I wouldn’t be surprised.

£150 billion a year for what the EUSSR costs the UK is probably accurate. I can’t seem to post the link: it just deletes my draft, but here it is:-
On leaving, I think something like a PPI-claim will be instituted. We’ll get back the entirety of the monies, plus interest, in a way that would “place us in a financial position like that as if we had not signed up in the first place.”
The really will have to offer Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy on eBay as a “buy it now” for £4.99. It’s the only way we’ll ever earn the money back.

Well, much as I dislike the EU, this looks dubious to me. Talk of a “10% output shortfall” looks like a comparison to a suspicously Keynesian hypohethical aggregate. I can’t find the actual pamphlet (is it online somewhere) but figures like this are easy to “estimate” i.e. make up. Much harder to prove.
Whatever the details – the European Union is an extra layer of government (on top of all the other layers). No free market person (let alone full libertarian) should support the E.U.
The Democratic-People’s-English Revolutionary-Liberalist-Party will simply text Brussels that we have left, and that we are sending an invoice for back-pay. We may not actually enforce payment of these reparations for a few days, to see what the response to our bill will be first.
The bill, of course, will be enormous. We’ll start with £150 billion per year for 41 years, with compound interest, as an ingoing position.
