Being a simple sort whose maths aren't all they should be, I just tried to calculate the figure of our national contributions to the EU on my little desktop calculator. Thus 43,000,000 x 365 (that's £43m per day, a real bargain, eh?) and the calculator just froze before coming up 'error'. I admit the calculator is Japanese, but was this just an error or was it an opinion?
At £43m per day for the privilege of having our country governed by foreigners that noone has actually consented to, I believe that Sid's analogy is invalid and that for the kind of money we're paying out, the invention of the flying pig would actually be considerably cheaper than staying within the EU.
