On: UK votes to leave EU

[gonvaled]

Thats because (overall)you are richer: the EU works at the region level. Besides, the EU is not only money, there are also intangibles.

Besides, you are counting only EU related expenditures. Are you counting indirect benefits? How much money makes london operating EUR finantial center? And lots of other indirect benefits.

Nevertheless, it's wrong and disingenuous to state that the UK has taken "everything" and given "nothing."

To be completely fair, I did not say "nothing":

> they have taken everything from the EU, and given little in return

(not edited, that's my original statement)
