Remind me again how much we were paying for this vaunted extra acess per annum?
between 1973 and Brexit Day, we paid £600 billion into the EU scam.

That is a lot of hospitals.
It always gives me a warm and fluffy feeling when watching Michel Portillo travelling around previously economically backward areas of Europe
( Portugal Slovenia, Eire etc) in spanking new German built trains we helped pay for them to have.
But think of the kickbacks.and the underused or unused airports...
That’s novel, the French the root cause........of the potato famine, that’s a bit of a stretch. .Remember as well that in the back drop of all of this the Napoleonic wars were going on. Certain agents of the French state helped finance dissent. Not too dissimilar to the Germans financing dissent in WW1 in Russia.

Brexit: 'I was asked to pay an extra £82 for my £200 coat'
Shoppers buying items from Europe now have to pay customs or VAT charges on those above a certain value.www.bbc.co.uk
"I didn't even know when the parcels would be coming - so I sent both back without paying the extra fees and won't be ordering anything from Europe again any time soon," Ellie says.
Ellie's not very bright, is she?

Well, the ill educated xenophobic Brexiteers were warned about the consequences of their stupidity. The plight of poor Ellie highlights just how bad it can get.Ellie's not very bright, is she?

This from elsewhere
Roger Daltrey has been accused of being a hypocrite after signing a letter calling on No 10 to help British bands tour EU countries after having previously dismissed concerns about the impact of Brexit on the UK's music industry.
Daltrey, the lead singer of the rock band the Who, famously downplayed the effect of Brexit on bands touring Europe, once asking "what's it got to do with the rock business?"
The sunlit upland tour.
I’m not now and never have been a Who (or Brexit) fan.
Of course she could have been sensible and gone to a reputable charity shop, found a fairly new recycled coat and paid 20 quid. Brains of a ferkin rocking horse, which is insulting the rocking horse- Brains hasn't worked out that we haven't removed vat from shop bought items- so call it Purchase tax.Ellie's not very bright, is she?

Johnson must reverse Brexit now so poor Ellie doesn’t get unexpected freight charges added to her new £200 coat.

It's good to see the BBC getting stuck into real news items like this.
Slow news day?

I can't explain, but you better you bet my generation won't get fooled again.
I blame Boris the Spider and all that stuff on the side of the Magic Bus.
Getting fooled once should be enough.
And had a Barracks in Devizes names after him. My first posting from Sandhurst.

Factoid. Many of the PW were Black (NAZI) and after an escape attempt was discovered they were sent to the PW Barracks at Cultybraggan. I used to go there as an Army Cadet, Great days.
Edited to add, Well this I never knew
