    If it's things like pension contributions for UK staff who have worked and have retired then I don't see continuing to fund it is an issue.

    It's not like the UK would be handing over a single lump sum anyway. Far more likely it would be paid over 10 - 20 years.

    My starting position would be that since we've paid for significant parts of the EU infrastructure, for example the EU Headquarters in Brussels we'll be keeping a portion of it.

    Then I'd turn it into a giant Weatherspoons.
    Darn beat me to it, had the same idea 20 minutes later in the other thread.

    You've not seen your bill for leaving the UK yet. You've had your hand in the pot enough, you can share the overdraft.

    started a topic Regurgitating old news

    Regurgitating old news

    Seems to be a common Remnant theme. Currently popular are chlorinated chicken plus a £50bn exit fee.

    The good news is that junker said it was £500bn the other day. So a decrease of 90%. Keep it coming.

Working...
