European Union - Lying again
WORKERS, MAY 2006 ISSUE
The 2005 UK Balance of Payments Pink Book says that our total net contribution to all EU institutions from 2000 to 2004 was £23 billion, i.e. £4.6 billion a year. Ignoring this, government figures only show our net contribution to the EU budget (excluding direct contributions to EU institutions), which was £13.9 billion from 2000 to 2004, i.e. £2.8 billion a year.
Lies, lies....
