Well, the £380million isn't in the economy and cannot be found. It was based on the full membership cost of the EU, however, the rebate is taken off this figure. It's a bit like me giving you £100 a week but you give me a discount of £40. I can't be £100 a week better off by not paying you because I never paid it to you anyway. BUT then a further amount is paid back by the EU to public funds anyway. SO back to that £100 (that I actually only pay £60), you then give me £30 for some projects. i'm still down some money. BUT then there is funding to private industry and for administration costs for spending the remaining sum. At best I can say I'm £30 down a week (against the original claim of £100), but if I sepnd the £70 a week there is a degree of administration I have to pay for, which comes out of the £30 that you kept.
In short, the £380 millioon claim was wide of the mark, its much nearer £120million. If someone tells me they can spend my money so much better but they get their figures that wrong then I don't think they should be anywhere near money.
Sounds big numbers, the difference between £120 million and £380milion, or not? Not as big as the difference between £900million and £9million. £9million may sound big, but divide that across the number of households in the UK (about 26.5million according to the 2011 census), thats £33p a household (less than a stamp)
So, in that one paragraph there are two 'facts' both are lies.
Now where did the leave funding come from? Sounds increasingly like it came from the Kremlin via an non-UK Aaron Banks owned company donation. And yes, the Isle of Man is not in the UK, so that would be an illegal political donation if the criminal investigation confirms the suspicion.
