I had heard rumours of 50bil or so, but Boris is saying 30bil is too much, I think.
All of which is very puzzling because I've been assured many times that Brexit means Brexit and that that answers all questions pertaining to the details of us leaving the EU so I'm not too sure what the issue really is.
I'm going to repeat Brexit means Brexit over and over to myself and see if a number magically appears at some point.

Well given that we legally don't owe them a single fücking penny, it's fairly ludicrous to talk in terms of there being any 'correct' number. The number will be whatever we can get away with based on the negotiations.I had heard rumours of 50bil or so, but Boris is saying 30bil is too much, I think.

Let me just get this clear in my head. So, our government (the responsible, hard headed, flag waving patriots who put britain first and dont stand for any nonsense from this euro cretins) are going to try to negotiate a reduction on a bill that we have precisely no legal obligation to pay?
That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Cant we just find a half decent lawyer? I know a guy....
I didn't say that we didn't have to pay money, I said there was no legal obligation to do so. There are imperatives other than the law.
However, as an initial negotiating position, the fact that we are under no legal obligation is quite a useful one.
I'm not sure that upsetting the other party is a great tactic for the rest of the Brexit negotiations. We could do with a concession or two being thrown our way.
Yes. Increasingly, however, it's becoming apparent that the EU Commission are ideologues rather than pragmatists. This makes negotiating sensibly with them rather difficult.
They're going to make a bloody example of us, B
My other half is going to have to go and live in Amsterdam if things don't work out.
