European Union asking for £1.7 billion more

Additional Information

Why should we pay more to the EU when public sector workers have not had a pay increase in 4 years? Inflation and increased pension contributions have caused a real time decrease in salaries. In essence, the British taxpayer would have to pay for this by not being paid adequately in the first place. This can be avoided by Mr Osborne giving us a pay increase that would offset the "gains in the British economy" so as to reduce the contributions to the EU.
