EU rules
Your money pays to torture chickens.
Depending on whose figures you take, the Treasury or the EU, the UK gross contribution to the EU is either £10.2 billion or £12.4 billion a year. Yes we get some back but the EU tells us what we can spend it on.
We pay MEPs huge salaries, expenses and pensions and Commissioners get a settlement of about £1.1 million upon leaving office see here. The finances haven't been passed off for the 14th year running, many millions are spent on propaganda and if a country is lucky enough to be given a referendum they always have to vote again when they vote NO.
