All government spending is through borrowing or taxation. The huge amount of money the UK currently sends to Brussels is raised that way.
Oh dear, you are getting desperate. Bridges are constantly being repaired or even rebuilt. I have no idea how many there must be scattered around the countryside, but probably more than 100,000. Three have been completely rebuilt in the past two years on departmental roads within two miles of my house. Compare that with Northants CC who have closed two roads with bridges within my old parish because they cannot afford to repair them.

Firstly nobody ever promised £350million, secondly it will be much better to spend our taxed and borrowed money in the UK rather than give it to Brussels to fiddle.
You need to read this alarming report from the French Transport Ministry in those French papers of yours. With the French debt mountain out of control I suppose it is hard to raise the finance.
Meanwhile you are spending money on getting your passports printed in the EU.
Due to Blair & Brown's mismanagement. Thankfully the UK's debt is well behind France.
“Theresa May plans to give the NHS a present, ahead of its 70th birthday in July — a settlement of 3 per cent extra a year, which would mean that by the next election NHS spending would be £350 million a week more than it is today. This means, much to Hammond’s rage, that the famous Brexit bus pledge is to be honoured — though not of course with money saved by leaving the EU.”
The Spectator, 26th May 2018.
No. Again, remember we said that copying the Daily Fail’s repetitions does not change what really happened. To clarify again, it was a global recession sparked by American sub-prime market. Which I thought we’d agreed, sh?
And, whatever France’s debt, with respect to ofh, I don’t care. The Conservatives have doubled our national debt. Not to avoid austerity, mind you. The public sector has been bummed, millions of pensions stolen, our NHS run down, our schools, universities and their students all on the wrong end of the squeeze. The City was not squeezed because the government was afraid of a ‘brain-drain’. Meanwhile, 40% of teachers leave their profession before they clock 5 years, and 15% of all nursing jobs are currently not populated because each year more nurses leave their profession than join.
It’s criminal, but
somehow some people would still vote for them. 
Bond films are to last 30% longer with scenes of his passport being more heavily scrutinised between exotic European locales.

“‘In and out’, it’s a very hard decision. It’s like the other day, my flatmate was making me a peppermint tea, and he said ‘would you like bag leaving in, or taken out?’ If you leave the bag in, on the whole the cup of tea itself will get stronger, and it might appear that the bag is getting weaker, but it’s now part of a stronger cup of tea. Whereas if you take the bag out, the tea’s now quite weak, but the bag itself goes directly in the bin.”
