I'm pissed off that I indirectly fund the EU's bloated, inefficient, corrupt, anti-democratic, outdated, unfair, illogical, counterproductive, usurptive functions as it is.
What the EU conveniently forgets is that it is, first and foremost, a political organisation. Ordering me to pay tax to it directly is about as fair as asking me to pay tax to support the Labour party. If this levy goes ahead, how can we be sure that the EU won't start taxing us directly to support its vile fisheries policy? Or its absurd defence pretensions? Or its attempts to brainwash every child in Europe into thinking that the EU - and not their home nation - is something to be proud of?
