Question For Gromit............

[ToraToraTora]

Have you ever supported the UK on any subject? Have you always sided with the opposition on every little detail? Have you always spun our wins as losses and our losses as catastrophies?

Breitbart is not a source worthy of the name.

[Gromit]

Tora,
You misunderstand.
I am not praising the EU for extracting £50 Billion from us, I am shocked the Davis and Co. didn’t make a fight of it for Britain.
I am not saying Barnier and Junker are any good. They are just not as bad as Davis and Fox. That is not putting our country down,I am sure there are thousands of British negotiators better than the team Mrs May put together.

Hilarious thread - embittered brexiters trying to find an ABer to blame for the manifest failings of the leaders of their own adored party to put their deluded programme into action.

[Gromit]

The £100 billion in the Breitbart article was never proposed by the EU. It was a calculation by the Financial Times based on guess work. The figure the EU brought to the table, was always the one we are paying just over £50 billion.

For Jno. From a previous thread.
//The Remoaners are still ululating then. We are going to be out. Worth every penny. It would have cost us more to stay in, and not just financially but in terms of self respect and self determination and governance. Send us a postcard when you get there(We must assume you are leaving surely).//

Blaming??? Nope gloating. :))

[emmie]

its a shocking amount of money, but if its to be then as they say so be it.

I assume the bill will have to be paid in euros so the actual figure will depend on how far sterling has fallen by the payment date.

[ummmm]

So you did , Mamya, I see I missed a page in my browsing.

[Mamyalynne]

Wasn't a complaint just an agreement.

[ToraToraTora]

jno: "I assume the bill will have to be paid in euros so the actual figure will depend on how far sterling has fallen by the payment date. " - ah bout time the chief of the VB piped up. So jno, you are certain the pound will fall against the Euro? get on the derivs market and sell sterling mate, make a fortune, you are certain so you can't lose.

[youngmafbog]

Oh *** jno Sterling has risen.

Yet another anti-British poster falls for it.

[anneasquith]

[Spicerack]

Someone must have blown the anti-British bugle.
The whole motley crew turned up.
