(Strasbourg) For years the Uk has tried to get the EU to
sort out its finances, but it didnt and due to its wasteful nature the British
voted to leave. During the run up to that referendum, every EU leader smugly stated
that the UK couldn't afford to leave, after the referendum every EU leader
smugly stated that the UK couldn't afford to leave. Well leave the UK is , and
yesterday Günther Oettinger the EU budget commissioner stated that the EU is facing a huge shortfall in cash
So must either spend less or find new money to fill the gap, equivalent to an estimated 16% of the entire budget that the UK will no longer stump up. As Nigel Farage famously said:
"You're not laughing now"
As I mentioned before I have always been pro-Europe. But it really does need to change. Hopefully with the Uk leaving that will now happen. Shame they couldn't bother their arse to do so when the British asked them time and time and time again.
