Reply to: Didn't want to be in their stupid club anyway

It is an unusual and spiteful approach from the EU, considering they think they want €60bn from us. This is the bad deal for which no deal would be better if they think the UK would agree to make a large payment without anything in return.

It is also proof that the EU has nothing to offer its member states and so they need to resort to bully boy tactics. "Leave or terrible things" rather than "here are positive reasons to stay". No wonder we voted to leave.

Oh come on off of your high horse, Theresa May has made it clear that if the EU don't cave in to her ridiculous demands for a quickfire pro-corporate trade deal, the Tory government will set about turning the UK into a low-skill, low-tech, low-wage, low-welfare, low-regulation corporate tax haven in retaliation.

It's the diplomatic equivalent of a toddler shrieking that if they don't get the whole tub of ice cream they'll smash up their own bedroom, and then the adults will all be sorry.

Quite true, snowflake Leavers denying their stupidity and the consequences of it:

Is it still joining?



Were you one of those taken in by this lie?

[PurpleGorilla]

Those EU meanies are showing exactly why we don't want to be in their stupid club anyway! So there!

Surely the EU Crown Jewels are in Brussels and Strasbourg?

[darmstadt]

And they're running scared with a continuation of lying and scaremongering...

[WTFH]

Of course I do. But there is agreement on what they are getting for that rate. I'm not sure anyone would give me a contract if I said "Here is my rate. We'll agree on what I'll actually do for that money after you agree to pay it".

Are you saying that you only agree a contract after every individual piece of work has been detailed to you precisely? Because if you do, then that sounds like supervision and direction.

[chopper]

don't you sort out your rate before starting on a contract?

Of course I do. But there is agreement on what they are getting for that rate. I'm not sure anyone would give me a contract if I said "Here is my rate. We'll agree on what I'll actually do for that money after you agree to pay it".

[Mordac]

I reckon you actually believe that.

Well, since most of it is true...
I'd be interested to hear which bit you disagree with. No, on second thoughts, I'm not sure I would.

[Mordac]

You're joking, right?

You treated the EU so seriously you sent them Farage and the kippers as your representatives in their parliament, who spent the entire time they were there (if they bothered to turn up) insulting them. After forty years of English culture which mostly consists of repeating "two World Wars and one World Cup" at them ad nauseum, they're glad to see the back of you.

It's a wonder the UK won as many concessions as it did, when each time you gains another one you still moaned and whinged about it. "Whinging bloody Poms" suits you well.

Well for starters, the voting system for the European Parliament "sent them Farage" and a few other UKIP representatives. That's simply what you get with PR. Some fringe loonies (on all sides) are bound to get in. Why do you think the Lib Dems are so keen on it?
And if they're truly "glad to see the back of us", that makes me happy, because I'm twice as glad to see the back of them.

To be fair before we sent UKIP we did send over serious politicians.

They were never that bothered about having us as members, we were always the one who were made to take our shoes off, not say anything, and make sure we paid our subs on time. They'll miss us when we're gone. Well, the Germans will, since they will have to pick up our share of the tab. Not that Merkel gives a toss, she's got an election to lose.

The agencies can leave. I was referring to the bit about no trade talks.

Well the EU are only asking for certain items to be cleared up before they begin, don't you sort out your rate before starting on a contract? Anyway, it has to be paid otherwise Farage and the rest of the kipper cretins won't get their EU pensions
