If by 'We' you mean ze germans.... yeah, you do that a lot, you fellas

 

Brexit: Downing Street responds to claims UK will pay a £36bn divorce bill
Sources told The Independent the figure is 'highly speculative and wrong'

Im still saying lets just take the 60 bil euro and give it Scotland and Ireland as structural funds. Lets troll London and surroundings

 

As Scotland does 80% of it's trade with England, (so a lot of will end up coming back down here), I'm liking the thinking

Not gonna be 60Bn though.

3-4 years at our current spend works out to about 30-40 so that might be a goer, depending on what we get in return. If we don't get anything then, to coin a phrase, you can whistle for it

 

lol you tried to move alot of london to frankfurt while we were in europe now we will just allie with your enemies in asia against you.

you are just the next stage in the Holy Roman Empire and I want nothing to do with you.

 

you wont be getting anything like that lol why should we pay you money for stuff we are not going to have access to lol

 

thats the thing these euro idiots want us to pay for stuff that we wont have access to anymore lol just go world trade and tarriff anything german, that should do it as we know the EU was essentially Paid for by Germany and Britain was the Reserve

 

" a lot "

Your nationalists purport to have invented the language. Learn it.

 

I think everyone recognises we will continue to pay for any transition period and, additionally, in those areas in which we continue to cooperate.

The 'let's just go world trade' line, whilst emotionally attractive, is likely to be extremely problematic. I mean, for them as well... but also for us, not least in northern Ireland.

The problem with the EU asking us to pay a 'divorce bill' is that there is no real legal basis for it. Interestingly, there was until the Lisbon treaty when the famous 'Article 50' was introduced. Prior to that it simply wasn't possible to leave the EU as there was no provision in the various treaties so we were stuck with it. Of course, you could simply stop attending the meetings as the French had done previously when they weren't getting their own way, (the so-called 'Empty Chair' period in the 60's), and not paying your dues... but you couldn't actually leave.

Lisbon introduced the provision to leave but nobody thought a large country which paid money IN to the EU would do it. By the looks of it they obviously only envisaged a 'small' country leaving where the issue of a divorce bill wasn't relevant.

So I suspect, for practical considerations, we will continue to pay some money to them BUT, obviously, they'll have to continue to work with us in many areas and not jerk us around on trade and customs.

Don't forget, apart from anything, the money we send them actually goes mostly to the poorer accession countries and southern Europe, a proportion of which comes back to us in the way of additional trade and trained technicians, doctors, nurses, etc. etc. etc.

Although the daily hate-mail loves to portray the money the EU gets as wasted on bureaucracy that's always been bullshit for the troglodytes who are too fecking dumb to know the difference.

 

I shall do as I please as I am a free man, and you certainly do not speak for me, especially in that horrible kill yourself brummie accent.

 

In two years you won't be free to cross the Chunnel any time you wish. Let's dispense with that nonsense.

 

Whenever I see that I think of this:

FOR ALBION

 

Yeah. It sucks. It's an hour long wait or worse at the border.

 

If the guy isn't trying to get himself sacked so he can snipe from the sidelines, (AKA 'Playing to his strengths, he's giving a bloody good impression of someone who is.

BTW, did you notice this in the grauniad from Anushka Asthana?

She's been filling in on the daily politics recently. She's OK but she's not as polished as Neil and JoCo.

A good journo, though.

The speech was broadly welcomed by pro-EU Conservative MPs Ken Clarke and Anna Soubry, but pro-Brexit former cabinet minister Owen Paterson expressed concern about a two-year period during which "we are still bound in by European rules".​

If she's pissing off the pro-brexit crowd and people like Clarke a Soubry are sounding happier it's probably a good sign but the real problem is the tories can't agree between themselves what they want.
