So we get back some of the money we put in, we’re  still a net contributor.

The electorate. Not even Thatcher could get rid of our NHS.
The EU?

The media (largely owned by rich people), politicians (the rich ones) are all pushing for Brexit. So to mix metaphors, we are now playing with a loaded deck. That was still an interesting read though. Always nice to hear from someone who seems to know what they are talking about. The rest of us are largely guessing

Didn't say they would get rid of the NHS. I didn't even suggest it.

Interesting - even if he did short sell sterling at the same time as talking up the Remain vote then it doesn't appear that he has broken any law. If it is true then Farage executed an excellent trading strategy.

Quoting from the article in UK's EU rebate - explained
In perspective
Other member states must pay more to the budget to make up for the UK’s rebate, with France and Italy facing the highest burden. According to the OBR, between 2009 and 2015 the UK’s average saving due to the rebate was £3.9 billion each year resulting in an average net annual contribution of £8.5 billion.

At the moment, the UK is the third largest net contributor, after Germany and France, to the EU budget. But in per-capita terms the UK is only the eighth biggest contributor.
------

Think about it! While Britain is getting a rebate, the French are suffering. So when we leave, we will be relieving the French of their burden. <---

Agreed. But only because he is a position of influence and as such this is a clear conflict of interest.

Same with everything else. We got more in the the UK than the EU allows and before the EU came along. We got that as the various parties promise these things to get elected. How did we get more before without being in the EU but it will change once we are out? If it's such a big worry and really was linked, which it isn't, what stops us rejoining anyway?

Farage and everyone else didn't expect the vote to leave. If it comes to it, I made some money. I bet we'd leave. I didn't know we would as it's a secret ballot.

The amount of work it would take to rejoin something we are already a member of. There is no fast track. It will take years. Plus we loose the rebate so we end up paying more.
