Co 2

It's probably a much overlooked function of the EU to level up. (now where have I heard that before!) You only have to look at the progress countries like Spain have made in the last 30 years in terms of infrastructure much of it financed by the EU and us of course as we were always a net contributor being one of the richer countries in Europe. I am sure the same is currently happening in the old Eastern Block countries? The spread of EU investment in the UK covers many projects from providing finance for Crossrail to the restoration of the Roman Baths in Buxton I notice when we were last there. I have heard complaints from people in the UK that EU money has been spent of the wrong type of projects but I can't imagine any agreement to what and where to finance was anything other than a local decision? I imagine the EU had many pots of money which could be used, for example transport infrastructure, culture, sports and wellbeing and probably many more. All that will disappear as current projects are completed and it remains to be seen whether the current Government will be disposed to finance similar projects!

Projects that had EU funding did not, as far a I recall, state what percentage of the project costs was funded by EU

Takethe dog.  Easily said for you and me with a disposable income but to feed the ever increasing world population intensive food production in every form is reality.

As I said-backhanders if you know the right dodgy people who will happily bend the rules for ‘family’

The most disadvantaged regions of the UK received the biggest share of the EU funding, those very regions also voted to leave the EU, it was dubbed-‘brexiting yourself in the foot’🤷🏻‍♂️

Rocky= it was seeing how the EU funds were wasted. No lasting benefit, only ego projects

On Monday I ordered 2 items from Cannock Caravans. 1 Was delivered this afternoon  from Yodal, 10 minutes later the other one was delivered from Yodal. That is double the co2 emissions than if 1 van had delivered the 2.

No problem, I like all the posts I support without considering a posters politics nor style or subject-I post from the heart. I personally agree with your statement we are slipping into becoming a 3rd World country, care for the disadvantaged, infrastructure, living wage, respect. I watched a Vanlifers video last night traveling over Scandinavia & they pointed out the cleanliness, the attitude of the folk they met, the organisation & had to make unfavourable comparisons with the UK, I agreed with them wholly. This hasn’t happened in the last 10years it’s been going on for centuries, this Country gave the World Technology, Language, Science discoveries & has since been going backwards. No one Party is responsible they are all guilty. They now preside over a broken nation drifting back to the 1800’s in attitudes to its citizens. 

a notice points out who paid for them you guessed it a big blue circle

The notice means only that the EU contributed towards a project. I consider that (in my opinion) attitudes amongst people have deteriorated in the last 30 years since EEC became EU but I do not see a direct connection. Many of our grand parents also starved at times David.
