The answer to all three is lots! Problem is its not that straightforward. That figure is just what we pay in - what we take out. It doesn't account for any economic impact of being members of the EU. That's where the real debate should have been.

They should have to use a different valuer, that would be interesting.

They're the same figures but they've done some rounding up and also included the aid we give via the EU however if we weren't in the EU we'd still give that aid, just directly not via the EU so I'm not sure you can really include that in the calculation.

BBC are getting shit now, probably from Daily Mail readers, for putting a poppy on the Cookie Monster. The RBL said they weren't fussed about it but apparently that's not good enough.

What figures have you got then? Mine are from HM Treasury: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/483344/EU_finances_2015_final_web_09122015.pdf

Wasn't it just West Ham that decided to do that. Presumably because it would be expensive to use their stadium. Obviously the same for us but we're not a big important PL team who can do whatever we like.

I'm sure they'd be a little annoyed if they found the promised security wasn't in place and the bonds had gone into default.

Again thats not what is being said but surely, as a generalisation, its easier for people to know what is meant but things staying exactly as they are versus taking a leap into the unknown. I'm sure there's people who voted remain who had the most out there ideas of what would happen if they...

According to the Treasury are gross contribution is £17.8bn (£342m a week). However since 1984 we've paid less than the 1% of GDP everyone else pays. We get a rebate which is currently £4.9bn. So that's £12.9bn (£248m a week). But we don't actually pay the money and then get the rebate we pay...

Voting remain was voting for things to stay the same. I think most people can cope with working out what that means. Voting leave was a leap into the unknown. We had, and still don't have, any idea what exit agreement the UK will make with the EU, we don't know what agreement the UK will make...

Well as voting remain meant things staying the same it wasn't too hard to work out.

Except I never made that statement. This thread has numerous posts stating that those who voted leave knew exactly what brexit meant and exactly what they were and won't voting for.

Right so your assertion is that nobody who say constant reference to £350m a week to the NHS if we leave voted believing the NHS would get the money being promised?

Before this descends in to the usual circular argument this is the relevant bit from the bonds And from the accounts On the face of it he does seem to have a point as what is in the accounts isn't an independent appraisal. I assume there's an obvious answer though as I can't imagine they've...

Didn't say that, I said it was very different to £350m. And is £136m a week going to the NHS as they were saying the whole £350m a week was. The war comment was pretty ridiculous, although there are those who will argue that the EU has prevented further conflict within Europe. As for the rest...

If the court decides all UK devolved parliaments must vote then if any one of them votes against continuing with brexit that's it, doesn't matter what the rest vote. Given that both Scotland and NI voted no I'd say its pretty risky for May, assuming this isn't all a plan to stop brexit happening.

So everyone knew exactly what vote leave meant but two of the most high profile figures of the leave campaign, Farage and Johnson, had totally different views. Has there ever been a more blatant lie than the official vote leave bus having £350m to the NHS plastered down the side of it. We don't...

How have you worked that out? Scotland voted remain, if the Scottish parliament rules with the majority in the country they are the parliament of they will vote against invoking article 50.

So it looks like May could have shot herself in the foot by appealing to court. Scotlands Lord Advocate is applying to speak at the trial. This could very well lead to a ruling that not only does it have to be voted on in the Commons but also in the UK's devolved parliaments.

Seating was £15 at Morecombe wasn't it? £12 for standing.
