Can we also talk about how the EU budget is not a black hole. You pay into a budget that also has things in it FOR YOU!
The 215bn were not lost! A huge precentage of it came back into the UK as science-, agriculture- and infrastructure funding.
Sure you dont get everything back as a net contributor, but lets stop pretending that every single euro (or pound) paid into the EU is lost. Its just plain wrong.

Not to take away from the message, but are the EU contribution amounts adjusted for inflation?
