The thing that bugs me about this whole "divorce bill" is it's completely unhinged.
"You want a divorce? Give me loads of money".
Ok, in that case let's look at dividing the assets up then. Oh wait, EU seem to be very quiet about that.
Fecking going to rue the day this stupid country voted to leave the EU
Don't say you were not told
Disagree. For me it confirms we were right to leave such a vindictive, small minded and undemocratic organisation.Quote:

It's staggering how indoctrinated Ireland are.
Look at the Treaty of Lisbon referendums. Ireland voted against initially; "wrote decision - vote again". How utterly farcical and undemocratic.
There's more important things than the Brexit saga to worry about. Artificial Intelligence will make most of humanity redundant.

The EU is an organisation with assets and liabilities.The EU has been clear that when the UK leaves, it is expected to pay off its share of the liabilities https://www.instituteforgovernment.o...u-divorce-billQuote:

robots will create more jobs than lose in an industrial sense . i can't answer for people who sit on there arse in office jobs tho !
as for brexit no one knows what's going to happen not even the government !
I dont use twitter, but read that there were pro brexit bots posting all over there before the vote. All trace back to russia. Not sure if its bullshit or a wacky conspiracy.
Brexit referendum not going the way a minority wanted - must be russian bots.
Trump winning - must be russian bots.
Me not winning lottery - must be russian bots interfering with ball drawing.
Aunt Nellie's dog died - must be russian bots poisoning mutts.
Twitter would be better suited to 28 characters - 1 per IQ point of the average twitter user.
Well I think we are fecked
You might be correct. But powerful voices - Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking, to name but two - believe otherwise.Quote:

I'd suggest we've a stake in each and every tangible asset owned by the EU. Can be property, can be other things. That can't be ignored.Quote:

But apparently it’s worth giving tne economy a kick in the bollocks just to gain back control.
