Britain Pays £48,000,000 Each and Every Day to the EU

The demonstrations that went on in London yesterday were basically about the cutbacks being made by the Coalition Government and feelings are running high in Britain about the pain being inflicted on people who will lose jobs or have their wages frozen or scaled back.  Understandable the Coalition has the biggest problem any government could have taken on, especially with Labour's  legacy of spend, spend, spend.  On leaving office Labour left the final insult, a note declaring there was no money left in the kitty.  It's been with amazing arrogance that Labour politicians appear publicly at the present time (usually on the BBC) denying their involvement in bringing this country to its knees.  Although most people accept Britain's deficit and know that the Coalition are trying to get us back into shape, what they don't publicise, as Labour never did, is how much we give to the European Union each and every day;  £48,000,000 a day just to be a member, yes FORTY-EIGHT-MILLION A DAY!! and rising! (If my figure is a conservative one I would appreciate your comments, my aim is to pinpoint all the money actually handed over to Europe without us getting anything back.)   We have also had to contribute to the countries who joined the Euro and have gone under, like Ireland and Greece (and now Portugal and possibly Spain next).  We aren't even in the Euro, yet we still have to shore up these ailing countries, and thanks to Alistair Darling, we are committed to this until 2013 (The then Chancellor, Darling hurriedly signed a contract with Europe tying us into this as a parting shot before he left office).  We've paid approximately 6 billion to Ireland already and this is a similar amount that Cameron is planning to claw back by the cut backs in Britain.

The present government continues to give billions of pounds away each year in foreign aid and they have no plans to reduce this amount.  China, unlike Britain, do not give aid to Africa, they are investing in Africa instead, opening up mines, building cities and railways, even bringing their own people in to use as a workforce instead of using the local population, yet we go on pumping money into Africa without knowing exactly what this British tax payer's money is being spent on. 

There is only one party who will save us from Europe and the EU's gradual take-over of all our finances and laws and that's UKIP (The United Kingdom Independent Party).  I will be bringing you a brief outline of their manifesto to show you that they aren't a one agenda party, they care about the British population and they care about keeping our sovereignty.  British tax-payers should be respected and their contributions should be properly and openly used, putting Britain and the British people first.
