The EU is threatening the UK, fine, that is the nature of the game.
Your Presidential Candidate, Macron, was here in the UK for a meeting with our PM, May.
He took the opportunity of threatening the UK.
Not a good idea.
Two can play hardball.
We are the second largest Contributor to EU Funding, the EU will have to deal with that when we leave.
We own 16.6 % of the European Investment Bank, and as such, the same amount of the Loan Book.
We can just sell it to Putin and up yours.
Oh dear SF.
WTO Rules will apply, we all ready pay Tariffs on non EU Imported Products, those same tariffs will apply to EU Products when we leave.
The EU (including the UK) pays tariffs based on both bilateral trade agreements AND WTO rules. One or the other. Contrary to what you said earlier, your duties to pay and duties you receive will be equal to the LEAST paid across WTO nations IF they are Most Favoured Nations in the deal. That way no one can undercut anyone else to ply for trade.
So indeed you will have to pay tariffs to the EU when you leave. and what you pay and receive is based on what is the LEAST paid and received anywhere as a MFN. ie you cannot charge the EU less than you charge Australia...so your example of Australia and Chile etc is moot. You will all be paying the same. No one benefits.

I have no idea where you got this notion. However it is true to say that the growth in the UK and elsewhere in the EU is based on your EU membership.

Deal with what? They won't have to pay out to your farmers, infrastructure and inner city refurbishment, universities and other grand projects. They have just signed a deal with Canada that will more th an plug any gap that might occur.

I am sure that will be taken into account when the subject of the 60ish billion debt is discussed.
Now I note you have not discussed the subject of this thread again...immigration post Brexit and DD's statement instead of going ad nauseam over the same stuff again.
Second time of asking.
