The UK doesn’t pay or "send to Brussels" this higher figure of £18 billion, or anything equivalent per week or per day. The rebate is applied straight away, so the UK never contributes this much.

My point is that politics should not descend to the point where people know that the figures they are quoting are wrong but quote them over a period of time repeatedly. It's plain dishonest. We're talking of facts here, not opinions of what-might-happens.
