It would seem Juncker is determined to make this a nasty process

Yes, they want 100bn (£100,000,000,000) of them from us 'irrelevant' British apparently.
What's the betting they try to up the ante further by claiming that it's the old British billions* they're demanding. 
* 1 GB billion = 1,000,000,000,000
================================================== =============
I'm wondering when Juncker's going to blame Brexit for this too:

The hedge fund manager may not lose too much sleep over the paper losses however - he still has around £775m in the bank.

To be fair, I (and probably most others) thought that the economy would slump.....and it may yet happen

Have I got this right? He made a bet against what he believed in?
If I understood that right, the word 'fool' comes to mind.

He believed the economy would suffer swiftly after a favourable Brexit vote so to give him his due, he acted on his beliefs. The twist in the tale was that he was pro-Brexit.

That's the way I read it. I voted to leave even though I was expecting to be financially poorer for it (and may yet be).

But he is a Hedge Fund Manager- his job is to hedge against these sort of things....

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
€100bn Brexit bill is ‘legally impossible’ to enforce, European Commission’s own lawyers admit
sad news for those trying to undermine the UK

Anyway, I bet the armies of lawyers feasting on all this won't have any problem enforcing their hefty bill for all the work they're going to have to do unravelling the complicated matters other lawyers put in place.

I've not seen anyone on this forum claim that the UK will have to pay 100bn in Euros or Sterling.

But maybe a few seeming to get a little excited about the prospect of it though, because it suits their negative Brexit agenda? I'm probably wrong though

Nah, they mentioned it because they were implying we wouldn't have to pay it at all...
