Blame whoever created the graph (I was looking at and who labelled
it with small figures. However, that doesn't change my point that,
in the grand scheme of things, what we pay to the EU isn't really a
big part of government spending. Indeed, taking the actual cost,
after the rebate and what we get back, it comes to less than 0.5% of
GDP and even the most optimistic of the believable predictions
suggest that our GDP will drop by more than that as a result of Brexit.

Leaving the EU isn't about that.


I doubt there is a single unified vision of Brexit for all those who
voted to leave and the money was certainly one of the reasons given at
the time.


If that's the case then the focus on the money by those wishing to
remain under the auspices of this undemocratic EU is unwarranted.


I have previously provided arguments against all and every reason put
forward by the Leave campaign. This is just one of them, but it gets
attention because it is particularly easy to prove wrong.
