Petition Action

Do not pay the additional £1.7bn demanded by the EU

Additional Information

It is absurd the amount we pay to the EU before this ridiculous addition.

We have worked hard and taken difficult cuts to get our economy back on track. If other countries have failed to improve their situation it is up to their own tax payers.

It is not up to the UK taxpayer to foot the bill of other country's economic failings. Especially when Germany and France are having a reduction of more than £1.4bn between them.

Refuse any increase come what may. We the British people shouldn't be punished for our hard work.
