UK upset over divorce bill with EU

[Jimmy Higgins]

It looks like the EU is saying the UK may need to pay them up to 100 billion euros. I'm pretty certain the Brexit advocates in England were touting that when promoting their idiocy to support Brexit.

Mr Davis said the negotiations had not started in earnest but he indicated the UK would set down a marker when it came to talks over the divorce settlement.

"We are not supplicants," he said. "This is a negotiation. They lay down what they want and we lay down what we want."

Various figures ranging from 50bn to 100bn euros had been knocking around, he said, but he had "not seen" any official numbers. Asked directly whether a figure of 100bn euros - was acceptable, he replied: "We will not be paying €100bn."

What can it possibly matter - all the world is desperate to lose its money in trade deals with the UK to pay, doubtless, for the NHS! Against stupidity the gods strive in vain!

What, the UK didn't demand a prenum all those years ago?

Maybe the parties should ask FFvC to be their Judge Judy
