Cost of belonging to the EU
AS the election grows nearer, people are now starting to think more about how our nation is managed generally and how it affects us all, personally.
Professor Timothy Congdon has done a full and comprehensive in-depth study on the cost of belonging to the EU and it may surprise many of your readers to learn that for the pleasure of belonging to this very restrictive club – which has an unelected committee to run it – costs us all an eye-watering £185 billion per year.
This works out at around £8,000 per household, per year.
Had we not joined, we would have no national debt.
Readers should bear this in mind when voting.
