Our Government pay £43m per day to the EU. We pay the most in and get the lease out. Remember the Cumbrian floods last year? I don't remember anybody from any EU member states putting their hands in the pockets to help us.
Yet the floods in Pakistan we fell over ourselves to send aid over and Cameron visited Pakistan to gave their Prime minister £50m for their schools.
In this country people are struggling to make ends meet, losing their houses through repossession because of job loses.
Just the other day I saw a video on the Guardian website via Facebook about the way the Job Centres easily stop people's benefits because they get awards for meeting targets for stopping benefits because somebody might have problems filling in their job diary, or they refused a job because it would leave them worse off.
Is it any wonder that the BNP and the EDL are rising to prominace?
I predict a civil war or an uprising because we are sick of this country being raped for money.

Could just be an idea if you would point out just how much we are paying interest on the money borrowed by the last incumbent of Downing Street, think its now risen to £45 billion a year and rising by over £100,000,000 a day and remember we get sweet FA for that its all going down the toilet

fair point but this lot are still borrowing money so thats even more interest been paid and instead of using it to help us they are giving it away.
if the government must borrow more money shouldnt it at least be for our benefit and not some other countires.
were giving away money to pakistan school projects yet a report released yesterday shows that child poverty is increasing in this country with children turnig up to school hungry and in tatty clothes because their parents are struggling to feed them and clothe them.Why is pakistans school problems any concern of ours when there are so many schools in the uk that could do with repairs,new eqiptment etc
a local hospice in blackburn is having to beg for money to get a new roof for gods sake.There is so much needs fixing in this country before giving money out to other countries and people are getting sick and fed up of seeing millions going out that will never be paid back.
no matter what the last goverment did or did not do it is this goverments job to fix it and it dosnt seem to be doing a good job of it.All we are seeing is savage cuts to OUR services and increasing prices on everything from fuel to food which only appear to be benefiting others not us

Re: so..
Why are we giving £9.3 billion a year to the EU (up from £5.3 billion in 2009)? Why are we preparing to give yet more billions to bail out Portugal in a vain effort to rescue the Euro - a currency which we are not part of?
Madness...sheer madness.

Re: so..
could somone explain what punishment we would recieve from the EU if we told them to sod off and refused to give money away until we were in a position to do so.France have been sticking 2 finger sup at the EU for years and they seem to be getting away with it so why cant we.
to be honest it appears on tghe face of it that the EU needs us more than we need it.
lets not forget we aqre also giving millions away to countries that are not part of the EU so whats obliging us to give money to them?

All government HAVE to borrow money because the tax revenue is collected retrospective, in other words they can't spend it before you make it, but there's a difference between borrowing for need and borrowing for stupidity, I mean lets face it on top of the £43 billion interest we also have £60 billion in PFI still to be paid for, and all the other schemes that the last government signed up to without sound financial planning its a nightmare. But its absolutely amazing that after ten months out of office Labour seem to have all the answers, just a pity they didn't have them for the 13 years they were in a position to implement them

Sadly, no prospect of that from a gutless poor man's Blair like Cameron. We'll just meekly pay up on the orders of our unelectable, unaccountable leaders in Brussels.
Incidentally, perhaps some of our resident Euro-enthusiasts like Bernard and Claytonender could tell us why it's such a good idea to spend billions of pounds bailing Portugal out in order to save the Euro?
Sssshhhh...

13 years of a Labour Government eh?
Well we live and learn don't we?
The time seemed to go so quickly.
Thank you for such a refreshing revelation Jaysay.
Now if you don't mind, in future if I want repeats I'll watch Dave or Gold, surely unlike them you can think of something new to say?

Can't do with the really old ones Less, the relatively new ones are more apt and definitely to the point, which nobody should really forget

If I had a spare 13 years I could probably work out what on earth you mean, but I haven't so the above will forever remain a mystery to me.
Think I'll go the Railway instead.
