Britain has been told that it’s rebate — to which it contributes more than its share — may be taken away by Europe. “Britain should be stripped of its EU rebate for breaking solidarity at the European summit, MEPs were told today. Joseph Daul, leader of the centre-right European People’s Party – from which the Prime Minister withdrew his Tory MEPs on coming into office – said Mr Cameron had acted with no consideration for EU solidarity. … And, to catcalls and jeers, UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage declared: ‘We are going to get out of this union – the first EU country to get its freedom back.'”

What Farage also said is that “we’re going to make the Great Escape”. Here’s the Cooler King himself explaining his position.
