Originally posted by AtW View PostIf you are implying here USSR, then you are wrong - that block was based on force, not voluntary joining with equal rights like it is in the EU.

Originally posted by Mordac View PostVoluntary joining, but not voluntary leaving - not without paying billions in a great extortion racket, anyway...(and yes, I was referring to the USSR)
Now leaving USSR was in theory possible, but in practice wasn't - member states were occupied and those who dreamed of independence were routinely killed in GULAGs.
Hence, comparing EU with USSR is a false analogy used by people who got no clue, also knows as Brexiters.Comment

Originally posted by AtW View PostPaying few years worth of AGREED contributions isn't an unreasonable ask, it's not like they ask 100 years worth of payments for nothing - the money that would go to EU could be used to secure transition period for the same duration. If leaving EU is so important then why resist few years of payments? It's bonkers this is a problem given how important it is to secure good deal.

Originally posted by Mordac View PostThe current budget period ends in 2020, so we are not obliged to pay anything beyond then. So how they manage to go from 1 years contribution (2019-2020) to "£20bn being not even halfway there" (Macron) is anyone's guess, but extortion is a pretty good place to start.
Let's say they want £50 bln in total, of which at least half is hard to dispute, so the question is - why the FOOK antagonize them given that it's up to EU to offer good deal? If they FEEL that they did not get paid enough, then they would be VERY interested in getting their money back (plus more) via worse deal.
They are holding ALL the cards, May practically has to beg them now - what a humiliation!Comment

Originally posted by AtW View PostSome obligations such as pensions are extending well into the future, does not seems unreasonable to me to ask for it.

Originally posted by WTFH View PostYes, it is in the EU interest and the UK's interest.
If the UK chooses to apply WTO rules and then puts a tariff on car imports, that applies to all cars, not just ones from the EU
but nevertheless,
cars are not the only motor vehicles on the road,
what about,
Trucks and Vans
These are used in the supply chain, they add overhead to the price of household living, what percentage of the trucks and trailers, and vans on the road are made in the UK and what percentage are made in Europe ? WTO tariffs will apply to these too, this will push up household living costs
Why stop there, what about tractors, forklifts ?
These WTO rules are going to have a nice impact on the household budgets of Britain's hard working families
