Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostThe UK parliament could in any case pass a law stating that no funds are owed or to be paid to the EU. I wonder if the credit rating agencies would take a negative view.
But this is just pre-negotiation talk. Last week the drunkard Juncker was strutting around saying that the UK would have to pay a "Salty" bill. The UK has come back and said "Legally we don't".
So now we know where both parties are starting from.Comment
