WHETHER you think it is a good idea to pump masses of money into the economy or not, one thing is certain – the country desperately needs cash.

The government wants to borrow now and tax us later but I have a better idea.

UKIP MEP Gerard Batten has prepared a short report for the respected Bruges group revealing that the EU costs us £55billion a year.

This massive amount would go a long way to meet the chancellor’s needs or could be injected into the economy.

Let’s quit this crazy, expensive club and use this cash.
