re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
Another excellent summary of the EU's failings by Daniel Hannan MEP:

Our annual tribute to Brussels now stands at £18 billion a year gross. If we kept that money at home, we could give the entire country a two thirds cut in council tax. Or we could build and equip a state-of-the-art hospital every week. To put it another way, during the last Parliament, we saved £36 billion through the entire domestic cuts programme; yet, over the same period, we gave Brussels £85 billion. The EU, in other words, wiped out our austerity savings twice over.
