Second biggest? After germany, france and italy. That makes you fourth. So no medal.
Privious budget was balanced halfway of december. So we have some months to go. Perhaps, if boris is right, we have a very profitable trade agreement with the UK before then. So no worries son, we will make it out.
Hi
Well here I am defending Bread.
The UK is the second biggest contributor in terms of money.
It is not the second biggest in terms of cost per head of population.
Some countries benefit hugely whilst not appearing on the radar.
Luxembourg is one.
France is a Country which benefits hugely, the Common Agricultural Policy is designed to subsidise inefficient small French Farms.
Some history for you.
Poland was split after WW2 and huge parts of Eastern Germany became Western Poland.
German Heritage, German Architecture.
That is why Merkel is putting huge amounts of money into Poland via the EU.
