You're bankrupt on the 29th March at precisely 23:00:01.

Yes, I've heard about this supposed payments we owe to the EU. Strangely, I never hear about the investments we have made in the EU's infrastructure and scientific projects.

Perhaps they owe us a few tens of billions after all!

If we are found in default the costs will be far more than the £19 Billion we have agreed to pay as part of the Withdrawal Settlement.

Yes, as I said, I've heard of our supposed 'debt', but have not heard details of who arrived at the figure and on what basis.

Does this much vaunted £19 billion account for all the investments that we have made in the EU?

No, I thought not.

If we had had some competent politicians fighting our corner I bet the figure arrived at would have been quite different!

I always was. That doesn't make me blind however, for the many benefits from such a union.

I think Mrs May would be having orgasms at the thought of paying them £19 billion.

As most of our MPs are clearly without honour, then that's alright. We won't have to pay a cent.

You have little grasp of the mechanisms by which such deals are worked. Politicians in the best case sail with the work done by their civil servants, or they sink the ship. Brexit is an example of the latter.
