£106,117 PER MINUTE SCANDAL

The Euroland countries are now officially in recession and can ill aff0rd the Euros 134 Billion budget recently published in Brussels. Even less so can the UK as this report from the Bruges Group just released clearly shows: Latest Bruges Group Publication HOW MUCH DOES THE EU COST BRITAIN? The price of the combined direct and indirect expenses of EU membership in 2008 costs Britain £55.775 billion. Set out in the latest Bruges Group research by UKIP MEP Gerard Batten, the full financial burden to Britain has now been calculated. They show a dramatic increase in the costs of the EU - A price Britain cannot afford. Click here to read the full analysis online The facts: * By 2008 Britain will have made total contributions to the European Community (EC) Budget of £230.4 billion gross or almost £68.2 billion net. * By the end of the current EC budget period Britain will have made estimated total contributions to the EC Budget of £315.4 billion gross and £101.4 billion net. * By 2007 Britain had an accumulated trade deficit with the other EU member states of £383.7 billion. * The Common Agricultural Policy costs Britain at least £16.8 billion per annum. * The Common Fisheries Policy costs Britain at least £3.275 billion per annum. * Over-regulation on business costs Britain at least £28 billion per annum. * In 2008 membership of the European Union costs Britain almost £65.675 billion per annum gross or almost £55.775 billion per annum net. FRAUD: * Due to the EU being riddled with corruption it is likely that the equivalent of Britain's entire net contribution to the EU is going into the pockets of fraudsters. THE EFFECTS OF FREEING BRITAIN FROM THE EU: * A BOOST TO THE ECONOMY. As EU red tape is holding back the UK economy by £28 billion, 2% of UK GDP, it is clear that freeing Britain from EU control will get Britain out of recession and get British people back to work. * COST FREE TAX CUTS. As politicians of the three main parties are struggling to explain how they will deliver the tax cuts that the British economy needs they have failed to realise that this money can be found if we stop paying the EU billions of pounds per year of taxpayers’ money. The 2% boost to economic growth created by leaving the EU and slashing its excessive red tape would also increase tax revenue by £10.73 billion. Combine that with the direct savings to the exchequer and it will allow for a 6p in the pound cut in the basic rate of income tax.
