Why should the UK taxpayer have to cough up billions (magicked from where?) to save another EU country, who got their referendum and agreed to the integration? We never got a referendum - our government is implementing an austerity package, cutting back on billions, thanks to Labour's profligacy, and we shall have to suffer enormously because of this, without the Irish burden on top.
