Forget about the UK. Why do actual EU countries get so much less?!

EDIT: The downvoters in the comments below really show you can't have a normal conversation when Israel is involved. There's some militant people with an agenda in the comments whenever that country's name is dropped here.

Because the local politicians can't steal it with impunity so they don't bother with it. Ditto with other EU funds.
