highly unlikely we can keep extending. They will punish with a no deal to stop others looking to leave.

More likely to extend, death by a thousand cuts more profitable for the EU. Were the UKs negotiators stupid enough to accept that extension.

With no deal. There's no obligation for the UK to contribute anything against future liabilities. Cash is king. Not profit.

No obligations, just our reputation on the line. But sure.

Who cares about our reputation

When our forebears kept the light of democracy alive in 1940

When our troops were fighting and dying on Flanders Fields

When post war we wrote off German debts and left them with a fiscal position of being a net creditor to the private sector until the mid 60s allowing them to provide long term funding to infrastructure and investment in industry whilst the UK suffered in austerity.

and on many other issues of 'reputation'

These have counted for precisely nothing when it comes to goodwill from the EU

SO FYEU no money!

The Lib Dems have a potential to be kingmakers though. Say parliament falls and we have a GE, per the Sky predictions, the two ways to make government would be either:

Cons + DUP + Lib Dems = 325+, or
Lab + SNP + Lib Dems = 325+

I know that polls aren't necessarily an indicator of what's going to happen, but if we get a hung parliament the Lib Dems are most likely the only party willing to dance with both sides.

Sky was also saying that there are now far fewer floating voters, so coalition is more inevitable.

The Lib Dems will never form another government with the Tories.

........and you've clearly learned nothing from that history from you comment. The EU was set up precisely to stop a future repeat of conflict in Europe!

It was set up to subvert the democratic institutions of nation states and replace it by a super state led by unelected so called 'technocrats'.

It was set up to create a United States of Europe without any effective democratic control.

It is an institution that we are leaving, thank god!

So are you saying that we should give the EU the money to stop them invading us?

It is as long suspected.

If the EU's attempts at Economic blockade fail then they will be taking further action by military means.

This could be similar to the sudetens in Czechslovakia, a vocal minority EUlanders will call foul and a 'peace' force will be sent to 'restore order'. Any politician protesting would be detained 'for public safety', charges of sedition (already happening in the EU) will be brought............

Watch the SKY coverage of Russia, that will be London soon with the EU Sturmtruppen cheered on by the 'blue and yellow flag of surrender'. In these terms 'surrender of UK freedom'

As members of Arlene's party might say:

'No surrender!'

It would appear that the good weather has caused the more rabid of the brexiteers to be hitting the sauce significantly earlier than usual...

This has to be the most ridiculous post of the year on this forum...
