Tracker Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Remoaners note - when Brits stand up for the UK we are deemed to be selfish and inward looking, but when push comes to shove so are the other 27 nations who are all far more interested in their own country's agendas and what they get compared to what they pay. Surprise surprise nobody wants to pay more to keep the EU club alive in it's present format. If Brexit causes the whole EU to reform and return to a trading partnership and abandon the political ambitions of the few for a USE then what an achievement to be proud of that will be. Dare I say it - but maybe we might even consider re-entry at some future point - when it suits us not them - although I suspect once out we will stay out!

Barryd999 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 That article assume we wont be paying in of course. I thought we were heading for a super duper Canada +++ deal. Are the Brexiteers assuming still that it will be free? (lol) Its worth reminding people that the money we and other countries pay in is kak all in the great scheme of things. What we pay in to the EU is just 1% of our annual spend. Whats £3bn to the German economy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only relevant to the question you asked what is £ 3 billion to the German economy. To which my answer is likely be "peanuts" German economy. When they want something badly they find the money.

thebishbus Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 It is understandable that the Germans would spend a lot to unify Germany under one government , but will they spend a lot to unify the EU. I suppose they may do if it is under German control . Brian B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek pringle Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Hi, It seems to me that the Germans and French are concerned that the country exiting [uk] is a wealthier member of the EU.I wonder if they would be bothered if one of the poorer,nett beneficiaries, of the 27 were leaving. cheers derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
