It hasn't been reduced. It's been split into 2 parts, and there would have been a rebate anyway so....smoke and mirrors. The first instalment has been timed to be after the general election too.

If so then at least someone will be telling the truth. (facts).

the UKIP party would not know a fact of any kind if it bit one of them on the butt. The whole party doctrine is based on misinformation and jingoism. I for one would leave the best country on earth if the odious Mr Farrage and his lobotomised followers ever came to power.

We were entitled to a rebate of half of it anyway

So the bill was only ever £850m

Cameron came out claiming it was £1.7billion and is now claiming a triumph for having to pay what the bill actually was in the first place!

The fact you think he's done well and overachieved labour means his plan has worked very well, some of us can see through it though

Including the Tory MEP on the radio who's also spotted the same trick

there would be no door to shut as the place would be bankrupt without a pot to piss in!

UKIP are a bunch of white middle class men with no ideas or strategy save for one policy of leaving the EU. It would seem that the lobotomised inhabitants of a UKIP goverenerd UK would not care in any event.

A lot of people think otherwise, enough to get the other three parties into a sweat and whatever you may think about UKIP it's up to the indervidual voter and what he or she does with their vote so resorting to diatribes is like pissing into the wind.

The British public should feel offended that Osborne and co would think we'd be fooled by such an obvious pr stunt.

You seem to be a supporter of the party?

Can you list three policies the UKIP have other than on immigration and EU?

I am interested to know?

I'm not a supporter, but support anyone, of any political persuasion, who questions the EEC,EU, Common Market or whatever flavour they are this week

I like Farage's bolshiness and the fact the other parties hate him, always gone for the underdog.

As it comes towards election time I will decide whom to give my vote to as most will be building the policies now.

Farage has been accused of changing some policies to suit the voters, and?.

If he wants to elected he needs to appeal to enough voters to get him in so will have to change quite a lot,as the other parties will,especially over Europe.

When was the last time accountants signed off the books for the EU?.

Paying the bill in 2 parts is a great achievement it saves a great deal of interest.

If you don’t thinks so work out how much interest would have to be paid on 850 million while we waited for the EU to repay the refund.

You might try to score political points but we are talking about hard cash that you and I the taxpayers have to fork out.

You really have bought their line hook line and sinker haven't you!

It isn't a bank loan it's a correction of funds we pay each year, as such there isn't an interest, no taxpayers have been saved!

They've just delayed paying until after the election for political benefit

This current government signed the 2013 statement of GDP on which the UK contribution has been calculated.

If the vox pop really believe this contribution has not been in the books for over 18 months they are quite niaeve. To think that Brussels send us a unbeknown invoice is quite ridulous and if Cameron and Osbourne are suggesting they didn't know about this then they should be sacked.

All the rear end of a pantomime horse with the inevitable results.
