[Osem]

A bit of an aside but I've just seen a well known actor (whose name escapes me) being interviewed on TV (The Wright Stuff) who was going on about how strange it is that people might not be happy with the EU when, in his words, there are signs everywhere saying funded by the EU or words to that effect.

I get it, maybe if we had signs on every publicly funded building, infrastructure project or whatever, saying 'Not funded by the EU' that'd put things into better perspective and redress the balance. The fact is that the EU simply gives us back some of the money it takes from us and one of the main arguments in support of Brexit is/was to take back the power to spend all of the money saved how we, via our elected leaders, choose to rather than having Brussels bureaucrats dictate it then erect signs telling us how generous they've been...
