Britain is a net contributor, Mr K. That means that we put in more than we get back - it's nothing to do with help under the fisheries policy.

Although we get some money back, we don't get to say how it's used. That's how farmers get to receive a subsidy for doing nothing.

What a pig's ear the EU make of everything at our expense. 🐷
