Reply to: The Remainers may know this

At least he now has the insight to call it a 'simple question'.

There is no such thing. Though there are some simple people. Like you.

I recently heard that the EU changed the exit rules just after Article 50 was invoked.

Any EU country wishing to leave, as the UK is, now needs the unanimous consent of every other EU country.

Is this true? Has the EU effectively sealed the exit, so all other EU countries are trapped with no possibility of escape?

I think you made up this on purpose to provoke.

Word goes Tory govt is still counting all the profits from brexit

Even by your standards, the question was imbecilic.

It's telling that someone asking a simple question, as I did in starting this thread, gets the same stick from Remainers as if I had been deliberately propagating fake news.

If a leaver posts that the sun will rise in the morning and a remainer is not around to read it, are they still wrong?

It's an academic question, because Remainers are always around, obsessively waiting for Brexit posts or snippets of "bad news" they can pounce on!

CUK seems to have 3 types of posters. Remainers, leavers and AndyW.

Make no mistake, anything that appears in the press (British or German - and that's no coincidence) has come straight from Juncker's team, most likely from the German bloke who is Juncker's right hand man. And no, I can't be arsed to look his name up either. I'll call him "Martin the crazy Kraut" for now. How's that?

I can't prove it, but a combination of "EU sources" and an EU think-tank whose name I shamefully can't remember with their dabs all over it give the game away somewhat (declaration - I know people in the journo world, and they openly refer to the FT as the mouthpiece of the EU).

Nope, still absolute bollocks...

[Mordac]

You basically just explained your whole existence...Now where is this proof that Juncker leaked it or are your like the rest of the crazies and make tulip up and then believe it? Put up or shut up

It was leaked to the FT by the EU. Your ball...

No it wasn't. The FT did their own calculations based on various scenarios that the EU could use but haven't committed to yet, and came up with a range of figures from the estimate £60bn originally quoted to £113bn which is the headline they ran with.

Estimates of Britain’s Brexit bill are highly variable because they include assumptions on Britain’s exit date, its proper share of contributions, UK receipts such as its budget rebate or EU investment spending, and the type of liabilities it is expected to honour. European diplomats consider this flexibility as helpful in reaching a deal.

[darmstadt]

Oh I see, in the absence of an intelligent contribution you resort to the incontinence gags. Hilarious, I'm sure.
You really should think about growing up, or preferably shutting up. Or you could move back to the UK, and then you'd have the right to an opinion. Until then, remember, opinions are just like arseholes. Everyone has one, but most of us don't give a sh*t about anyone else's.

[DimPrawn]

And which right wing post truth media outlet did you read that on?

Trump tweeted it.

[Mordac]

Would that be the same type of leak that stains your underwear brown?

Just some paranoid right wing fake news.
