UK to be billed £1.7 billion by the EU

David Cameron: Britain will not pay extra £1.7bn for EU budget - Telegraph

The EU wants us to pay £1.7 billion because our economy did well and essentially give it to other nations who didnt perform as well as they should have.

Germany receives a rebate of €779 million (£614 million), France €1 billion (£788.7 million) and Poland €316 million (£249 million).

Bound to gather more voters for UKIP which I dont like as its mainly English orientated and leaves out the rest of us in the UK but its better than what we have now. Why should we give money to other wealthy nations, its a joke.

Didn't Cameron suffer some stomach problems recently from the Scottish independence poll? Now the guy is furious over how the EU is telling him to pay the bill. I find it hilarious how the EU is screwing UK

Britain is weak and dying country that is irrelevant.

No need to take this country seriously or show it any sort of respect.

@Schutz : There is nothing really wrong in the EU asking UK for this 1.7 billion pounds.

The UK has the fastest growing major economy in the whole of EU and this is just the execution of an agreed formula. A formula that the UK agreed to by the way.

With the rise of Asia, the UK should understand that only an united Europe can make sure the interests of Europeans are taking seriously by the likes of China and even India in the future.

All very well playing to the gallery but the major EU nations will in 10-15 years become irrelevant in world affairs, unless they unite as one block.

There is definitely something wrong with a system that punishes countries like Britain and Germany for our success

There is definitely something wrong with rewarding failure and punishing successsuccess

While rewarding countries like France for their failure.

The EU is a rotting corpse anyway. All over Europe political parties that reject it are winning elections.

You guys aren't getting "punished" just having to pull the weight of the other lazy @$$ non-tax paying countries. *ahemGreece/Italy/ Spainahem*

Beside Socialism!

BBC News - EU budget: Britain must pay 'and that's that' says MEP

Lets see what British influence can do for the country

Just another reason for UK leaving EU sooner than later.

It is imminent... Uk is not enjoying due respectin the EU parliament or its a case of influence over other nations not as strong as it used to be. But abandoning EU may help UK retain its economic growth and strong and indepent foreign policy for future

I wonder how British EU haters will feel if EU puts visa requirements on them to enter eurozone. No more cheap holidays and then they can shower their English love on each other while locked away on the tiny island
