Why would I love it? It's going to be detrimental to the UK's long-term futute; I'd rather be wrong and the country be successful.

The EU isn't taking the piss, it's just getting the best deal for itself. You seem so brainwashed by the Tories and even started quoting May the other day with her "magic money tree" nonsense.

Which you know is bullshit.

So May was the first ever person to use the term magic money tree?

So you think it is OK for them to get the best deal which is not getting a deal?

Why should it let the UK cherry pick whatever it wants? It's not going to give the UK a deal at any cost.

The EU "divorce bill"

If a deal isn't made a payment isn't due.

So who has said we want only what is best?

Other than remainers and the EU that is.

A deal should be to the benefit of both sides and not just to the benefit of the EU. They should not be able to cherry pick either.

So the UK is the one going back on what was previously agreed?

The UK keeps going on about wants to take back control of its money, law, and borders.

Why is it so wrong of the EU to defend its money, law and borders?

Sounds like double-standards to me

The EU has asked us to put forward a workable proposal. We cannot. That’s it.

Now it’s their fault for that, and by asking us for a workable proposal they are taking the piss?
Click to expand...
Or is the EU's idea of a workable proposal a 'take it or leave it' one. As in offer us close to the maximum we want or there is no deal?

Once again you seem very blinkered & biased toward one side in this equation

Ok.

So what has the UK gone back on?

So what is wrong of us getting back co trol of our borders, money and laws once we have left? Why should the EU continue to control them once we have left?

And finally in what way are we trying to control borders, money and laws of the EU?

Of course we are not.

There seems a number of member-states that don't like the idea of a non-deal. I will be surprised if there are any that don't, & amazed if one isn't reached

It is all posturing to see what they can get out of is and to see if they can make us stay in. Many are taking advantage of it and making out it is certain to happen.

Well I agree that hard Brexit may already be priced in. I doubt whether people in the EU are not following what is going on. It will be priced in here as well.

I am not being cocky. I won’t be celebrating because millions of people suffer more in one place than another. The whole thing is a huge distraction from living our lives in peace and prosperity, which we should all be doing.

You certainly seem distracted to the point of delerium by it. I suspect you are pretty much alone in that though

Have you read why the custom's plans were rejected?

Direct quote from MB:

Maintaining control of our money, law, and borders also applies to the EU’s customs policy.

The EU cannot - and the EU will not - delegate the application of its customs policy and rules, VAT and excise duty collections to a non-member who would not be subject to the EU’s governance structures

So why do we have to pay? There is nothing written in law that says we have to pay. And we would be out of the EU jurisdiction so they couldn't force us to pay.

We agreed to pay money. They agreed to come to an agreement with us. But they have gone back on it so far.

And if it is good enough for the EU to bend rules why is it not OK for us to?

We are not out of international jurisdiction. What rules are they bending unilaterally?

IDS says it will be no problem for us. So where’s the problem? WTO it is then. The EU is intent on us complying as much as possible to EU rules. Makes life easier for all concerned. It has said that there can be alternatives, but they won’t be as good as what we have now.

I'm shitting myself, Is this the end of the World? It must be because I could never imagine a scenario where the armed forces would be used as a contingency plan in a worst case scenario situation, like a strike by ambulance staff and firefighters, flood relief etc...etc. Wouldn't it be stupid for the British armed forces to stand up for the rights of the British people after they voted in a majority for change, offered to them by a democratically elected government, I can't think of a more important role for a countries armed forces to do than protect and support the people of it's country, can you? Isn't that the job?
Click to expand...
Oh come off it. The government are worried about serious civil unrest. It's not because a public service is on strike. I voted leave but the way scumbags in this government have hijacked the vote makes me wish I hadn't. That's even despite the fact that I still believe in the principle of leaving the EU.

The EU is not forcing the UK into a no deal position. It made clear its position a long time ago. The disaster capitalists of this world like that horrible c**t Rees Mogg are pushing this, they'll clean up from short selling shares and currency.

Nothing, as long as you don’t mind setting fire to the GF peace agreement. Nothing, as long as you accept an end to free trade with the EU. Nothing, as long as you don’t mind the financial district of London loosing it’s passporting rights. Nothing, as long as you don’t mind British ex pats who’ve retired/settled in the EU loosing their rights to healthcare. Nothing, so long as you don’t mind those same people losing their rights to retire/settle in the EU in the first place. Shall I go on.

You love forcing people to answer questions so answer this please. How long will these payments be due, what is the net payment and will it be more or less than the contribution we pay in an average year.

We're the ones who chose to raise a middle finger to the continent, so the burden is on us to extract a good settlement.
