Farage is strong? Hahahahaha.
If you think of it in terms of contract. It kinda makes sense.WTF is this? A divorce bill? Apparently Theresa May has agreed to hand over 40 billion pounds of tax payer money to leave the EU....
This is beyond ridiculous.
Did the soviet countries pay a "divorce bill" when they left the USSR? No, they just took their power back.
This talk of a divorce bill is a scam and Theresa May is naive and weak for even thinking complying with it.
That's debatable depending on your pov. The fact that the leave side had absolutely no plan in place if they won is more than incredibly stupid, it's Trump like.Its almost like Brexit was incredibly stupid
Why should they pay to a pension fund of an organization that they are no longer a member of?There is no extortion going on here, UK is only required to pay what they've previously agreed to pay and for their share of the EU pension fund.
Why should they pay to a pension fund of an organization that they are no longer a member of?
Could you clarify? Did these UK retirees in their pensions in the UK? If so, then they should be collecting pensions from the UK.Because their citizens are still going to draw from the pension, including Farage himself.
More UK retirees live abroad in the EU than the entire EU has retirees in the UK.
Could you clarify? Did these UK retirees in their pensions in the UK? If so, then they should be collecting pensions from the UK.
They will get fucked up over when it comes to trade between UK and EU, not by some fantasy war if they refuse to pay.Tell the EU to suck your fucking dick.
The US will come help you if German Hillary Merkel tries to get feisty and run shit.
France is already a lost cause.
Any of this sound familiar?
Why?They have EU pensions..
Why?
'They put the kitchen sink in' David Davis rages at EU's 'RIDICULOUS' divorce bill demand.
The Brexit secretary insisted there was no legal obligation for the UK to pay sums for EU projects after leaving the bloc, even those approved while the UK was a member, but conceded there were “moral or political” reasons to reach a financial settlement.
David Davis claims that £40 billion Brexit ‘divorce bill’ is ‘made up’.
Davis said, ‘Things like pensions and other things, these are debatable to say the least,’ he said in an interview with BBC One’s The Andrew Marr Show.
So they earned their EU pensions. The UK leaving the EU should have no effect on that. And those UK pensioners receiving EU pensions that they earned should have no effect on whether or not the UK should be held liable.I'm not sure if you remember, but until last year UK was a member of the EU.
UK citizens took advantage of this, joined EU companies or worked for the state, or the EU bureaucracy, and earned EU pensions.
Also, being part of the EU, when UK 'expats" now, formerly just EU citizens, moved to other countries they would get access to EU pensions that way as well.
So they earned their EU pensions.
The divorce bill was first about EU subsidies in farming and such shit, now "pensions" is everyone's favorite word like that's 40billy.
Leftists here so smug and high horse like any and everything the EU says is set in stone and gospel. Look at what the guy involved is saying:
You have to honor commitments. You don't accept huge sums the opposition demands. Once again the left so sure of themselves.
The EU is paying them. It is an EU pension, after all, right?And the UK state needs to honor their agreement to pay for them, correct.
I already gave you quotes from Davis. Why is only one side gospel.Even if the UK state was responsible for just 1/4 the value of the pensions for their self created expats, it would be over $50B.
