EU expense should be targeted first for economies

I just read an e-mail with surprising facts on a BBC broadcast which I missed. It seems quite incredible that such an omission as that mentioned could have been allowed to pass especially with John Redwood on the panel. I suggest the three MP and George Osborne should be made aware of huge potential outrage if in the coming period of austerity EU expenditure (mostly wasted) is ring-fenced from economies! From the E mail copy below you will see that the BBC Today programme this morning asked three MPs, John Redwood, Vince Cable, and Michael Meacher what areas of public expenditure they would cut to reduce our national deficit. Amazingly, not one of these mentioned the astronomical cost of the EU to Britain! Neither did GEORGE OSBORNE when interviewed on the same programme later. They should not be allowed to get away with this further attempt to hide the truth about our membership of the EU - in the midst of a severe recession calling for stringent financial restraint! As many as possible please let these "representatives" know a few home truths they need to learn. "To The Today Team. On your discussion this morning in consulting three MPs as to how the current debt burden could be eased, millions of listeners would be astonished to hear that not a single oone of them mentioned the astronomical costs of the "elephant in the room", namely that of our membership of the European Union. ! How grotesquely (or willfully) blind could one get? In 2008 the UK paid no less than £55,775 Billion to the EU merely for membership of this corrupt, expensive bureaucracy for which nobody has voted in any election!. Why did the BBC not pursue the MPs over this? Why for example, did nobody raise the matter of the further crippling cost of EU regulation on British business, estimated between £20 - 40 Billion p.a.? Why no mention of the scandalous waste of public money on the failed CAP and Fisheries "policies"? So we could go on. As usual, the BBC, clearly, and presumably deliberately, avoids what is so obvious to the rest of the UK Why?
