Apparently, we're going to have some of it deducted from our benefit payments.

No, really, not an obscure DHSS joke - they'll be offsetting it against our rebates. Also, while we'll only have to pay half, the full amount will be outstanding.

wonderful, you couldn’t make it up
some were asking how far this (so called) bill goes back, well it goes back to 1995
and to add icing too the cake Germany & France get rebates for this period

if someone sent me a bill for anything dated back to 1995 i know where i would tell them to go
the sooner we leave this dogs dinner of a (so called) EU the better off we will be

we can have 'free' trade with them (EEC) Europe can get on with the rest all by themselves
and i do hope they sink and have to swallow there own mire ...
