Dude, everyone knew that 350 mill was bull****. I never understood why they just didn't say the true figure, it was still an enormous amount.
And yes, I do hate ze EU and the surrendering of so many aspects of sovereignty to foreign powers that are not accountable to the electorate. Did i ever deny it? I still find it mind-bending that politicians happily sign away this stuff cos their EU mates schmooze them and make them feel good. I get why some do - they get a foot on the gravy train, and don't step off again - but not all do that, so why on earth do they do it? I wonder what special place in hell there is for such people who sign away such things, without even a sketch of an idea of where it will lead...
Very few things need to be signed away at international level, but the EU tries to get everything, ignoring its own principles to do so, and leveraging every transfer into a one-way gate that cannot be returned, except by outright leaving.
I loathe it, but could put up with it if it had proper, measured subsidiarity.
It is pretty funny you're still sore about the 350 mill working so well though
