All this pussy footing around is unbelievable . Cometh the hour cometh the man , where is he and who do you think it should be ? has to be a Brexiteer without conflicts of interest plus knowledge of the EU workings . He would have done a better job than May and her cronies . Interested in the 65k and 150k , please enlighten me . Unfortunately, big business are far less likely to give consultancies and directorships to MPs that supports leave.....

Just as they predicted 500,000 jobs losses, emergency budget, recession etc. just on a VOTE to leave (not actually leaving). Look how that turned out, we're doing pretty well despite the doomsday predictions. There will be no cliff edge, no car crash, this is just emotive language which if repeated often enough people start to believe. We'll trade on WTO terms as we do with most of the rest of the world until a trade deal is reached. There will be some minor delays at the main EU ports for a few months I'd imagine but essentials like vital medicine can be sourced from outside the EU if necessary. If essentials cost more to bring in by air from outside the EU, subsidize it from the 39 Billion we saved until things settle down. There are plenty of 'experts' predicting very little negative impact from No Deal and quite a few benefits, just as you have the peddlers of Project Fear predicting 30% house price falls, outbreaks of super gonorrhoea etc. I keep hearing about the disaster of No Deal (crashing out, cliff edge etc.) but when it comes to specifics I don't hear too much. If there was good will on both sides it wouldn't be as much of an issue but unfortunately the EU is extremely bitter about our decision to leave and wants to punish the UK to deter another country leaving and prompting their house of cards to topple. Like I said, it's like a mafia kneecapping one of the gang when they inform the boss they intend to leave. Plus, the brit. govt. is also determined to remain - and desperately hoping for something miraculous to occur, so that they can get away with this, without losing their seats. ????

rocketman777 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Well with the EU leaders finally seem to have had enough, particularly Macron who appears adamant that there will be no more concessions, there will be a Brexit no later then April 12. Cannot see how Bercow can allow a 3rd vote have disallowed it previously already, and in any case will almost certainly fail No time for a 2nd Referendum , no time for a General Election. May will be forced out the government will collapse and there will be a General Election, but too late to prevent the UK leaving according to the wishes of the 2016 Referendum. That is unless she attempts withdraw Article 50, which will require an act of parliament and if successful would be a totally betrayal of the British public and the democratic process. All her conniving over the past 21/2 years have failed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of which of us is right - how does this equate to 39 bn?

You are correct that it would end in court but there is no certainty that we would have to pay all of the 39 Billion, it is much more likely we'd pay a fraction of that amount after a lengthy court process. https://fullfact.org/europe/no-deal-divorce-bill-legally-obligated-pay/ For those who cannot be bothered to click the link, the question is how much we are legally obligated to pay if we leave with no deal. The response... This is highly uncertain. Experts at UK in a Changing Europe told us that, under international law, it’s not clearly set out that the UK has to pay anything once it has left the EU. However, the EU would be within its rights to take the case to the International Court of Justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
