For sure, how are the bureaucrats going to enforce their extortion money? All the Brits have to do is counter whatever they demand with a fee for this or that. I would tell the carneys in Brussels’s sure the checks in the mail boys and girls.
When the EU goes down, and it will go down, it will happen virtually overnight.
Like a mudslide....and yes, it will be chaos, they have only themselves to blame.
When NATO becomes the military branch of the European Caliphate, will the USA still be paying most of the bills?
Theresa May to Juncker:
“Mr. President? You can have my answer now, if you like. My final offer is this: nothing. Not even the fee for the gaming license, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally.”
