Err..that's what I said.

but thanks to Graham Jones, and our Internationalist local councillors, we'll always be able to fall back on our friends in the European Union for support.
I wonder if GJ or anyone else could provide a list of EU supported schemes/developments/investments or whatever in Hyndburn over the last twenty years or so? The nearest scheme that I recall was a development (exactly what sort, I don't know) by Eanam in Blackburn. There was a big sign there for several years with words to the effect "EU funded as part of the Mersey Basin Redevelopment".

I can't think of 'owt. However, a quick back-of-the-envelope calculation gives me a figure of approaching 2000 quid for every man woman and child in the borough as being their cost of EU membership over the same period.

And jobs to show for it........none.
