We are one of the very few net contributors to the EU - ie, we pay more in than we get out. So it doesn't matter what grants they've awarded the UK for various "improvements", we're losing out massively on this deal.
One good thing Thatcher did was to handbag the other EU leaders into giving us a sizeable rebate to make up for the fact that we're paying through the nose to be in this rotten, corrupt club. Unfortunately, that odious creature, Blair (who doubtless you voted for), gave away a considerable portion of that rebate in return for vague promises on CAP reform which naturally have never been kept.
