lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the most important priority of any budget should be only to spend your own money. Spending someone else’s without their permission is not budgeting, it is theft. British taxpayers are fleeced to the tune of GBP 6.4 billion in direct payments to the EU annually and we are still denied our referendum. Taking that money, without a democratic mandate, is not a victimless crime. Fifty thousand of our pensioners died of cold this winter because they could not afford to heat their own homes. Our soldiers are killed by Taliban bombs because we cannot afford blast-proof vehicles. Thousands of cancer victims are denied expensive life-saving drugs. GBP 6.4 billion would right all those wrongs and still leave change to build eight new hospitals and 50 schools. There should be only one budget priority – slash spending and stop robbing Britain. Our pensioners, soldiers and cancer victims need the money more than the EU. To you, it is a budget. To them, it is a matter of life or death."@en1
