EU owes us a cash rebate

The national newspapers tell us “Big Ben has been a steadfast monument to our liberty and independence”.

It is not true! Our liberty and independence were handed over to the European Union dictatorship by our own politicians and endorsed by the House of Lords, the Civil Service, the judiciary, the heads of our universities and the BBC and we are about to be financially shafted to get it back.

The unelected parasites who run the EU are demanding compensation when reality demands that we deserve a rebate if anything.

Think on this, the money-no-object EU must employ thousands in Brussels and Europe, logic tells us that the majority will be Belgium, French and German – do we, across the channel see any of those jobs?

How many building and other capital acquisitions or capital investments were purchased by the EU while Britain was a member, up until Article 50 was enacted? Whatever the figure is, the UK is a 1/28th shareholder in every one of them and the capital value of them. We are, therefore, owed a rental on each and every one of them in perpetuity.

This value could be considered and negotiated as an offset against what the EU believe they are owed by the UK, or the UK could simply pay the EU demand and then set it’s own rental demand year on year for its 1/28th share of all EU assets. Justice then demands that we seek out all who took part in this, the worst political decision the country has ever made, punish them severely and abolish every EU pension paid to any GB resident!
