End of the EU?
Being reported that Italy is furious with Brussels due to the handling of the conorovirus. Now it appears the EU will hand a dictator Billions in aid. Despite Hungary being hardly effected by Covid 19, the EU will give them £4.8 BILLION while countries like Italy and Spain ( two of the worst hit ) will receive just £2 Billion and £3.5 Billion respectively.
Seems like Brexit was not such a bad thing after all.

Yes, just think, we could have been stuck in an institution where they are bound to share research findings, invest in each others research by giving millions to universities to conduct it (glad we're not getting that money!), bound to share sources e.g. of PPE, and where e.g. Germany took in Italian coronavirus victims when the Italians hospitals were full.

Yes just imagine having to pay £49 billion to prop up a failing corrupt institute that gives OUR money to scumbag dictators.

O.N.S.: last identified figures were for 2018, we pay £20bn but with our rebate of £4.5bn and other official funds which flow the other way it's a net payment of £11bn. Other funds which come to us, e.g. large sums direct to our universities, grants to non-public companies etc., reduce that amount further.
A working assumption is that the 5-year average was £7.8bn though the ONS states those aren't their own figures, and do include some of the flow back from the EU which aren't at UK government level.
