Which part about the immigration was incorrect? Pretty sure can't remove EU citizens?
That's not what the Brexit poster says. It just says 'unlimited immigration'
It's only unlimited if they can either independently support themselves financially or work here and thus add to the economy.
There is no unlimited free lunch, which is the obvious intimation.
They also continually skirt past the fact that we had more immigration from outside the EU than from within it last year.
You link merely proves that the £55mill per day figure being bandied about by the leave camp is a gross misrepresentation of the facts....
That's hardly the point, as I'm sure you're more than aware! The point is that it's NOT what we pay - as the article itself says. It's therefore dishonest to claim that it is....
It's lies, because that's not what we pay. Read your own link!...
Stop being obtuse and a total cock about it.
You know the point he's making and the correct net figures as it's been spelled out for you.
It's circa 45% of that £55m i.e. £25m
When you haven't got an argument, obfuscate!...
As I posted earlier, even the CBI points out the huge financial benefits of membership.
The potential losses to the economy of leaving don't even bear thinking about!..

It's a stupid argument full stop.
The net cost equates to circa 0.4% of GDP.
The economic estimates for how much our GDP would fall post Brexit range from 1.7% to 3.5%.
So we save 0.4% and the economy as a whole stands to lose up to 3.5%, sounds like a cracking idea
You said its not 55M day, and all I ask what is it gross, not interested in net, as it changes all the time, some of the rebate is variable, you know the bit that the EU say they give us, but in reality its what we give, but get back.
Its Custard, you might need brick-a-bracks and alphabet pasta to explain things to him.
Gross is immaterial. We do not send £55 million to the EU every day or £ 385 million every week or even £20.075 billion every year(£20.13 billion in leap years). I cannot comprehend why you cannot grasp that fact.
He's just being a twat, mate. He knows what we're saying, but won't give a direct response...
Here's what twat Farage has done for the UK fishing industry he claims to be so concerned about!...
