It's come to our attention that you owe us £60. Having looked at the total you receive for the year, we're sure you'll agree it's such an insignificant amount that it won't cause you any problems if we just deduct £15 from your next 4 payments.
Yours sincerely, The Dept of Work and Pensions."
£60 Billion is only about half the Nhs budget for a year. Makes you wonder why it's in crisis when we have 'trillions' slopping around
If this was agreed to, it was agreed to.
I believe this is spread over a few years, 2021 was touted, it being the amount britian agreed to pay per year to the EU anyway, the amount you seem to be happy for the UK to pay for ever and anon. If you signed up to a years memebership to a gymn, you have to pay if you go or not.
Suddenly oh look it's half the NHS budget.
Equally, the EU has to pay whatever they agreed to pay the UK as well.
The UK seems to have billions to spend on aid to India and other places when they are spending billions on their military, may be the UK should look to see who realy needs the aid then spend the money more wisley back home.

You could forget the rubbish about increasing Defence budgets, then have plenty of money for any aid scheme in this country or elsewhere you like. The "savings" on scrapping/cutting F-Aid are a pittance compared to other scams that the precious bloody Daily Mail wouldn't attack in a million years.
Stop wofting the race card.
Nobody is saying stop foreign aid, merely don't give it to countries that is spending billions on their military.
Fair enough give aid, but give it were it is needed.

The media folk who bring it up DO want to stop it!
I daresay there is scope for better direction of aid spending.
Take the whole Band Aid thing, supporting the Ethiopian famine. Of course, Ethiopia were at war with Eritrea at the time and Ethiopia were the aggressors. Is it credible that Eritrea should have no victims, no starving, no media attention and no money?
I realise this is getting beyond the remit of Europe now, sorry

RE: Europe, Referendum & Brexit ( formerly Europe..IN or OUT??)
it's a fair point
once Brexit kicks in we can have something else to focus on while negotiations take place like Jeremy Corbyn
I'm just bloody glad that he's not part of the negotiating team, he's probably would want us to be back in Europe, but whne he say's it's fine for Scotland to have 2nd independence referendum he's sure focusing more on breaking up the Union
