Why do you think he chose to use the larger number on the campaign?
And you can’t complain that “remainers are funnying posts” then funny one of mine which, disappointingly, wasn’t actually funny.
If there are two figures and you use one of them, how is that wrong?
We do send £350 million to the EU and get back £100 million as a rebate and yet that's being wilfully denied.
Exactly.
Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean the figure is wrong.
Yep. And will be for more yet.
Why do you think remainers want to use the smaller one?
I haven't seen a post in this thread or any other in the politics threads actually funny but they must be hilarious.

This is starting to sound like “invisible borders”
Because it’s the factually correct amount that we pay to the EU for our membership I assume?

So, "We send the EU £350 million a week" is incorrect because we don't send that amount.
Poor old Boris - he's not a popular man in political circles and it seems his opponents will put any obstacle in his path to trip him up.
This is obviously a political manoeuvre and a unique legal test case.
Interesting.
"We give the EU £350 million a week." "We get a rebate of £100 million."
The actual amount that moves is £250 million. But that's a separate issue.
It isn't wrong to say "we give the £350 million" and that was what was on the bus.
Fella is ok ?i did not offend ?. Please do not use that myopic discussion tool, you quite rightly exposed his position as I had in a previous post . I was just expressing that an entire party can do the same as in sit on a fence and then shift its posiion , flip flop for votes.
Believe I was the first one on here to actually express that ?
“We send the EU £350 million per week”
..is factually incorrect.The £350 million figure isn’t incorrect, it’s the statement that we send that much to the EU each week.
As you say, the actual amount that moves is £250m, hence “we send £250m to the EU each week” is correct.
Was the free pot of money for reallocation £350 million?
