If however its the nasty protection racket many of us believed it to be this sort of thing was bound to happen. Its just proving what many of us believed all along.
I agree Julie, not so much a 'friendly club' to be left at will but one that holds members to ransom

I don't understand why the EU countries would want to deter anyone from leaving except of course they don't want to lose ours or anyone elses contributions which contributes to the lifestyle of so many unelected commissioners with their high wages and pensions.

That assumes we wanted to rule Europe which wasn't our agenda ! If they had that as an agenda they should have told us before we joined.
