The slogan was a statement of fact about what the UK sends the EU each week. The EU expects and receives a lot less. Do you honestly think that someone at the EU is sat there emailing the UK going, "thanks for your cheque, now please make it up to £350m as that's what we expect?" That sounds ridiculous and I'm sure the EU would never get away with such an approach.
