The EU is what it says in the title " Union ". The richer countries pay more to bring the poorer members up to the same standard. Exactly the same thing the Labour party have been preaching for years - make the rich pay for the poor.
Believe it or not the UK does/did actually get some benefits from being a member and getting out was never ever going to be as easy as some said it would. It will take years to unravel. Just 1 example the The Joint European Torus in Oxfordshire employs thousands with scientists from all over Europe. Completely funded by the EU but taken many years to get as far as it has. It cant just be shut down and moved somewhere else its a muti billion dollar programme that has been 20 years or so in the making.
Little Britain mentality really has done us something that will end up costing us a fortune.
