Brexit divorce bill (part 94) - I'd like to know...

[WTFH]

Why not produce some and then we can judge? As of now your predictable hot-air is getting tiresome.

HTH

Fact: Lies are being spread by people who think Brexit is a great idea, and when they are confronted, they are unable to back up their claims, instead they either change the subject when challenged or ignore the challenges, choosing instead to go to their safe place in the Daily Mail.

Can you please provide a link to evidence that the EU has demanded €100bn.
This figure is much reported by Brexiters, but never with a source.

I've only ever seen it from the financial times - and in Euros:

"It comes after EU Brexit negotiators were left “flabbergasted” on Wednesday after their British counterparts launched a legal deconstruction of the so-called “Brexit bill” yesterday as the Brussels talks headed for an increasingly acrimonious impasse.

The British side spent three hours launching a painstaking, line-by-line rebuttal of the EU’s demands for €100bn divorce settlement to the barely concealed fury of EU negotiators."

My understanding was that the EU want to agree the formula and then see what the calculation spits out. Seems like a sensible approach, as long as the formula can be worked through line by line by each party.

It's also ironic (or just plain expected) that The Equalizer left out this sentence, which is perhaps poignant:
"Maybe there is no nostalgia but Brexit means Brexit and leaving the single market means leaving the single market.”

Who might say "Brexit means Brexit"? It wouldn't be the EU negotiator would it?
Oh, yes, so it was.

It's becoming obvious with each passing day that a good deal is not the outcome that the government are after.
If they wanted one they wouldn't send Davies, a man who couldn't run a whelk stall.
So you Brexshitters will eventually get what you deserve. I hope so anyway.

Brexsh*t Bombshell

Not only will the UK be expected to pay the 100 billion divorce bill, it will have to continue to contribute during the transition.

Makes sense to me. If you decide to leave a hotel, you'll have a bill to settle. If you want to stay on for two extra nights then that will be two more nights' room rate.

Depends if there is a transitional deal of course. If this was not obvious to the UK negotiating team, then things are very serious. It is only a bombshell to the cretinocracy.

Gotta love the way that Bremainers try and come across all knowledgeable about the machinations of the separation deal when they couldn't even predict the referendum result.

As always, it is best to just let them aimlessly bump their gums while the process irrevocably chugs on irrespective of their anguished posturing.

The ex-pats will be pleased to hear that the two parties have agreed to continue the EHIC scheme and that UK citizens have the right to set-up and manage a business in their member state of residence.
