The autocorrection on here is crap and instead of coming up with suitable possibilities comes up with bizarre unrelated words. Maybe it read your mind.

I think the figure you're thinking of was the 350 million a week figure (18bn a year) that was talked about in relation to the NHS. Which is closer to the real figure but doesn't factor in the EU money that is spent in the UK (4 or 5 billio, which brings the real fee down to 13bn).

Like I said, beyond that it depends on whether you believe that 13bn is then "money down the drain" or if you believe that membership brings in more than 13bn in trade revenue / other areas, which it almost certainly does. There's no real chance that Brexit will save us money in instant cash terms.
