It´s no surprise...

The UK has obligations,

.. they knew this before the vote, so if they did,´t want to pay they should not have had a vote to leave.

If they didn´t know they had to pay, they should have..

...the cock-up continues...

I would find it very hard to resist using expletives . :lol:Some payment may be reasonable ...but , a 100 billion ???

It’s their club and, if we no longer want to be a part of it but still retain trade arrangements, we have to agree to their terms.

Juncker’s just doing his job and I’m sure that many in Europe have feelings, similar to Belcat’s, for Farage and Johnson too.

The numbers quoted are the various figures put around by the press and some MP's, all of whom, have their own agendas. The final figure agreed will be the UK's obligation under the terms of its membership of the EU, in other words, the terms it signed up to in the first place.
If a man, as an example, decides to get divorced from his wife and leave her and the children because he has taken off with another woman, he has obligations which he cannot walk away from. Perhaps, it is a pity the British government did not make the necessary calculations before calling the referendum.
So is our liability £20 Billion or £100 Billion? As I have no comprehension of such high numbers, the best way I can think of it is as somewhere between 100 and 500 Neymar Juniors..

Should have been in the small print on the side of the Brexit Battle Bus. It seems we were expected to give an answer before the question could be worked out.

Brexit was like playing a game of poker blind against 27 other players who could see their cards.
