Can We Leave The EU Please?

Reported amount of deficit debt
£80 Billion+

2011
Amount England gave to the EU :
£19 .7 Billion+

2011
Amount England saved with all the nasty budget cuts :
£6.2 Billion-

Percentage of all Alcohol Tax paid in the EU that comes from the UK
57%

2011
Ratio of new jobs given to European and other immigrants :
1:2

2012
Conservative reported UK unemployment figure
2.56 Million+

Amount of Europeans freely migrated into the UK since 2007
15 Million+

Being tied to the EU limits a country from trading freely and fairly.

The country with the richest people (av.) in Europe is also the one with the least ties and bindings to the EU; Switzerland.

WE NEED TO LEAVE, sorry.... thanks, the food was great....

Odd Trains: Extortionate and Unfair Rail Services

SHORT AS

"Whoever... Is this fair?"

Journey A takes 30 mins and travels a distance of 30 miles
Journey B takes 30 mins and travels a distance of 30 miles

Journey A is under more demand, yet has the same train frequency and number of carriages as Journey B, which gets fewer passengers and less demand.

Journey A costs 34 coins to take
Journey B costs 14 coins to take

Does this make sense?
Why and how are these companies allowed to do this?

In 2008, a ticket which could be used to return with within 30 days of purchase, costed
a fifth more than the price of a single fare.
In 2012, a ticket which could be used to return with within 30 days of purchase, costed
the same as two singles.
