How the EU is making a successful Brexit Difficult

[BlasterBates]

The first one is even the EU internally realising they are taking the p1ss, the second is talking about any bill. Try reading it again.

If you don't pay a trumped up bill we will refuse to negotiate on an mutual Brexit or EU citizens rights sounds like extortion to me.

No the EU citizens rights has priority over the bill.

The EU has clearly laid out the priorities and the order of the proceedings. This allows the negotiating partners to focus.

The UK is a bit muddled as they want to negotiate everything at once.

FTFY.

Why should we do everything the lederhosen jackbooted dictators tell us? The UK has its own priorities and order of proceedings.

How can you resolve the border with Ireland without considering the UKs future relationship with the EU at the same time?

So let's walk away.
Don't fancy you and yours chances in a hard Brexit much

I want a hard Brexit, so hard the pips squeak.
Once people have figured out that the UK economy is based in the main on debt-based consumption propped up by a ponzi housing scheme and the whole thing collapses post a hard Brexit, we can start again from ground zero.
Hard times for some, I'll be laughing.

Personally I want a hard brexit. However I think the UK will be fine.

Strange we kept trying to discuss it and the EU refused, then they invented the bill.

You're getting the hang of it

If the UK negotiates with a country that is a tenth the size of the UK then obviously a certain degree of apathy will be evident if the "shrimp" starts to get a bit difficult.

When the negotiations get under way I think you'll find the UK facing a "wall of apathy". As Boris's eyes bulge with rage, most people on the continent won't give a sh*t.

In Germany Brexit is not discussed on talk shows, it only appears very occasionally in the press. Essentially Brexit is Britain's problem.

It's up to Britain to make some sensible suggestions rather than "foaming at the mouth" every time they meet a few EU officials.

EU toughens negotiating position

odd look the give us yer fecking money is top of the list again? How can that be our Bremoaners said citizen's rights were top? Must be some mishtake.

The latest draft, which has undergone revisions by envoys from the EU’s 27 national governments and is scheduled to be approved by member states on Monday, adds that the ECJ should guarantee the implementation of the Brexit deal. It also emphasizes that discussions about future trade in services will not start until there’s been progress on the U.K.’s financial contributions, Ireland and the rights of EU citizens in the U.K. and British nationals living in the EU.

Indeed there is, so lets look at what the EU actually states on its website:

European Council (Art. 50) guidelines for Brexit negotiations - Consilium

lo and behold, point 1 in the first phase:

To that effect, the first phase of negotiations will aim to:

provide as much clarity and legal certainty as possible to citizens, businesses, stakeholders and international partners on the immediate effects of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the Union;

"Money" is the second point.
