    I don't care at all.

    I wonder why?
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Because the sum is so tiny its completely irrelevant. Like whining over an EU MP not picking up a 50-cent coin he lost.

    Oh and I was thinking it was because you don't have to pay towards it!

    Europe provides such stellar regulation and beneficial services, that even non-members Switzerland and Norway pay substantial contributions.

    HT does pay towards this, even if Norway is not an EU member. Taxation without representation, as it were.

    That's great. Didn't know that. What a brilliant Ponzi scheme. I wonder who thought that one up, pure genius.

    Why, Norway and Switzerland did, of course. The EU is so benefitial to members that even non-members want to share in it. Have you got any idea how valuable European legislation and regulation is to Norway? Most of what is decided in Brussels is adopted instantly in Oslo. I say we ought to get a good deal more contribution form Norway than we are currently receiving. Although on the upside, we get to decide Norwegian policy in this manner. An oversees colony, as it were.

    What Louis said.

    We pay the EU money, and the EU trades with us like we were a member. We also adopt all the rules, regulations and standardizations the EU comes up with, mostly because a tiny export country like us craves standardization.
