Original Note:
While the post is factual in highlighting the gross weekly membership fees of the EU, the UK’s net contribution was actually far less (211 million p/w in 2018). This is when taking into account the rebate and money credited by the EU into the UK’s public sector. https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/governmentpublicsectorandtaxes/publicsectorfinance/articles/theukcontributiontotheeubudget/2017-10-31
