Sigh.

It's perfectly obvious which side is being intransigent and trying to lay down all the rules.

If the UK were to acquiesce in the face of what amounts to blackmail it will only send a message of weakness to those we're going to need to negotiate with when all this is over. May needs to be strong and call the EU's bluff just like Thatcher all those years ago.

They are only fixated on how much money they can take from us before we leave hence the reason they want payment before talks can take place so they can rob us blind and then run for the hills. That is if they even want to talk because money money money seems to be the only thing coming out of their mouth at the minute.

They've also stated we are not entitled to any assets and the figure could be more than the figure stated as it will rise as long as we are a member. The EU is Greedy and they have their own agenda that we were never going to be part of I reckon in the long run

Read that how you will, significant errors would indicate a problem.

Wow it's only taken them until 2007 to get their accounts accurate but, even so, they still include significant errors. That's just great. Well done the EU!!

if you were running a business that would probably be called fraud or at the very least incompetence .

You may have seen​ this morning that the EU, channelling itself through the Financial Times, is now saying that the so-called “divorce bill” for Brexit is €100 billion and is getting tough. Don’t believe the hype.

Putting aside how ridiculous it is for them to think that Brits will now say “Oh no Mrs May you must cancel Brexit!” as opposed to “Sod off!”, there is a simple reason they’ve put it up.

It’s because they know the bill has no legal basis whatsoever, and, I’d hazard a guess, they’ve realised they all but admitted it with their silly briefing games over the weekend and are now in a blind panic about not getting the money.

It's going to cost nothing.

Posting someone else's opinion? No that would be your boring own. Change the bloody record.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !

It very, very obvious that our European cousins have learn't nothing about the British or how we think.

We will not be threatened or bullied and to do so will only strengthen our resolve. They are not being clever They are playing into Theresa Mays hands, and she is capitilising on it with her speech today.

Regardless of political persuasion no British person will take being threatened by Europe, and they would rather display the middle finger than acquiesce to unreasonable demands.

They should take the threat of us walking away in the face of unreasonable demands very seriously because I believe if it came to it May would have the support of the people, rather than bend down and take it in a fashion that Tim Farrons would deem sinful.

And all those remainers and Europhiles, do you not yet see the true EU? We dare defy them and they would rather see us all burn than try and do sensible deal that works for both.

I guarantee if this fails to work it will because of the EU. I hope they see sense and start replacing some of their nonces like Juncker with sensible diplomats.

Exactly what they have done to Greece. The difference is, Greece is small and weak and desperate to stay in the Euro. They are supplicants. We are not. The EU will learn this sooner or later - sadly, they will probably learn it too late.
