Doesn’t matter if they pay it or not. If they do, they’ll just come up with something else.

England has to pay the money only if England wants to use the price as an excuse to not exit after all. Otherwise EU can go whistle for their money.

They just gave Britain perfect cause to invoke clausula rebus sic stantibus by this action.

And if GB doesn't pay, what is the EU going to do?
Hold its breath?
Draw a red line in the sand?
Scream and shout and run to their safe place?

So the EU is building it’s own Berlin Wall? Some things never change. Britain needs to stand tough and not negotiate with terrorists the way the U.S. does.

People are commenting on that site that May was elected to find a way to keep Britain in the EU. I haven’t been keeping up with the news over there to know if that’s true or not.

You know whee they got that idea from?
Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.

— Fourth plank of communism, Manifesto, ch. 2
And since the federal government has been taken over by the same kind of people, the expurgation of a socialistic form of government in favor of a “republican form of government” will never happen.

It will be interesting to watch this. There is a lot of power and money for the elite and they won’t let go of any portion of it easily.

Any barrier to keep you INSIDE of a place, organization or belief system is a prison, whether made of sticks, bricks, money, guilt, words or threats.

  1. Did Britain lawfully incur the charges?
  2. $20 billion seems a small price to get your freedom back if they did incur the charges.

“Lawful” has a very tenuous definition in the EU.

If there were any doubts that the UK should leave the EU, the EU has removed them.

The EU has some really nasty people in charge of it - vindictive money-grubbers.

They’re still being run by conservatives in name only, of the kind that forced gay marriage down the country’s throat. No country that fights against God will stand; that’s the dilemma they face.

Always has. Bernard Connolly’s book The Rotten Heart of Europe detailed the facts explicitly.
