Since the UK isn't a paying member they have to make cuts. Austerity it is. I've always said the EU is attempting to create a one world Government. I get called a looney when I suggest it. Of course a one world Government is near impossible without Russia, US and China. All are trying to create their one world Government. In essence it's the USA, Russia, Europe and China that run things. But the EU seems to be down a few chips. I can bet the UK is going to be up the rear end of Trump very soon.
