..... So, as I predicted (along with many others admittedly) - we're getting closer to the 50 billion or so. But, this isn't a negotiating chip for trade discussions - as far as EU is concerned these are outstanding UK obligations - and not connected to trade, other than if we don't pay up, the EU are not even taking about trade. EU are rigid, not blackmail - if its "calculated" to be £3.50 or £300 billion it doesn't matter that's what they expect us to pay, and we will. But..............
There is going to be consternation when we commit the money and still no trade talks because of the Irish Border question. This will be the major stumbling block - way more difficult than a few billion here and there. The Irish (who are over-playing their hand, but have a premature but committed stance) will not accept a physical border and will veto any further talks until sorted, the DUP wont countenance any different arrangement for NI over rest of UK (and have the Tories over a barrel), and no technology exists that will meet a "frictionless" border. Sort that out!! "Divorce bill" is easy compared to this..........and each party and everyone knows this - the elephant in the room if there ever was one. |

As a citizen of one of these countries i don't recall being asked to support NI over anything in particular and can't think of what this could be? |

The apparent weakness of our current government in dealing with the EU really ticks me off, Britain should be taking a far tougher stance with those corrupt bullies.

At last its dawning on people. When the EU say its 50 billion euro - its 50 billion euro. Guess what? 50 billion it was.
They understand the political sensitivities in the UK and haven't publicised the other 30-40 billion which will be paid for years and years for pensions etc. (including Nigel I daresay  ).• Now, next thing - if you want planes to fly - you must abide by EU aviation rules - ECJ rules in effect. Guess what will happen? • You want a free trade deal with us? ECJ rules please. Guess what will happen? The end game - abide by the rules and have no say in matters (which we used to have, we invented the single market to begin with!!!). By the way that will cost you all told by time its finished 100 odd billion. Plus your annual contributions to trade with. Thanks, pleasure doing business with you. Wait and see. |
