Corbyn for a term would be less disastrous than even a soft Brexit under the Tories because we would maintain the customs union. Economically there is no upside to Brexit. No one even claims there is any more.

We may still have a custom union with Corbyn. But we wouldn't have anything to trade with! The man's a communist loon. So in my book a hard Brexit is preferably to Corbyn.

Living in a cave eating raw meat and hitting each other with sticks would be better than Corbyn. We'd be insane to let him in.

Lot of insanity being diagnosed though I quite fancy sitting in a cave watching the women folk do cooking/cleaning/entertaining while I venture forth once a week to collect a quarter of mammoth. Put you pension on corbyn not getting anywhere near no 10 but that is not to say labour would not win a GE with someone else at the helm. This paranoia over leaving the "comfort" of europe is completely insane but it isn't going to go away.

We'll find out out later today, if it's teflon Boris I'm sure we'll leave.

The only way is to keep him in a strait jacket as he is now. Tory MPs must know he's an incompetent but they're voting for their jobs. Scary times when altruism is dead in politics.

And,
"BRUSSELS has finally conceded that there is no legal way to force Britain to fork out for the £39 billion Brexit bill after Boris Johnson threatened to withhold the cash."

"Eurocrats admitted “there is not really a court to settle the dispute” if the next British prime minister refuses to pay the extortionate fee agreed by Theresa May. The European Commission’s budget chief Gunther Oettinger told reporters in Brussels that he hopes Britain will “settle old debts fairly” and expects the next Tory leader to “accept that bill”. The German official said: “Mrs May’s Government accepted the payment of that amount, so we expect that no matter which government will be out negotiating partner… we expect them to accept that bill.”

So there's that as well. 😂

Think you’ll find we do and isn’t it over 20 years or something? Whatever, I don’t think the threat of withholding it will make them feel charitable towards us or change their minds and give us the great deal promised. Do you?

You're confused. What they are doing is negotiating to protect the single market and the interests of the EU. You say you run a business, yet you fail to understand this?

The customer has the right to query the bill if it is unreasonable or do you just pay all your bills even if you think the bill is too much?

There's a difference between a bill and a legally binding contract. Sure, you can query whether the service meets the contractual conditions, but that isn't what's happening here. It's gammon meltdown.

No contract, no legal reasons to pay. (Apparently).

I work for a contractor on a PFI set up. It's a nightmare because everything is grey so I understand there are many areas where we have to negotiate where we expect people to pay and areas where we will argue and come to an agreement. However when we feel our client doesn't play ball or acts unfairly, it means we put procedures in place to make sure it doesn't happen again, and we hold them to account on future payments as well. I suspect the EU and everyone else who wants a deal with us will act the same way, we will be seen as not wanting to pay our fair share.

If we owe the money, legally owe, not as some part of a 'gentlemans' agreement, not that any party involved could be described as gentlemanly. Then yes it ought to be paid.

I don't disagree. How much of the 39 billion is legally owed though? Why have they not told us? They must have a ball park number.

I think it's along the lines of international treaties. So we could for example withdraw from the Good Friday Agreement and no court could do anything. That's the thing with sovereign nations.

There’s degrees of hypocrisy. Taking a pension from an organisation whose life’s “work” and raison d’etre it is to undermine is about as shocking as it’s possible to get for hypocrisy. So Abbott sending her son to a private school is arguably hypocrisy, but a strong argument can be put to defend it. Farage’s only defence is to make up some nonsense about them trying to take it off him.

You just hate Farage. That's your perogative but he's no worse than the others. Me? Of all of the British politicians Corbyn is the one that sends chills down my spine. He is not only ecomically illiterate but a real danger to security. Choices fella... just choices and poor ones at that.

Nonsense. You are confusing the European Psrliament as a commercial firm, it isn't. If it has any claim at all to being a representative democracy, then like it or not Farage had and continues to fulfil his elected role properly. A sizeable number in the UK want to exit the EU and have wanted to for many years - Farage represents them. Frankly, paying him is rather more defendable than paying a good few other of our MEPs. Ms Abbott on the other hand represents a party who have a fundamental belief in state education. Most would be hard put to find any justification for her using the private system for her children. Her actions are true hypocracy.

The more I see of corbyn the less i like the man. As I have constantly stated it is better to have BJ running the country than risk it falling into the hands of the far left which little doubt will lead to bloodshed on a scale that will make even the london mayor sit up.
