    Default EU budget: Who pays most in and who gets most back?

    In 2017, Germany, with a net contribution of €12.8bn, was the largest contributor, followed by the UK, with €7.43bn. Poland was the biggest net recipient of the EU budget (getting more back than it contributed in the first place), followed by Greece, Romania, Hungary and Portugal.

    I have never understood why rich countries like Germany, UK, France, Italy, Sweden, The Netherlands, etc., give so much money to poor countries. In exchange for that money, the largest contributors only receive contempt and insults in return.

    The UK needs to start funding our own underfunded areas of the UK, especially Cornwall and the south-west and the north - instead of paying Łmillions each week to the EU in funding eastern and southern EU states.

    Luckily Norway, Switzerland, and Iceland are free and independent from the EU dictatorship, can elect the people who make their laws, have control over their immigration borders and laws, etc.

    I remember this was the first ever time I listened to former stockbroker and MEP Nigel Farage in the video clip below - where he stated that the UK is funding public toilets and sewers in other EU states when our public services are crumbling in the UK - which made me feel outraged and it made me wake-up to the EUSSR. Since then for many years I've been making a lot of anti EU videos on YT.

    0:45 'You've given away Ł7 billion of British taxpayers money - for nothing in return! Why should we pay a penny piece to fund sewers and toilets in other EU states?!'


    Commies and Euro bankers are running the EUSSR. (Former unelected EU President Herman van Rompuy's sister is in a Belgian Communist Party when he was making the laws for 500 million Europeans.... and former unelected EU President Jose Barrosso was in a Portuguese Communist Party. A former Nazi SS soldier was a founding father of the EU between Germany and France after WW2. It's like a Fourth Reich in some regards, a former Soviet Union in other regards.... and is rapidly becoming Eurabia.... the United States of Islamic Europe. Dimitri Medvedev (the former President of the Russian Federation and a close friend of Putin stated that 'the EU has the worst excesses of the former Soviet Union.')

    0:02 'Mr. EU President, you're making the laws for 500 million Europeans and you receive a bigger salary than Obama.... and most Europeans don't even know your name and who you are! I want to ask who are you Mr. President - who voted for you?!'

    Many years ago I remember Eurosceptic MEP Nigel Farage gave an excellent speech in the EU parliament about how the EUSSR has caused a lot of divides between Europeans, rather than uniting us.

    He stated during the bailout crisis of the PIIGS states (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Spain, Greece) in the EU, the southern Europeans kept slagging-off the northern Europeans in their media and in the EU parliament, the northern Europeans were slagging-off the southern Europeans back and calling the southern Europeans as 'lazy' and incompetent'. The western and eastern Europeans have become more hostile towards each other too.

    A Welsh UKIP (UK Independence MEP) told a former Spanish leader in the EU parliament in the short clip below to 'get his own house in order' before lecturing the UK on how to run our country.



    Forced political unions leads to dictatorships, greed, disagreements, hostility, and eventual divides.



    We want to leave the EU dictatorship.... and we want want no treacherous withdrawal treaty with the EUSSR. We don't want to be held to ransom and ordered to pay the EU Ł39 billion in a divorce bill, nor want to remain trapped in the EU in any withdrawal deal treaty signing and with no power or say in the EU in future decades. Leave means leave! No treaty deal! Clean-break Brexit!

    The Brexit Party are now the single largest political party of any European nation in the EU parliament. The Brexit Party consists of democratically elected MEP's (some of whom are doctors, leading businessmen, dentists, opera singers, stockbrokers, electricians, etc,) who want to leave the EU dictatorship. The Brexit Party MEP's turned their backs in the EU parliament when the 'O Sole Mio' EU national anthem was played - because 'O Sole Mio' is not our national anthem. EU flags are burned by people in the U.K. as we don't want their toilet-rag flag.



    2019 UK European election results. The Brexit Party won many seats across England and Wales for anti EU MEP's to represent us in the EU parliament in Brussels. We seek independence from unelected foreign EU Presidents in Brussels making the vast majority of our UK laws.



    F.U. to the EU. When the UK leaves the EU on 31st October 2019, the other EU states will have to pay more to cover the other EU states in bailouts when the UK stops giving contributions, and will have to fund the extra housing for millions more future refugees to the EUSSR in the EU's borderless EU states.

    We don't want their 'O Sole Mio' national EU anthem, their flag of 5 pointed stars in a circle (reminiscent of a witchcraft coven - as witches stand in a circle during rituals and they wear 5-pointed pentacle stars around their necks,) their doomed Euro currency, and their unelected foreign EU Presidents making the majority of our laws, etc.

    When the UK leaves the EU on Halloween, I think other countries who are trapped in the EU's economic prison will leave too and will help to break down the monsterous EU dictatorship ... and will get their countries and democracy and self-government back.



    Future Islamic rapeugees to the EU (who are free to move around to any borderless EU state they want to live in when they're given EU citizenship from any member state,) will have to go and live in the other EU states and get free funding from them instead, when the UK leaves the borderless EU and takes back control of our immigration laws and borders. They're another drain on our economy.

    The new UK leader wants much stricter laws for future immigrants who must pass English tests and they must be highly skilled, and he also wants them to have no entiltement to free welfare upon arrival to the UK.

    Because a large number of EU institutions are based in those countries.

    Now you know part of the reason why some countries are more Euroskeptic then others.


    With that said in a couple years these figures will change. Romania will be the top receiver, with Poland falling to 2nd or 3rd (if I recall).

    I feel sorry for the Greeks though as they were sacrificed on the altar of the euro.... and they're an intelligent people like the Hungarians and Italians who all know that the EU is poison. That's what I like about the Greeks and Italians is a lot of them are anti EU and aren't brainwashed by the EU.

    The Germans and other northern Europeans keep giving the bankrupt states bailout loans that they struggle to repay. They're caught in an economic trap and the EU's single market. A financial expert stated that Germany would be 3 to 5 times richer outside of the EU's single market, and so would other EU states.

    Former stockbroker Nigel Farage was the former President of a political group called EFD (Europe of Freedom and Democracy) on behalf of other Europeans who seek independence and who want the EU dictatorship to break down. The more countries that leave the EUSSR and take back independent control of their countries, the better. A large percentage of Dutch people want to leave the EU too.

    They wouldn't be in this economic mess if they were free to govern their own nations and if they were allowed to have their own currencies.



    The Italians overspent... and the EU dictatorship removed democratically elected leaders in Italy and Greece who wanted independence from the EU - and replaced them with pro EU puppet governments.



    They should at least leave the Eurozone and get their own currency back - but they're trapped in the Eurozone and the EU dictatorship won't allow them to leave the Eurozone, nor allow them to leave the EU.


    The German leader Merkel keeps imposing harsh austerity measures on the southern EU states. The French are fuming with Macron. The Germans and other northern Europeans keep giving bailouts to them and are feeling pissed-off too. The whole EU project is a disaster.... but the Euro Central Banks and rich dictators like Merkel and Schulz don't care about Europeans. They just want big government control and a NWO over 500 million Europeans. The EU is anti European democracy .... and the EU is turning the EU states into the Islamic states of Europe with the EU's borderless immigration policies.

    Europeans, is this what you want for your countries (states of Europe)?? Rise up and oppose the EU dictatorship!





    Who is this pig and German dictator (aka 'the most powerful woman in the world') to dictate the laws to 500 million Europeans?



    Our ancestors fought and died so we wouldn't be ruled from Germany. Today this combined Fourth Reich/EUSSR project that controls our laws and money is rapidly becoming the Islamic states of Europe. The silent takeover of European nation states democracy has deviously been done without guns and wars this time (like Hilter and Napoleon tried to do,) but with the signing of EU treaties.

    We want to be friends and allies with other Europeans and do trade with them and have good relationships with our European friends... but we don't want this political dictatorship over Europeans. The EU is anti European.

    Remember that the founding father of the EU (Fourth Reich) was a former SS soldier and a prisoner of war in the US.

    They made EU membership more attractive by giving donations to poorer countries. If it weren't for the donations, poorer countries would be less interested in EU membership. The EU wanted to expand for whatever reason.

    I don't think we should only look it like that picture above (or like on the left below). I think we should also look it like as showed on right below. Putting those together will give a real picture.
