    Here's a thought, why not just refuse to pay? We're leaving the racket, no-one will mind...

      It's an option. Maybe you should let the British Steel board know your solution and see what they think? i'm guessing they won't go with your idea

        By the time they get round to posting the fine we'll have left anyway. Oh, hang on...

          The UK will follow the same rules as we have already in the EU ..... so, in or out, the requirements on companies like British Steel will be (rightly) the same. Or do you think we shouldn't have environmental laws?

            Environmental laws are one thing. A racket whereby companies simply pay millions into the EU coffers for the right to carry on as before doesn't seem, er, right.

              It does if you are a brainwashed Bremainer with the brains of a Twix bar!

                So what you believe is .... if the 'racket' is run by the EU it's bad, but if the same 'racket' is run by the UK government it's ok? There is brainwashing here, but it's you that's under the influence little spuddy

                  That ought to be the motto of the Bremain Party.

                  Patronising, condescending, codswallop, twisted and constructed in a desperate attempt to try and convince themselves that their flawed logic somehow holds water.

                  You have yet to figure out just what it is that YOU personally believe, other than whatever your virtue-signalling leftie dimwit facebook group tell you.

                  Content yourself in the knowledge that those of us that are older and wiser don't need to have our opinions slavishly dictated to us.

                    You need to add that to the Brexit jokes section pal. Best one today.

                    If Brexit has taught us one thing it's :: Older != Wiser
