Mad ex demands more money

[vetran]

The original bill was Fantasy but TM decided not to bend over, so they've doubled the imaginary bill.

FTFY.

FTFY.

I think we're all now agreed with the new bill at 100 billion, the original bill will seem like a bargain if they can get it.

This is what O'Leary meant when he said everyone would wipe the floor with Britain.

We joined a trading block, and now we've decided to leave we find it's actually an extortion racket. Of course their rhetoric isn't actually directed at the UK, it's aimed at the voters of France, and every other member state which might be contemplating a referendum of their own.

Beyond 2019, we have some spending commitments up to 2020 (potentially our annual net contribution), and possibly some smaller commitments beyond that. The "bill" post 2019 should therefore be somewhere between £10bn and £20bn max. We would need to continue making pension contributions, or offer to "buy back" the pensions for UK MEPs and civil servants. We can deduct any UK assets, and negotiate a proportion of EU assets based on historic UK contributions.
I doubt it will be too long before there is an unofficial boycott of certain EU products - I've already started with the French (no French Brie, wine or croissants from now on).
Italy will be tricky - getting the missus to give up Prosecco will be harder than getting Trump off Twitter.
Germany could be a real problem if any of our kitchen appliances fail between now and the conclusion of discussions.

Buy British! (Unless it's crap, in which case buy something else).

Scotland has been saying this for years. Our oil money has been used to fund failed Tory ideology throughout the decades, failed wars... I demand a refund

FTFY

(I'll let you have that with the alteration - I'm presuming you've been away so long you have forgotten which party leader put us in Iraq and Afghanistan.)

But oh no it's about bl00dy brexit.

Davis DISMISSES EU demand for £92bn Brexit divorce bill | Daily Mail Online






oh dear.

That £92bn is probably pre-tax ;-)

That 92 billion is what the FT have figured out is the bill not the EU. Not an official figure at all so **** knows why everyone keeps banging on about it...



(I have heard that it will in fact be more with daily interest )

The FT was a mouthpiece for the EU throughout the referendum campaign and since. Chances are anything the FT says on the subject of "negotiations" is is at least endorsed by the EU, and it's quite possible they were fed the story to make it seem more credible than it really is.

So by this reckoning everything that the Mail, Express, Telegraph, et. al. who were all, and still are it seems, mouthpieces for the Leave campaign makes everything they say credible?
