Britain has been told it must pay an extra €2.1bn (£1.7bn) into the European Union budget by the end of next month because the UK economy is doing better relative to other European economies.

My British facebook pals are having a meltdown over this and I don’t blame them!!!

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Elections have consequences?

[GeronL]

Britain needs to say “NO”

Let Scotland and Wales pay it.

Well past time to turn-down the Eurostat.

UKIP should get a huge bump from this.

It seems the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain) need bailing out.

I wrote a paper on this in my MBA. It doesn’t look good for the UK in the EU.

or, what...

"From each according to his ability to each according to his need." Remember, that economic recovery? They didn't build that.

For my Brit friends, yes, this is sarcasm.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Ain’t redistribution grand?

[Noamie]

Yeah.

This sounds a lot like our own Progressive tax plan.

Do better, pay more.

Suck out dollars, pay less.

Your money. Some of you are going to have less so others can have more.
So dig deep, give `til it hurts! It’s for the greater good. Yar.

[Timber Rattler]

Or else what?
