"It is an unacceptable way for this organisation to work - to suddenly present a bill like this for such a vast sum of money with so little time to pay it," he said.

Yeah good point. Most people don't realise that in the UK vast tracts of land are owned totally obscurely, often by families going back to feudal times and some via mega-corporations who buy the land to 'farm' the billions in subsidies. It's a big issue in this country that we never had proper land reform and it's a big hidden cost on our lives.

Was listening to the radio and apparently they do this every year. Last years correction meant we paid near on half a billion but nobody noticed...............

This bill makes the pro-EU camp's causes even weaker...take Ed Ball's "solution for the NHS" by taxing multi-million pound houes pales into insignificance.....If he were in charge along with Ed that extra few billion would have to be used to payoff the EU.

I'm no pro european but this is an important fact. I think we've received a payout for the last two years running.

Typical of the tax people.
Two years ago my lad left full-time work to start uni. He therefore had overpaid tax and claimed it back.
Only to receive a letter telling him that, strange as it may seem, he had UNDER paid one year by EXACTLY the amount they owed him that year...so they owed him nothing
When we queried it, sure enough, they paid up...but by this time had held onto his £800 for four months.

I'm just wondering if this isn't a Jim Hacker, Euro sausage moment though. Manufactured drama, to which the hero comes out fighting and claiming "victory" on something that was complete cobblers in the first place. You have to remark on the timing with Rochester as well....

They do these sums annually - had to know it was coming
Plus disparity with they knew a week ago at the exchequer but didnt tell cameron etc
Plus the figure seems to be based on growth - if the politicians werent manipulating the figures so much to try fool the populous into believing they know what they are doing truer figures would of given a different outcome - its all part of the circus

Cameron is selling our stake in Eurostar which should raise a billion or two and if he cancelled Trident he should have enough to pay EU and plug the NHS hole.
And of course if they stopped HS2....
I hope we do stay in EU. I think rags like the Daily Mail have done a lot of damage in stirring the xenophobic **** that's around.

As for your 2010-era comments of xenophobia, you are misjudging things. Its not the DM or media causing the resentment, its the numbers of immigrants and their behaviour that is, despite efforts by the BBC, Labour and useful idiots to tell people that they are "thinking wrong" and should hold different "approved" views.
As for staying in the EU, it beggars belief that the EU can ignore referendum results and keep doing them until the correct answer is given, help themselves to peoples bank accounts in Cyprus when the Gvmt ***** up, remove democratically elected heads of state in Greece and Italy, take control over nation state Parliaments, demoting them to mere regional authorities with no actual power, enforce human rights rules that actually favour criminals and illegals, help themselves to vast amounts of money that is then frittered away in huge corruption and unaudited accounts for 20 years, cause huge diplomatic problems and a virtual local war in Ukraine, cause huge environmental problems with their agricultural and fisheries policies, and yet still find useful idiots like yourself to defend the indefensible. No wonder the country has so many problems when so many idiots have the vote. Times are changing though thank f*ck

ANOTHER useful "No it isn't" post from our resident government apologist.
Any chance of an actual rebuttal where you tell us what's wrong with the above post?
Because most people I know are in agreement...and there are neither lies nor mistakes in it, AFAIK?

Exactly. This ,, they signed up to this years ago - its not out the blue
They do these sums annually - had to know it was coming
Plus disparity with they knew a week ago at the exchequer but didnt tell cameron etc
Plus the figure seems to be based on growth - if the politicians werent manipulating the figures so much to try fool the populous into believing they know what they are doing truer figures would of given a different outcome - its all part of the circus

For that, Cameron has every right to be annoyed.
