Rejected petition Refuse to pay the extra £17billion demanded by the EU

More details

The EU has changed the calculated amount for previous fees and demanded that the UK immediately pay £17bn as a result of these new calculations. At the same time, France and Germany, the two biggest players in the EU, will get rebates.

We, the people of Britain, demand that the UK government refuse to pay this outrageous amount, or indeed any amount. The EU has no right to change the fees previously paid as the part of the UK's membership of the EU.
