Will they take it to the inter-stellar court?

Or will they call in the galaxy bailiffs and take away Wales or something?

Theresa May hails ‘successful EU renegotiation’ after agreeing to hand over Wales

They’ll cry, and huff a bit.

And then one of the member states will veto any trade agreement we try to negotiate.

We seem to be forgetting that exiting the EU is not the end, it’s only the beginning of a long process, and we’re burning as many bridges as we can to get to 29 March without realising that we need to cross those same bridges many times more in the next few years.

The WTO, as the EU is recognised as a trading block and the UK would have reneged on its commitments as part of that trading block. That might mean the EU would be allowed to charge punitive tariffs but the UK couldn't respond.

The Brexiteers keep banging on about the WTO but I suspect they will fall out with it before too long.

"We shall go on to the end of March. We shall fight in France, we shall fight in Sainsburys and Aldi, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength at Calais, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight at the petrol stations, we shall fight on the airports, we shall fight in the football stadium and in the streets, we shall fight in Narnia; we shall never surrender,"

This is the full quote

Will it beat the 1976 IMF record? The problem is then the UK wouldn't be able to join the EU as they would be considered high risk...

Not a problem...

Is that why we're having to pay the extra £39bn? I didn't realise PC's dole claims would be so high.

12 kids and hyperinflation are a perfect storm.

High risk is known risk.

Backstabbing is unacceptable risk

Perfidious Albion.

Call in the IMF and declare bankrupcy

It does not take much to wind them up...

[meridian]

Not quite. It’s for 2019 only, requires agreement from the U.K., and provides that certain benefits would also be derived even if there is no deal.

But the headline will wind the gammons up.
