Wrong again, most of the money going to the likes of Greece has been repayable loans. Much smaller amounts go as grants to disadvantaged regions, like West Wales for example, badly neglected by the UK government you seem to have so much faith in.
That UK government prefers to stay in power by giving a billion or more to the DUP, rather than spending it relieve hardship.

Home to Aston Martin.
Aston Martin's factory in Wales is on track for production to start next year
More a case of replication and waste:To replicate an economy like that of Spain, Greece, Portugal etc etc etc?
Ah, great....count me in
PS. Charity begins at Home
Companies face an extra 20 billion pounds ($27 billion) a year in costs to comply with the customs arrangement if there is a no-deal Brexit, Britain’s most senior tax official said on Tuesday.
which country would that be? people are having a spend up while they have the chance.
What kind of a boost is that?
Northern Ireland should believe in Charity, it relies on it!To replicate an economy like that of Spain, Greece, Portugal etc etc etc?

Tommie the UK figures are bogus and it seems maths aren't your forte either

Since you struggle with numbers here's a pie chart
You can kid Brexit Voters all of the time...
Indeed, more like 10% and even that excludes other hidden unemployed, like those put on invalidity benefit to massage the unemployment figure.Tommie the UK figures are bogus and it seems maths aren't your forte either

Classic example of Fake News there Flecc on both counts i`m afraid,
Greece receives 6,536.93m EUR
Greece contributes 1,762.03m EUR
so your saying the 5mEUR imbalance is `repayable`?? LOL!!
and as for the DUP negotiating a billion from the gov, as you very well know not a round penny went `to the DUP` as you suggest, but in fact is being at this very moment being distributed to ALL the citizens of NI irrespective of voting preferences.

Not fake news at all Tommie. I was speaking of the repayable loans to Greece, not the EU wide wealth redistribution program to help all countries reach the same standards.
And I don't think distributing that one billion to all N.I. citizens compares with helping poor regions.

Tommie, we in England haven't had an honest unemployment figure from any government since Thatcher shut down the coal mines in the 1980s. Her government introduced the dodge of putting all the redundant miners on invalidity benefit to keep the already high unemployment figure in check, and that abuse has continued ever since.Ah, its all clear now....how foolish of me

Eh, what.... it must be true folks....
The present government in both guises has been using private agencies to try to force those on the benefit back into work, but not into the unemployment figures.
And invalidity isn't the only dodge. Others include unpaid training jobs with companies on the pretext they might get a job at the end, unpaid training courses and voluntary sector jobs, none recorded in the unemployment figures.
When I pointed this out above you thought it funny, but I can assure you it's anything but amusing to those caught in this system.
Where corruption is concerned, the EU has nothing to teach the past masters in this country.

Nothing to do with Clan Bell Tommie, from the TUC using the Eurostat method of measuring unemployment, that you were happy to hold up as an example of how poor things are in the EUAh, its all clear now....how foolish of me

Eh, what.... it must be true folks....
As you said "Eh, what.... it must be true folks....
"So yes, you were foolish, but then that's usual for you.
Undeserved at the expense of the rest of the UK as a political bribe,
Course he didn't, Yorkshire has pudding, not pie.
Eccles has cake, Cornwall has Pasties, it's Leicestershire at Melton Mowbray that has pie.

Well I have got A level maths (but it was a long time ago, when it was harder)
The BBC has this rather fascinating information
By 2014, the Catholic population in Belfast has risen to 49 percent,while the Protestant population has dropped to 42 percent, according to BBC News.
It isn't completely unlikely that the UK Government would try the ruse of solving the Border issue by offering a Referendum on reunification.
If it came to a vote to reunify with the South, when the majority are Catholic, what odds would anyone give for the independent future of Northern Ireland?
The UK population's reaction would be interesting, wouldn't it?
