You have to remember  the default is, if there is no agreement, Britain will leave the EU in 11 months with no deal. The Ultra-Brexiters get their wet dream come true.  I can't really see people letting this happen, but the current shower are such incompetents it has to be a possibility. It will be a disaster, 1 in 6 people in the UK lose their jobs and the food supply chain goes missing in action. Not even any planes to escape the chaos.  

I think in the short run there would be serious disruption But once it gets sorted out, the UK will just have a somewhat slower economy that it otherwise would have had. But not a disaster. Not even close.

You might need to check your facts bristolboy.

 

The UK net contribution is around 10bn, or 14% of the entire EU budget.  Hardly a 'rounding error'.

 

I believe Germany and France contribute 19% and 16% respectively.

I beleive that the UK is the 2nd or 3rd largest contributor to Brussels. And as you know most of the other countries do not contribute at all. Therefore in regards to the E.U budget, it’s a very significant amount.

However disregarding our contributions.So why are they so determined that we remain in this so called union?

So things don’t change much. Same predictions, by the remoaners, as to what would happen if we voted for Brexit in 2016.

The deeper you get into Blair, Saville and especially Heath, you begin to understand how these lot were controlled to do all kinds of dirty work.... Heath was compromised by German Intelligence in the thirties when the Germans ran all the knocking shops and little boy clubs in England to ensnare deviants like Heath for further use.... The boys home in Jersey where Heath was abusing children and murdering them was financed from Germany...... 2+2 =

I was referring quite clearly to the budgets of Germany and France. The 2017 federal budget of Germany was 329 billion euros. The 2017 budget of France was about 520 billion Euros. Throw in the budget of the other net contributors and you'r talking about a trillion euros more or less. So the net UK contribution amounts to about 1 percent of that.

I think they're prepared to see the UK go. But they are determned not to let the UK enjoy the privileges of membership whilst escaping the obligations.

Looks like you are a bit mixed up between national budgets and EU member state gross contributions there matey?

You got a source for that? As I understand it, France's net expenditure are only slightly less than the UK's.

I assume it was a typo, and you wrote infinitesimal instead of indispensable; if not, could you tell me where you got your figures from. The UK is one of the top 4 net contributors to the EU, making a net payment of £8.6 billion in 2016. Also, in 2015 the UK share of EU GDP was 17.5% and it was 16% in 2016. This is the EU that has seen its percentage of world economic output diminish from 31% in 1973 to 16.5% now.

 

To call the UK’s contribution infinitesimal is quite frankly absurd, especially when you consider that the UK is one of the biggest of only 11 net contributors, the other 17 members all receiving subsidies greater than their contributions. Why do you think the EU is trying to make it as difficult as possible for the UK to leave.

So we are not going to get a deal unless we sort out the Irish border.

" if there is no settlement of the Irish question, there will be no withdrawal agreement and if there is no withdrawal agreement, there will be no transmission period."

So what is the chances of us being able to do this ?

Why are you comparing the budgets of Germany and France to the NET CONTRIBUTION of the UK to the EU. It makes no sense whatsoever, if you are to make comparisons, they must be like for like, budget v budget, or net contributions v net contributions; you may as well compare Tesco’s annual turnover with the net profit of Harry’s Newsagent in Skelmersdale

 

It is also a good idea to remember that a budget is a projection of intended  spending, and that the European commission has said that France’s fiscal plans for 2018 were at risk of not meeting the EU’s debt reduction target next year, and its efforts to shrink its structural deficit were falling short over the next two years.

I'm citing their budget to show how small a number the UK's net contribution to the EU is in real terms and how easily the lack of funds created by UK withdrawal would be to pay. In other words, I'm talking about the real world. It's very little money in terms of the size of the rest of the EU economy and how much taxes are paid. The way Brexiters go on about it you would think that the loss pf UK payments represents some kind of major disaster for the EU.

As for the French budget,  France has gotten such warnings before and has yet to be penalized. In addition, in 2017  France actually did better than the projections of how much it's deficit would be.

Well, I must say, that’s a bit rich coming from someone that claimed that the UK’s Net contribution to the EU was infinitesimal by comparing it to completely inappropriate and irrelevant criteria. Did you think that you wouldn’t get found out ?

I have given my data and and it is independently verifiable. It's your judgement that it is completely inappropriate and unverifiable. You seem unable to understand that the amount of the British contribution is small potatoes compared to what Germany and France, not to mention other nations, spend each year and is easily affordable even without cutting a bit of the EU budget.

 But the fact is nauseus provided information that is verifiably false. No judgment call can change that.

No, you were asking what is the net contribution of the UK to the EU. You then tried to belittle the UK’s contribution, calling it infinitesimal, by comparing it with the budgets of Germany and France, which is a ludicrous comparison. Maybe you do not understand the difference between a country’s net contribution to the EU and a country’s budget.

 

Maybe you do understand and are just not prepared to admit that it was a completely senseless comparison.

 

In case you’ve forgotten, this is what you wrote.

Once again, and this is the last time I will try to explain it to you. Paying the shortfall created by the British exit is an easy matter for nations the size of Germany and France. And thanks for quoting me. If you'll note I wrote "the budgets of Germany and France" I didn't write the payments of Germany and France to the EU. Or do you think that Germany's payments to the EU and France's payments to the EU are 'budgets". Do you know what "budget" means?

Food stamp grabbers? Really?

The areas and demographics where the Brexit vote was won

The decision for the UK to leave the European Union was overwhelmingly supported in parts of England with low income and education levels.

Average educational attainment, median income and social class in English local authorities were the strongest predictors of how residents in that area voted in the referendum. The results indicate that the greater the proportion of residents with a higher education, the more likely a local authority was to vote remain.

Wandsworth, Richmond upon Thames, and Cambridge, where around half of the population has a higher education qualification, all gave over two-thirds of their votes to remain.

I see. When you believed "food stamp grabbers" were against Brexit you thought it reflected badly on them. . Not that I've shown that it's the opposite that is the case, you're saying it doesn't matter. Does the phrase "hoist with his own petard" mean anything to you?..
