But the UK does not want a border, and Eire does not want a border. The vindictive EU is trying so hard to make this a problem.

How much would it cost to stay?
Euronyme
You can't really ask that. The free trade and inner market of the EU contributes WAY more. Especially to the UK (1/2)

(2/2) the banking sector is HUGE in the EU, and will pretty much entirely move abroad after brexit.

Pretty much exactly what remain said we'd have to do to get out and no-one believed them. TBF they made a lot of doom predictions though.

Am I getting downvoted by brexiters for being remain? Or remainers for not being positive about the Remain Campaign? So much for nuance.
Thatannoyinggit
A lot of those are coming true

A lot but not all and not quite as severely. Which gives Brexiteers wiggle room to ignore it now it's happening. Don't get me wrong I was /1

SJohnson23
Leavers: “We won’t pay a penny! They can go whistle! Easiest trade deal ever! No deal is better than a bad deal!”
DinoKebab
No deal technically is better than a bad deal. If you were selling your house worth £300K and I offered you £1 would you take it?
SJohnson23
If the alternative was that I'm kicked out of the house, the bank repossesses it and pursues me for all payments owing then £1 is better.
SJohnson23
No deal means we are screwed on levels that people have barely begun to comprehend yet. Throw a stick and whatever it hits, that's screwed.
DinoKebab
But that isn't what No deal is. No deal is more like you get to stay in your house maybe decide to redecorate and sell to someone else.
CptCameltoe
This is just not true ffs... EU hopes they will pay, but if not accord is found, britain leaves. Period.

Then they will pay dearly later on. High barriers for trade with the EU will be a bitch.

I always the SNP got over-represented in 2015. 56 seats on 4.7% of the vote, while Lib Dems and UKIP got barely anything on a bigger vote.

I am Pro remain, but Britain dosn't pay 50BN to get out. This is money they had already comitted to paying while in the EU before leaving
Feralblowfish
Yeah it's much more than that the cost to the economy has already gone over 100BN and we have not even left yet
TheRealHMint
Sure, but before they paid it into the EU while being in the EU, so they got a lot of it back. Now they pay it and then get out, so its gone
DeeDoubleYu
Sorry can you explain a bit more, I voted remain but I'd never heard of this.
Lord0Trade
But why pay the money if you're getting none of the benefits?
boingboingboingboing
Yeah they just don't get to fuck the eu put of 50B then negotiate to trade
radu1337
Well, the original message on that buss wasn't any more real either.

There isn't any set answer about what we "committed to pay" so it's all open to negotiation
mdzmdz
If we were a net beneficiary I bet they wouldn't keep paying us what they'd committed to.
RedDwarfIV
Yeah. While May could have leveraged a much better deal for the UK, this is not money that would have previously been spent on the UK.

You're not wrong - but a FTD and FiPass benefit the EU too - rather then the EU just wanting cash to spend on the EU.

kirmes
Bullshit. She's a greedy emperor who seeks power. You should take a close look.
DaCrazyBeggar

Arrests made for xenophobic facebook posts in Germany. "Free"
Corrodias
"Free" is not the same as "anarchistic", unless that's your ideal of freedom, in which case, kindly do it somewhere else.

Volksverhetzung is illegal since the whole Nazi mess it is is trying to be better

Unfortunately doesn't have the links, but:
(I can send you the links if you want but it's a pain in the ass)
Pandastic69
It's called Volksverhetzung and is illegal since like 70 years ago free speech is fine rallying people to your racist cause is not
SirKhan
And that's a damn fine thing
DrYoloMcSwagmasterIIIEsq
Arguably, laws like it helped the Nazis gain support before they took power, but whatever
grklein
You know those laws exist to prevent another nazi like event, right?
JustAnotherFurry
right now she can't even manage to form a goverment. She is on a sinking ship.
HY8world
The german government is unable to form a coalition, merkel is not responsible for that
JustAnotherFurry
Actually yes she is. She fucked over the SPD in the last Coalition several times and burned the once great relationship with the fdp by 1/?
JustAnotherFurry

IDontLikePancakes
This is such a stupid statement.
Factreeo
Why? because you don't agree?
IDontLikePancakes
No, because A/ it is a common political situation, which cannot be reduced to a lack of ability to do something and B/ her support is steady

Possibly. Probably even. Certainly more powerful and influential than Trump. And soooooooo much smarter, but that bar's pretty low.
Huhwhatcrazy
He has headed the wrong direction for freedom. Closing borders to people and trade
SeriousBusinessman
Also let’s remember that he’s a “leader” in only the strictest terms of the position of the government, not in any ideological way
NotTheSharpestSpoonInTheDrawer
Technically incorrect. He has followers. Stupid followers, but followers none the less.
SeriousBusinessman
Yea that’s true. Depends on your definition of leader i guess. Does having followers make you a leader or do you need actual convictions
SeriousBusinessman
I’m not arguing for either, just a thought
Satherian
Yeah, it's not hard to be smarter than the president now
Sinjai
I miss Obama. Say what you will about his policies, but I've never heard about him being anything less than respectful and honorable.
Sinjai
I remember his speech after the 2016 election. People started booing after he mentioned Trump and he said "no, no, this is a peaceful 1/2
MDavidsonJutland
Yes as a person he was nice. You could disagree about his politics. But as a person he was kind and helpful.
