Yay, George done good.
We now only have to pay half of the £1.7 million and we can pay it back in two instalments. I believe we don't have to pay it back until next summer now as well. |

It is good to see that the EU does listen and is cooperative and although I don't care for George Osborne, he has talked more conciliatory and sensibly as to this bill unlike his Leader.
Good one. |

Thing is though,
1) We agreed to pay this when we entered the EU. 2) The UK gets 20 billion pounds a year as a result of migration from the EU.

Hmmm... not such a victory, plenty of spin though.

To be fair, part is a half rebate when full amount had to be paid by December 1st.
That is not now the case, as I understood it only half of it is to be paid in 2 stages in 2015 so not all at once. Maybe a bit of spin and also a compromise,this shows that talking and working together is far better than threats of picking up our ball and stopping the game by walking away.

Spin, compromise and whatever else it took, it looks much better from this angle. |

We were still going to have to pay the full 1.7 billion in a few weeks.Now we don't and in fact because of the rebate too,we only have to pay half and in 2 stages later next year. From where I am sitting, a fair bit has been achieved to be fair as you say too. |

I don't think this is any kind of success.Osborne has'nt saved the country any money at all.We would've paid £1.7 Billion and recieved an £850 million rebate anyway?So we have paid exactly what we were going to,£850 million.Nothing has actually been achieved at all.
