German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned the U.K. on Saturday that it would have to pay a settlement to leave the EU. “This is about obligations that Great Britain has entered into and that naturally must remain on the books,” Merkel said in her weekly podcast published Saturday ahead of the latest round of talks next week, Bloomberg reported.
The divorce bill, or how much the U.K. should pay the EU upon leaving the bloc, is one of the most contentious issues in the Brexit talks. Estimates of the bill have ranged up to €100 billion.
And Poland demands from Germans €6 trillion - and Germans MUST pay.
Zachary Barnes
ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS
Leo Cox
But I thought anyone could exit the EU if they wanted to.
Nathaniel Richardson
We will collect the debt from you, Britfags. There is literally no escape from this anymore. We ruined Greece economically for decaded just to get our Euros back.
You will pay up.
Nolan Martinez
Comrade Corbyn will love this...
Ian Collins
come and collect faggot
Josiah Lopez
Whatever the UK wants out of these brexit talks won't happen.
Gavin Brown
This is good. Will force the Brits to stop soft-cocking the Brexit process and draw EU blood.
Samuel Rogers
Just try it you fucking frog piece of shit
Gavin Campbell
Wasn't Corbyn pro-Brexit? He should be, about time a good old fashioned Socialist opposed the NeoLiberal moloch of the EU.
Oliver Anderson
>demand Can't the brits just shit on that "demand"? Like, if they don't pay, will that automatically stop brexit from happening? Because I don't think so
Evan Gonzalez
she only said that because of the elections here in 4 weeks
Kayden Young
We get blitzed again by the Luftwaffe kek
We'll pay, but it wont be want they want or what we want either, thats a compromise.
We've gonna have to be dong a lot of compromising, I sometimes wonder if its really fucking worth it, I dont mind Europeans at all and i hate the narrative that we dont love Europe ffs, but we are controversial members of the EU, its always been awkward for us.
We had the maastricht and the lisbon treaty, sold to the British public as a wonderful thing, but it was a lie, we should have got a vote back then, now its just 10 x harder.
I blame Major, Blair and Cameron, all 3 fucked us with the EU, All Tory scum, yes Blair is a Tory.
Xavier Baker
The only people getting "btfo" are the ones who actually care about any of this shit. Who honestly gives a fuck about this? the people who really want to leave the EU, wont care, it will just reinforce there belief that the EU is shit. The ones who do care about the EU will just realise they`re trying to make an example out of us? Honestly its better to view brexit is as a bloke breaking up with his gf. He doesnt care and is just watching tv chilling out whilst his ex is crying and screaming and talking to her friends on fb about how she is going to ruin him. Its pathetic.
Parker Rivera
Don't make the UK angry or they will stop paying gibs to the Polish living off the British welfare.
You don't want 2 millions Polish coming in Germany to live off welfare, do you?
Carter Perry
Can't the UK just demand 100B in reparations or something? Muh Blitz and all?
Juan Cook
Well boys I guess we are going to have to save the world once again... Antifags night get a chance to live the meme.
Colton Green
You do know we still have military bases on your poisoned soil don't you Fritz? We wouldn't have to invade when we already still occupy you.
Sebastian White
Merkel touches Britain you then get America on your ass
Christian Reed
Because the UK already signed long term contracts in the EU E.g. invest in the polish food supply, uk share of $100k per year for 15 years
Jordan Richardson
present a bill and we'll consider it.
Tyler Reyes
Why the fuck does the UK even continue to put up with this shit. Its medieval bend the knee tier bullshit. Just exit the union, the common market, cut ties over the pettiness, and reforge deals with non-EU states. Have some fucking pride in yourself.
Blake King
Old news. The whole cabinet has already confirmed we will pay and beg for some transition deal ie open borders and ecj jurisdiction. Sad.
UK is simply going through what every man does when he wants to divorce a parasite wife
Kevin Sanders
Just like any EU country. So you're not allowed to leave as long as you have trade agreements, in a trading union?
Colton Foster
Sounds like a fucking bargain if that means you are out of their lives permanently
Christian Davis
100bn? pay you it over a 4 year transition period where we'll keep the customs union and single market access. only 25bn a year. Not that much more than we currently pay in then we're free.
Sebastian Cooper
It's just inner NWO politics, UK is in with the schemes but they don't want to be Germany's bitch like the rest of Europe.
Liam Reyes
How about we spend the €100B on something else and give you a close-up demonstration of what we've built?
Matthew Williams
Some of it is inevitable. Free movement for example ends March 2019.
Charles Edwards
We're not paying and krauts own Poland money.
Jose Bennett
He is. He did his bit as leader of a pro-remain party during the referendum but he wants out as much as anyone.
Chase Johnson
The increasing cost is becoming a meme. It will become cheaper just to go to war.
Jackson Butler
That's the point of the whole divorce bill All the long term stuff gets settled in one fell swoop
Also, UK does not want a trade/ real war with eu
Zachary Watson
Biggest benefit scroungers in the UK are the wealthy Boomers, not just with their over inflated pension, but all their BTL properties that they bought for fuck all and now charge OBSCENE rents for
Basically buy to let landlords are the scourge of the UK, we dont have the same rights as you do in France or Germany. So many people just horde property and sell it for more profit or rent and so it goes on, all our MP's have second homes, most of them more and Tony Blair has a 26m London property Empire, no doubt doing nice from the rents.
And who pays these rents, the taxpayer through housing benefit, so more money from the taxpayer to the Boomers.
They just cant lose, austerity was supposed to hurt the rich too, buts its not its made them richer.
they need to be very careful. Its just shit, you cant buy a home here now, you just cant.
in the 90's a 2 bed flat was £60k, average wage was £18k now a 2 bed flat is £170k average wages is £22k and everything else has gone up too, food, beer, fags.
Its not fun being poor in a rich country, haha rch my fucking ass we are, some are rich, most of us are in poverty.
Ayden Roberts
Debt? If anything you owe US money; whatever money we 'got' in return was pocket money you told us where to spend while you creamed off the majority of profit. We got fuck all from you except retarded laws, red tape and damaged industries. No, the only debt we'll be fulfilling is sending ALL your refugees back. We also want NHS paybacks for having to treat all your health tourists.
Anthony Howard
so it came down from the 700 bil figure they wanted and im sure before the negotiations are over it will be more like 54 bil
Asher Hall
It's already cheaper, a Trident SLBM only costs €60M.
Ryan Lopez
transition deal that will be time limited. I'm sure 4 years was mentioned as a maximum transition period.
Chase Jackson
Will Germany ever just fuck off ?
Dylan Rogers
The whole reason to have sovereignty and nuclear weapons is not to have to pay off protection fees from Mafias like the EU
Liam Sanders
That's less money than Obama gave Iran to destroy Israel.
Caleb Bailey
The Brits are going to remind the Germans that we cut there debt in half after the second world war. Check mate bitch.
Jace Harris
Anglos will pay with blood.
Anthony Thomas
no, you are our bitch now and if you dont do what we want we will fuck you in the ass.
John Scott
pay nothing
Jonathan Ramirez
>hello, I've invested in a project for 2 years and I'd like to cancel any further investment, can I get the money I invested back? seeing that I'll not receive the benefits of the end product >no, and you'll have to pay any future investment right now if you cancel >hurrhurrr this is logical Uhhhh I doubt it. Pretty sure the anglos will tell them to fuck off and laugh their asses off.
Juan Morgan
4 years of mass immigration and rapefugees le based tories
Logan Gray
france has nukes too my friend
Ian Rodriguez
We want the EU to collapse. The Eternal Anglo always gets what he wants.
Matthew Thomas
Versailles treaty 2.0
Daniel Martin
Same thing happening to Poland and such EU will whine Then collapse
Christopher Smith
German blood isn't worth that much.
Julian Phillips
>Terms of withdrawal now involve full on economic punishment They should agree the terms in the Versailles palace while they're at it.
Jackson Wilson
merkel is not an eu official, all bark...no bite
Owen Morales
Problem solved. Back to the pub, chaps!
Jace Ramirez
Sounds fair. After that you cannot play muh ww2 card anymore.
Christian Miller
Yes actually, seeing through a contract you put your signature on is very logical.
Dylan Morales
Who is getting that 100 bil and what did they do to earn it?
Ryan Long
and Poland demands 1 trillion USD for WW2 reparations, and all art pieces stolen by germans now fuck off, you won't get any english money before you pay us
Unless the contract has a clause of canceling it. Why do you even pretend that people are allowed to leave the eu if you have no intention of letting them leave?
Mason Morales
Meanwhile the UK is pushing the US away because muh racism.
Dylan Bailey
We won't pay. West Germany had paid 2.1 billion Mark when reparations were declared finished in 1953. The much weaker East German economy paid 99.1 billion Mark because it was occupied by Soviet Russia.
Maybe Poland can ask Putin if they get their share from him.
Parker Ortiz
not going to happen
Lucas Stewart
It might be more entertaining (and cheaper) if we just gave Poland a couple of nukes and let them decide how they want things to play out. Possibly, one for Hungary while we're at it.
Jeremiah Young
>Make up bullshit >Lol u gotta pay Is the EU stupid? Serious question.
Dominic Cox
Merkel is a Commie whore! there are pics of her marching in commie uniform next to east German Stasi!
Zachary Phillips
And if the EU violated the terms and treaties first? It was originally meant to be a trading union block, not an authoritarian political mafia where you're forced to take rapefugee quotas.
Jack Wright
>Why do you even pretend that people are allowed to leave the eu if you have no intention of letting them leave? To lure more victims in ofc
Mason Sanchez
>next to other east German Stasi! FTFY
Jace Johnson
Why do you expect that saying "I quit" is enough to instantly void all contracts you signed? You either see them through and then lose obligations as they run their course and eventually you'll be fully "out" of the EU - or we have these talks and figure out a way to get you out a little more clear-cut.
Honestly I don't understand why you make it sound like either side is being ridiculous, the whole thing has been pretty sensible so far.
Hunter Peterson
>Brexit risks pushing UK out of European space contracts >The European Commission is demanding the right to cancel existing contracts without penalty if a supplier is no longer based in an EU member state.
You dont deserve to benefit to long term EU commitments as your leaving
>This is about obligations that Great Britain has entered into
Boo Hoo, you have to pay £100b as you have long term commitments to the EU, you cant just leave them without penalty
FUCK THE EU
Carter Hall
operation sealion when?
Alexander Miller
The UK shouldn't pay to help expedite the destruction of the EU.
Germany will stand alone. Burdened by onerous bills and leach sucking "migrants" who will drain the country dry.
The EU doesn't have an army that can enforce its will. It should suffer and die.
Cooper Walker
Blockade Germany. Make Merkel bend the knee.
Nathan Phillips
How is NHS doing up there, guys? ^^
Andrew Wright
> sign contracts > leave contracts early > expect not to be held accountable
Are you stupid?`Serious questions.
Jordan Gonzalez
Or what? Gonna put sanctions on an ally that is big business for your companies? Gonna invade and make a third world war to lose at again?
Michael Green
>implying we will pay Lol. And the funny thing is you couldn't go to war with us because you would get rekt. Remember Trump is on our side on the EU talks he's also giving us a trade deal EU btfo
Jeremiah Sanders
Cause it fucking is enough you nigger
Evan Walker
Nah, they quit and cancel any ongoing contracts or renegotiate them. Anything else is inane and stupid to even consider.
Jaxon Bailey
>implying you won't nice delusions cuck, now pay up.
Gabriel Fisher
Try quitting your apartment like that, see what happens.
Isaac Lee
>I blame Major, Blair and Cameron Who would you have had instead?
Blake Ramirez
>implying the UK has to pay What are they going to do? Go to war?
Thomas Fisher
Ok, I'll get my two months worth of rent caution back and I'll go look for a next one. Your point?
William Gutierrez
We're walking away from the (near-intangible) 'benefits' of those contracts too. If you want want to get into a dispute over who owes who what then you'll quickly find that you're the ones very much indebted to us (unless you're happy with us ripping up large swathes of European infrastructure).
As it stands, you're just imposing retroactive terms in an attempt to scare the shit out of anyone else who might think about leaving your little international hostage situation.
Leo Adams
Shit we signed up to like mending Polish roads, building ports in Lithuania or some shit.
And of course paying for unelected presidents.
I didnt mind the EU as a buying group for trade, but when the EURO came out i got worried, a political currency union is more than a common market, we could not sign up.
Like a cancer the EU has infected all aspects of our life, but we will untangle ourselves once we do we will have a team of top class negociaters, brand new deals.
The EU is going to have to do the same becuase there will be a UK sized hole in their buying power, if i was trading with the EU, i would highlight that and push for new deals, better deals.
And wtf is this army meme, its true too they want an Army fucking kek, if i was a conspiracy theorist i would start sounding the alarms bells.
unelected power at the head of a European sized army, and why do they need an Army? The migrant crisis? now would be a good time to say they needed one, the Italians and Greeks and Spanish are just letting them in, teethless to do anything about these niggers coming to their lands, OUR LAND
Just.... hand me a fucking rifle sometimes.
Hudson Moore
We'll take them.
Any good white man would be willing to take 60 million eastern euros (as long as they're 100IQ+). We'll need them to replace the illegals we're booting, as well as to offset our other brown populations. In return, we'll give Germany every brown person willing to renounce US citizenship for their plea bargain/probatiin/parole/commuted sentence, and all the muzzies.
Joseph Wood
The jew's banks are in uk . You can't do nothing against the jews.
Ryan Price
>the country that left the most left-wing organisation on the planet are the cucks >the country that no longer has to take in refugees is the cuck
How's those 1million refugees treating you?
Justin Sanchez
Any Labour politician.
Jaxon Morales
He's unlikely to be liable for the extension the landlord was planning to build using his rent.
