So speaketh the supposed voice of reason.
:rotfl:

Until senior Eurocrats and indeed the remaining 27 member states agree, there will be no payment of any kind agreed.
Indeed is this not still a major sticking point following the latest round of so-called "negotiations"?
So no, "we" can "know" nothing.
Suspect, yes; know, no.

So until something is agreed it isn't? Thanks.

I look forward to catching up with you in a few years when a deal has been signed off and we can discuss it.

In the meantime I'm more than happy to keep discussing what might happen and think I'll cope knowing that until a future event takes place it hasn't.

Another example of UK "freedom" whilst an EU member:
"Brexit: European Commission investigating sharp rise in detention and deportation of EU citizens from UK"

A Home Office spokesperson said: “We have toughened our response to foreign nationals who abuse our hospitality by committing crimes in the UK.
“In addition, those who are encountered sleeping rough may not have a right to reside in the UK and be liable for removal. No one should come to the UK with the intention of sleeping rough.”

Around and around we go, where we stop ...........

You are the one who said "we all know".
That is wrong - on so many levels too, despite your ping-pong-like meaningless retorts.

How the Catalonian referendum will go is anyone's guess - but they are determined!

The ballot papers contain just one question: "Do you want Catalonia to become an independent state in the form of a republic?" There are two boxes: Yes or No.

There's a handy ignore function you could use which would allow you to continue with the 'pings' and not have to see the 'pongs'.

Quite so.
Feel free to make use of it.

Here's more for you not to believe:

“What I have is a cabinet that is united in the mission of this government ... and agreed on the approach that we took in Florence,” May said about a speech she made in Italy last month to try to kick-start Brexit talks that had all but stalled.
“Boris is absolutely behind the Florence speech and the line that we have taken.”

she said the government was working on plans should it be impossible to agree a Brexit deal. “Government departments are looking to see what changes are needed, what we need to put in place.”

Why would I do that? Your posts keep me entertained.

No I don't believe Boris and May are united and are like a 'nest of singing birds'. It's pretty obvious from recent goings on that's an unlikely state of affairs whatever they say to the media.

You really do not understand the possible difference between a report and fact, do you?

It's a fact that Boris says he and May 'are a nest of singing birds' and May says 'Boris is absolutely behind the Florence speech and the line that we have taken'.

However it would be fallacious reasoning to take this fact to prove they are, in fact, like harmonious lovebirds.

This is the position Boris has put May in. Having to avoid the questions to which we 'all know' the answer already. She must be fuming at him.

Nice quote from Marr something along the lines of 'if the cabinet is like a nest of singing birds one of them is a giant Cuckoo and there are at least three vultures too'.
