Yes, but let us remember that she was, in fact, working undercover for the EU.

So this figure is in respect of commitments and pensions.

Whose pensions? Would that be our own MEPs? If so, I suppose I could accept that. Could it be pensions for non-British members of the EU Commission or Parliament? If so, why should we pay their pensions?

Commitments to what? Ongoing developments, such as Galileo which I mentioned earlier. Whatever these commitments actually are, are they things that we would benefit from? Again, if so, I suppose that we should continue to contribute. If not, no.

I'd like to have a lot more clarification of exactly what our £7-9 billion is in respect of.

That's easy to get. Load down the withdrawal deal and start reading. Do some work yourself for a change.

It's for the EU gravy train.

Spend our money on people who need it in our country

Hi

I i gladly take Bread on a shark fishing trip., if I am wrong.

It will be out of Pembroke, our own waters.

No chance of a Conger fishing trip, as the wrecks are in French Waters.

The Withdrawal Bill.

Well some some of it is gone, we have eaten into it since the extension from the end of March.

The Bill is now £32 Billion.

No Deal means we do not have to pay another £16 Billion.

Much more than Boris claims, a £7 Billion difference.

The EU think they are in a very strong position about this.

Things signed up to by Cameron and Co.

If Boris is right, we are £billions in, if he is wrong, we will be hammered by the money markets and the EU will go for it big time.

Size matters, the EU is a much bigger Market than the UK.

We are at a disadvantage.

Yes, JBR, every item being billed needs careful scrutiny
especially as eu has allready attemted to skin us when they
tried to get away with charging us 80-90 billion for the
priviledge of leaving, but soon altered this to the current
figure of 39 Billion when challenged!!

Quite right, she never wanted to leave in the first place and was doing her best to keep us tied to Brussels one way or another and at the same time appearing to do as the British public voted to do.

Never one to engage in defeatism, I think we should call their bluff.

As I have said many times, let's wait and see who was right.
