They did an article on the amount of money we pay in against the amount we get back. Presented by Charlie Stayt - made one think.

Pay in £361m/week.
Rebate £85m/week
Treasury £88m/week
Private sector money £27m/week
Cost £161m

To put this into context UK defence costs are some £851m/week, NHS and pensions are an awful lot more, sorry but I missed the figures on these – typing as it was on.
