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.

[Olog-hai]

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

[mountn man]

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?

This is like some states here which charge companies and you when you leave the state.

[FlingWingFlyer]

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.

20 bn Euros?

Middle finger.....

Salute!

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.

[Brian Griffin]

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.

[Dr. Ursus]

That sounds like a box of old cod’s,

[bgill]

How can “they” hold Britain hostage?

[AndyTheBear]

You can check out any time you want. But you can never leave.

Dear EU,

Sincerely,

[TADSLOS]

Double Down the stupidity, EU.

[WMarshal]

This is why nation states have militaries. The EU can stuff it.

[Roger Kaputnik]

The EU sounds like the Corleone Family (The Godfather).

[amnestynone]

Just leave and to hell with them!

[thoughtomator]

looks like the EU is effectively Islamic already

[Still Thinking]

.....which they plan to enforce how, exactly???
