The difference is that, first, you get 100% back and not 50% (a tiny detail...), and second, you elect UK government and MPs... you don't elect the "Commissioners" in Brussels, you can decide what and where to spend money on.

But if you have no problem with that then contact me by email, for your own good, i'd suggest that your spending go through me first, give me your money and I'll fund you in the "optimal" way, for your own good. ;)
