Yet again, I am having to correct you.
They are not EU funds or subsidies.
I am going to say this really clear, so you understand it.
We are currently a NET Contributor to the EU and have been for a long time, in other words, in really simple terms, we put far more in than we get out.
So those subsidies and funding from the EU that you mention above, that I have bolded, is not their money, they are not some charitable cause, giving freely to us out of the goodness of their heart, that is our money we have given them, that they are giving back, minus their cut!!!
