Re: UK Contributions To EU Rising
Any mathematicians in the house ? Makes all of us look like a load of monkeys chewing on bananas !We clearly have not much idea, but it would seem, neither do any of them, whoever they are or wherever they come from. Very confusing.

paragraph 96/97 Do I understand correctly that Mr Barnier's figure quoted is £60 billion ? Say that again loudly £60 BILLION
Please tell me I have mis-understood... someone

Re: UK Contributions To EU Rising
The only upside I can see to reneging on paying our obligations is that Farage may not see a penny of his MEP pensions

We don't have to pay anything - only the obligations until October 31st, certainly not 32 billion.
If anything, the EU should be refunding us for all the infrastructure project we paid into including the parliament buildings we part own
Hi
Your statement is irrelevant, it matters nothing what you think, what Boris or JRM think.
The UK Government has signed agreements before the Referendum.
It doesn't matter either what the EU or Juncker think.
The matter will decided through either the International Courts or Arbitration.

Re: UK Contributions To EU Rising
I have to keep reminding myself that 39 Billion could be represented as 39 Thousand Million, (39,000,000,000)!The word "Billion" seems to make it sound a lot less than it is.
So each of us, here in the UK, is required to fork up a very large chunk of our hard earned!
Well, maybe not exactly "Each of us" as there are some who pay no tax.

It is not payable as lump sum, it is spread over many years.
Around half of it is because we asked for a two year Transition Period as we where not ready to leave.
That is our own stupid fault, we could have been and should have been.
Our Politicians are very good at spending our money, rather different when it comes to spending their own.
As for the rest of it, well that is for the International Courts to decide, previous Governments signed up for it.
It is a balancing act.
We need Trade Deals and we need to borrow money every year, we are still living beyond our means.
If other Countries and the Money Markets decide we cannot be trusted to stick to agreements they will be reluctant to deal with us, which will cost us money.
