    Angry UK told to pay more into Europe

    Another reason why Labour won't win the Election - giving us no choice to vote to stay or leave will be an election loser

    Could someone please call Mike Read and tell him not sing a song about this too, might be prejudiced against the minority in UK who think the EU is great !!!!!

    That,s right he,s giving us a referendum through gritted teeth coz he knows most of us want out, and even more will now with European bigwigs asking for 1.7 billion. What a joke! Plus, as Farage says, not one bit of accountabilty on where it,s spent

    Vote UKIP

    Well the good news is that money will be given to poor France and Germany. It's good to help the poor in society.

    Just to say I did read it and fully understood your frustration

    The kind of environment you outlined completely enveloped my wife and nearly broke her.
    Thank goodness she had the strength and the opportunity to recognise it and make changes in both our lives.

    Phil, be sure to give the needed priority to your mahal

    The Tory voters will defect to UKIP and Labour will win.

    I think Ed's thinking on the 'Mansion Tax' is spot on. The Tories wouldn't dream of hitting those multi millionaires.

    And, to throw a spanner in the works ...



    As UKIP surges Ipsos-MORI finds that support for wanting to stay in the EU is at a 23 year high

    These so called multi millionaires have already been hit with stamp duty though, and then get hit again with a 50% tax band

    Rightly so, as Cameron said
    “We need to ask those with the broadest shoulders to contribute the most.”

    Seems to be some hypocrisy here Joe

    Surely that's exactly what Europe are doing to us, taxing the rich to support the poor

    Seems to me that Germany and France have got some dodgy accountants.. Mind you its working for them. Or is it that they are smarter than our government?

    How much do you think high earners should pay Jamie?

    Ever read the analogy between taxes and mates paying for beer the same way?

    So long as they have £53 each week to support themselves just like Iain Duncan-Smith reckons an individual needs, the rest should go to the taxman, obviously.

    What will happen if we don't pay? And it's a waste of time Labour opening their mouths, because they would do exactly as Cameron would do

    It's politics Steve. When someone has dropped a b**lock like Cameron and Osborne, have the other side give them a kicking.

    Andy, I am so glad I don't vote for either of them. Yes, some may say that's wrong, but it's my choice

    Neither do I but that's because they're a bunch of lying, scheming toe-rags although I might give Farage my backing next time, hopefully to end the Old Firm's dominance.

    Of course it's your choice Steve. All the parties have bad points. We just vote for who is best for us. If it stops the Tories getting in, I will vote Labour.
