The EU is paying them. It is an EU pension, after all, right?
The UK was a member till last year as well.

I already gave you quotes from Davis. Why is only one side gospel.
But their not now. The UK pensioners that are receiving EU pensions earned their pensions.The UK was a member till last year as well.

They earned their pensions, correct, that's why the UK government still needs to pay their agreed share for their citizens.
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.
Does the EU still exist? Are these pensions issued by the EU? Were these pensions promised by the EU? Were these pensions earned?
I'm not looking at any side, I'm looking at the number of UK retirees and expats living abroad in the EU, the average value of pensions, etc.
I don't need to look to someone else to tell me how to think.
One of the biggest reasons for the extortionate bill is the lack of contributions made by MEPs to their pension.
Retired MEPs are treated to a pension worth more than €17,000 for every five year term completed without any contributions.
Sir Bill Cash, Conservative MP for Stone and chairman of the Commons European scrutiny committee, stated that the government needs to show a greater resistance to “airy fairy” requests from the EU.
He said: “It is not in Britain’s national interest to make payments driven by the EU’s administrative largesse.
Extortionate pension number is about Eurocrats.

So what you're saying is that the link I gave you is peddling horseshit? Where is your counter link? If it shows the above is missing important info and fake news then it will show it and the huge sums are justified.Dude, UK has 250,000 retirees living abroad in EU countries, NOT counting Ireland.
I don't even have to talk about the politicians to get near the $40B figure.
Farage having an EU pension is disgusting and cynical. The EU is more than free to discontinue earned pensions that they promised. That won't create uncertainty for citizens of member nations.The EU member states all agreed to pay their share for their citizens.
Why should UK citizens and politicians be allowed to take their ball and go home and keep their pensions without paying for them?
Nigel fucking Farage has an EU pension ffs.

No. They've earned EU pensions. The EU is responsible for paying those pensions.What I'm saying is, while that may or may not be true, there are still hundreds of thousands of UK citizens living abroad that the UK government still needs to support.
No. They've earned EU pensions. The EU is responsible for paying those pensions.
I thought these were EU pensions.And the UK was a member of the EU while those citizens were contributing to the pensions, and the UK agreed to pay for their citizens pensions.
I thought these were EU pensions.
I thought they leave in 2020?UK was a member of the EU till last year.

What does that have to do with UK citizens earning EU pension?UK was a member of the EU till last year.
