About these brexit exit fees?
« on: 20 March 2017, 12:12:24 »

During the campaign I don't recall 'leave' or 'remain' make any mention of this. I've heard figures of between 20 billion and 60 billion spoken of.

Why do we (and why should we) pay any exit fees?

They will probably be insignificant compared to what we are likely to have to contribute to stay in a reasonable trading position with Europe.

These 'potential' fees will most likely relate to commitments already made such as loans to other countries (e.g. Ireland), pension contributions to EU staff, research funding commitments etc etc,

No different to you or I ending a contract early

60 billion pounds doesn't really bring it home, so......




£60,000,000,000

That's quite a lot.

Of course. We can afford it. Look at how well our public services are funded. And the NHS....well.........I believe they're going to start prescribing £50 notes for alcoholics to free up A&E.  ;D

A course in rugby? The rules are quite hard to understand but going on a course seems like a waste of public money to me.  >:(

Well.......you didn't learn much, because even I know a team should have 13 or 15 players, not 14!

It's one million pounds sixty thousand times over. Hardly loose change.

They said they won't even talk to us if we don't agree that some sort of settlement should be reached. They'll just ignore us and pretend we don't exist. They'll just put water on their maps where the UK used to be.  ;D
