Sparky, do you have the website address where you got that info? As to your question, nobody can say. And that's one of the points that I raised earlier - all figures are blurred/fudged/brushed under the carpet. I do know that we pay a great deal of money to be in the EU, and it seems to me that it is the biggest protection racket I have ever seen/heard of in my life. Basically the argument goes that if we're not in the EU then we won't be able to compete on a level playing field as the rest of Europe!!!?? Isn't that a threat? Basically - pay the money or we'll get you.
Maybe I've got it wrong, but that's the other side to this - we never get any sort of reasoned debate on the subject. Which makes me wonder what there is to hide.
But I agree with the general feeling that the protaests should be called off for now.
Now, around election time might be a good time for another set of protests.......
