The difference is that (aiui) this is merely the EU accountants applying the rules that everybody has signed up to. I also understand that the reason the UK contribution has gone up so much is that the government voluntarily began to include the proceeds of the drug and sex trades this year. Other countries don't do it. This helps show growth in the economy in the year before an election but has some apparently unforeseen consequences :-) The fact that DC is making such a song and dance about it (without suggesting he won't eventually pay it) has everything to do with the fact there's a by- election in a couple of weeks. |
