Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Joey66]

Ffs Joe, you've been told this soooooooooo many times. That 'divorce bill' you keep prattling on about is the scale of the financial commitments Britain has signed up to as a member of the EU. It's not money that was found down the back of the sofa that we just fancy handing over willy nilly.

Please (please, please) stop repeating this, it's making you look incredibly silly.

If we leave on a no deal in March we owe them nothing as for the £39 billion I googled it and it's misleading what you have posted......
How about our share of a divorce bill over the last 45 years where we are and always been in deficit every year ?....
So if you divorce your wife she gets everything no so that link is inaccurate, so stop using the rhetoric of trying to make me an outer and you a remainer think that you are so superior you are not ok!
I could google and have no one knows how to break that 39 billion figure down, and I have yet to see our spineless MPs just accept it without explanation the legal framework for Mays proposed divorce has got lost the white paper was supposed to be produced a month ago Bruce not googled.......

And our global credit rating tanks.

Fixed.

TBF (and not to sound like a conspiracy theorist) but its remarkable how little has been spent on Brexit - very few additional border personnel (indeed I think we are still down on pre-2010), very few additional HM Customs or HMRC people to deal with the extra work (ditto), no new Fishery Protection vessels nor any extra money for the Royal Navy to "control our own waters" again, the technological solution to the border in NI is still not even a pipe dream and even "normal" Government procurement (like the contract to build and run the recently announced new private prisons) is still being announced in the Official Journal of the EU given though we are all told we are about to leave.

...i’m an ex-Civil Servant and I can tell you there will have been £millions of public monies paid to Consultants/Contracters and Government employees in all Departments in readiness for this. It really doesn’t bear thinking about when you add in salaries, expenses, travel etc.

 

[roydo]

Fixed.

Its fine at the moment.

Yes like it did they predicted it would after we dared to vote no deal - how would the EU economy not suffer it's a two way street......

Oh I agree they'll have paid out millions in payments to consultants and contractors; my point was that there has been almost capacity created to deal with the post-Brexit age. It is as if in March 2012 there was no Olympic venues, traffic plan or ticket sales but Wenlock and Mandeville had been sorted out.

[Jib in lad]

No it just showed you the history of our trading before Ted Heath blundered his way into the common market at a heavy cost... for something we had better....... it was just a debate , and ideas.......

I have no idea if any of that is true but I will take your word for it.

Thought we were downgraded a couple of years ago?

We need a title though @COYBL25

The point is when two sides are hurting, there will be a common will to find a better solution.

It's always what the UK will lose, what about what the EU will lose.

May's deal will get voted down anyway, then lets say to the EU sorry but no thinks, and let them sweat on it for a change.

Sweat on what?

This is like refusing a life belt when you are bobbing in the Mersey.

I’ve already floated a couple :

“ Joeys Surgery “ - like when the MPs meet constituents, who can then moan at them / ask them questions on topical stuff.

Or

“ Joeys Drop In “ - Drop in and have a chat.

What do you reckon ?
