    Why are you using quotation marks when I never said that. You are such a liar.

    Yes tax payers

    Would have been UK tax payers on the list, but thankfully the clever ones voted to leave the EU

    I live in Spain and they are certainly not perfect. I am probably one of the very few people who are pro Union, pro Monarchy but also think UK would be better off in the EU(certainly short to medium term)

    The £60 billion pounds isnt just the £350m per week. There's other sources as well. You mentioned £60b and I pointed out that is expenditure and not the source of the money.

    The MEPs can't introduce laws. That is a major problem for any democracy.

    Sadly that is how the world is going, well maybe not quite that bad yet but did you see the UFC fight(or something similar) the other week? A man, who now is a woman absolutely destroyed an actual woman in the octagon( was going to say ring, but there would have been too many jokes). Somebody will get killed. To be fair somebody will get killed with pro boxers fighting youtubers too, but there you go.

    £350m per week was the amount suggested we pay the NHS
    the rest is from all sorts of sources
    are you saying I was meaning the amount was not paid to the EU?
    I even said it was not £350m being paid to the EU
    I may have not explained it well but I dont think anybody thinks I was claiming we didnt have to pay £60 bn a year to the EU
    The ridiculous part was you thinking that because we had to deal with covid it was a source of funds
    Because I showed you that, contrary to your claim, that the NHS got more than £350m per week extra you are now trying to say that my claim was, not less than the £350m per week that I admitted, but we paid the EU £60b per year.

    I said: "The £350m per week was more than the net UK contribution"
    Now because I worded something badly you are claiming that I'd said we paid the EU £60b per year

    You have completely lost me now. Where did I claim that you said that the UK paid the EU £60b a year?

    That's settled that then. We both agree that I didnt say that the UK paid the EU £60b per year.
