  • Sky are reporting we are bending over and giving the EU at least 20 billion euros post Brexit.

    Don't forget that when your relatives are dying on trollies this winter in NHS hospitals.

    Get yourself some private health insurance - whether you're remainers or leavers.

    The EU are robbers.
    Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.
  • That's 10 bilion per year for 2 years after we leave.

    Say what?

    Who cares that everyone is dying here in the uk for lac of f health care - the EU commissionaires need their fix.

    Nuts.

    I guess some might see it as a positive - 20 billion and we are shut of them ....

    Sorry, I thought that it was solely Nigel Farage's beer tab.

    At £20bn I'm not surprised we can't afford to pay it in one go :)

  • 20 billion versus 100 billion - is that a win ?


    Bunch of robbers.

    The clock really is ticking and the government have to agree an approach. Don't let yourself think it's all too difficult because there's a media bubble.

    Until the German elections are over. There'll be no further progress. Media has to fill it's airtime with something. Speculation is valueless.

    You can only borrow if someone is willing to lend and the banks aren't doing much of that.

    UK borrowers owe around £60 billion financing cars alone. No bubble?

    Today it's what Merkel says goes. Tomorrow you'll be saying it's impossible for 27 nations to agree. Make your mind up.

    Today it's bored media making stuff up. Yesterday it was healthy open debate in government. Make your mind up.

    Do you mean that they rent them for three years and then hand them back?

    So you have a different opinion to me - I think I'll cope.

    Looked them up - just a couple of journos from Sky. I must be living under a rock.

    You should be more confident about arguing your opinions rather than seeking the comfort of a journo that agrees with you.
    Your preferred residence is duly noted. ;)
    Though perhaps you could argue your own opinions more convincingly if you had a wider knowledge base to begin with; it's not as if Sky are exactly .......... what was your description of my reading ........... ah yes, a "ropey website", is it?

    If you did indeed read more and perhaps spent less time purely baiting others you might find (as I do) something approaching a middle ground in what is being said rather than espousing your own unimaginatively selective media-based blurb.
    Just a wild guess here but I foresee a negative response soon winging it's way onto this thread.

    ETA - quelle surprise!
