If owning a blue passport is a better life, then yeah, go Brexit!

[ngsobob]

The only way to a better life, particularly for the young, is to stay in the EU.

[Quickenthetempo]

No one gets a better life from Brexit

My Law firm is raking it in.

My Law firm is raking it in.

On what, particularly?

I hope that what ever mental injury you have there's a diagnosis and treatment for it.

It looks like you are making light of mental illness which is at odds with some of your previous posts.

Try that with your mortgage. Sell your house and then try to strike a deal with the bank to pay off your mortgage cheaper than if you'd just continued to pay it every month. Then if they don't come back with a deal you like just break off negotiations and declare that you owe nothing. Report back on how that works out for you.

You can come up with as many analogies as you want, legally we owe nothing.

[claretandy]

No, we owe what we'd previously committed to pay.

again, legally we owe nothing.

[Quickenthetempo]

On what, particularly?

Everything dragging on so much. I actually owe you remainers a pint or two.

Them £500 an hours mount up quickly.

This is massive news. Someone ought to tell Theresa May.

". On the basis of the legal opinions we have considered we conclude
that, as a matter of EU law, Article 50 TEU allows the UK to leave the
EU without being liable for outstanding financial obligations under
the EU budget and related financial instruments, unless a withdrawal
agreement is concluded which resolves this issue."

This is the conclusion from the house of Lords report which spoke to EU experts and Legal experts.

The Lords Subcommittee took the view of one expert out of three, the other two arguing against. It could only happen under a 'walk away' and member states would have plenty of opportunity to seek remedial action. For starters, there'sd be no trade deal under we coughed up. It is fanciful but I can see it's comforting for those who deny reality:

"When Article 50 provides that the treaty “ceases to apply”, it refers to new obligations arising out of the treaty, but not to vested rights that were created while the UK was a party, including its financial commitments. I think this interpretation of Article 50 is the most natural reading of it. The UK cannot escape its obligations merely by walking away." (Infacts)

Correction:

For starters, there'd be no trade deal until we coughed up.

Which posts?

[HatfieldClaret]

Do some reading on Ireland Hatfied ffs.

C'mon Lancaster (FFS), putting the rights or wrongs of Brexit to one side, it's only a problem if the EU want it to be a problem. They refuse to come up with any solutions but just dismiss anything the UK suggests.

[Lancasterclaret]

What have we suggested, apart from The Sun demanding Eire leaves the EU to make it all easier?

[UpTheBeehole]

One way to sort it would be to give Northern Ireland back to the country it belongs to, ie Eire.

[HatfieldClaret]

Fortunately, I don't think the Sun are part of Davis' team.....

[JohnMcGreal]

What have we suggested, apart from The Sun demanding Eire leaves the EU to make it all easier?

We've suggested that we'll leave the EU so we can control our own borders, and the first thing we'll do after we've left is have no border between the UK and the EU.

[ngsobob]

And we can already control our own border but Home Secretary May didn't implement the provisions (three months, no job, return home).

[claretandy]

And we can already control our own border but Home Secretary May didn't implement the provisions (three months, no job, return home).

we can't actually stop people at the border, so no, we can't control our borders

[Lancasterclaret]

Thank God we do such a good job of controlling our non-EU border

[Imploding Turtle]

again, legally we owe nothing.

Ahem!

[Sidney1st]

What are you going ahem about?

Is it because the UK has agreed to pay X amount of billions into the EU as part of the divorce?
