Germans don't want to admit the write-down on loans made to Greece.MJWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-1512508302340458652017-05-21T16:14:19.259+01:002017-05-21T16:14:19.259+01:00Of course there is a world of difference being ask...Of course there is a world of difference being asked to cough up €100 billion immediately and paying €5 billion a year for 20 years.<br /><br />The latter is a bargain if the UK gets to be in the single market.<br /><br />Colin the BatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-11737330387788581032017-05-21T14:21:34.608+01:002017-05-21T14:21:34.608+01:00Agriculture is stuffed too.
