Unfortunately, I wouldn't trust them to do the honourable thing. The impression I get is that they are quietly preparing to do the dirty on us - after we have paid up, of course - because they want to discourage any other member country from following us out.
I wouldn't trust them and inch, especially the perfidious Frogs.
Hi
Some of you do not understand.
We voted Leave, I have no problem with that.
Some months later, Theresa May handed in the Article 50 letter, we leave in March 2019
She also gave a speech stating our negotiating position, which was really very simple.
No deal is better than a bad deal,give us what we want or we leave without any deal.
The EU said fine to both, your choice UK.
You leave in March 2019, it is a date you picked.
We are not prepared to give you what you want, which is Single Market Access.
We have then done nothing to put the systems in place to leave, the EU have.
We then went back on our leaving date, we need an extension.
The EU said fine,pay up.
That is business, we are so far behind we are now asking for not a two year extension,but an open ended one.
We said we would continue with our Trade Deals with 40 Countries as part of the EU.
Very arrogant of us, we told them what will happen, how we are splitting up the Tariffs and Quotas.
They have said get stuffed, you ask, you negotiate, you do not tell.
The USA, amongst others have made formal complaints to the WTO even though they are not directly involved.
They are entitled to do this, and it scuppers our time frame.
The problems we are having are our own incompetence, naff all to do with the EU.
