Guys I have an idea.

How about trigger your own personal article 50 by doing something irreversible next wednesday without really any idea why or how you're going to do it?


Here's an idea, you pack your bags and move over to the rest of the Eu, clearly you hate this country and want it to be part of a federal Europe ,so what will you miss?

Here is a good example for the negotiations. The UK will agree on whatever the EU proposes, but will spin it as great win over the "bad" EU back home.

This article is just a stupid spin for deluded brexshitters.

The facts are: the EU never said they want £50 bln.

They want the UK to meet its obligations.

Which Davis cited in the article is agreeing: "Mr Davis said the UK would meet its obligations - but he did not expect to see "that sort of money change hands".

Which is fine that is exactly what the EU want and ever said: the UK to sign that it will honour its commitments in principle and than the experts to do the math.

Did I just have said experts? Who would have thought that eh?

Speaking about experts, here is something you can think about:

Extra customs checks could push up the cost of imported goods even if Britain signs a free trade deal with the EU, according to a leaked government document.

Senior officials at HM Revenue & Customs warned that prices could rise by as much as 24% even with free trade deal.

We could, of course, buy less EU goods if they hike the prices.

I've just replaced my TV system - South Korean TV, Japanese AV Receiver and British speakers. Japanese Blu-Ray, SK and US Freesat boxes

Japanese bike

Turkish Fridge and Freezer.

South Korean oven

I do have a German hob and a French car (the car was bought used though).

I don't drink wine.

I could quite easily not buy EU goods if they were too expensive.

And regarding how much we owe: remind me again - when were the accounts last audited?

Quick, Val, let Sharia May know. If she's in full possession of the facts, she might not trigger Article 50 tomorrow.

Trigger, trigger, trigger.

I read something at the weekend that indicates the World Trade Organisation rules would let the UK trade under current conditions for up to 10 years without any new agreements - perhaps not such a cliff edge after all.

Of course the WTO does not cover immigration so they can all FRO

Thumbs Up

Take a look at the labels on fruit and veg in the supermarkets. They're grown in places like Egypt and Guatemala, its astonishing. Do we import these via some exclusive EU deal, I wonder? Or perhaps they're distributed from a central EU location which we'd have to pay to use? Or would nothing change in this respect? Serious question.

Even if you did drink wine, there's lots of choice for non EU. Australian, Chilean, American and Argentinian for starters.

Stop drinking European beer and drink British ale.

Currently winging its way to one of the many EU Presidents - the one so unpopular that his own country voted against his re-coronation.

Got any last minute reasons why this must not happen? For the avoidance of doubt: your feelings are not an argument.

Does Val need a hand packing his/her's bags today?

Loose lips sink ships, there's no room for back peddlers now, this is the direction we're taking

You lie lie lie.

https://uk.businessinsider.com/eu-michel-barnier-tells-britain-to-pay-fourty-nine-billion-brexit-bill-2017-2

Why exactly , have we got any obligations, for up to 50 billion, when we get back about 8 billion a year? , at the most that's 20 billion we'll be paying in to the Eu in the next few years as we are set to remain there, so where;'s the other 30 billion come from? this what negotiations are about, you set a number out there, and the work back from it.

Long term projects, EUrocrat pensions. The Robber Barons have come to expect a certain standard of living.

While it would be nice to imagine our "negotiations" consisting of rustling a copy of The Spectator until the Brussels blustering turns to begging, it's important to bear in mind that Sharia's not spending her money.

Her goal will be to buy herself a legacy (in lieu of children) at any cost - to us.

They can get fooked, they know we've been paying a ridiculous Net sum in for years

This is a fucking minuscule matter though, the sort of matter cretins such as Val will pickup on every time, just wait until the real nitty gritty starts on trade and customs regulation, the virtue signalling talking heads won't have a word to say on it, unless they're prepared to educate themselves on the eu, which they're not.
