We Are Not Letting EU Go German Finance Minister Warns That Britain Could Still Be Paying
Daily Mail ^ | 11/18/16 | JAMES TAPSFIELD

Britain could be forced to write cheques to Brussels until 2030 despite leaving the EU, the German finance minister has warned.

Wolfgang Schauble delivered his blustering warning as Theresa May flew into Berlin for talks with Angela Merkel and other world leaders.

Mr Schauble said post-Brexit Britain would be bound by tax rules restricting it from granting incentives to keep investors in the country.

He also insisted there will be no special deal to curb freedom of movement if the UK wants to remain part of the common market.

Signalling that the bloc is determined to take a tough line in looming negotiations, Mr Shauble - a key ally of Mrs Merkel - said: 'Until the UK's exit is complete, Britain will certainly have to fulfil its commitments.

'Possibly there will be some commitments that last beyond the exit… even, in part, to 2030.'

Mrs May is expected to hold talks with Mrs Merkel and US president Barack Obama - who is on a farewell tour before handing over to Donald Trump in January - during her visit to Berlin.

The UK never voted to enter the E.U.....

Therefore, the E.U. DOES NOT have the consent of the people.

Germany and the E.U. have to accept the Brexit vote.

That means payments cease as soon as possible and not in 2030.

I’ve said it 3 or 4 times on this board, and I know it sounds nuts (which I am :)), but a third war in western Europe is not impossible in the next 20 years.

Which is exactly why we should be satisfied to pay 3.6% of our GNP for Europe’s safety.

It’s cheaper than a WWIII.

What the hell. Britain is gone and so are the EU laws. Now if the EU wants to trade for something that’s okay. But Britain is under no obligations. Trump is likely to do a trade deal with England. And that will likely force the EU to make deals with them as well. Fortunately for England they have the English speaking countries who are all friendly and successful trading parties. And most of them are still under some form of the British Empire.

Europe needs to experience the reality of their socialist and facist yearnings.

FM Wolfgang Schauble is not speaking to the world but to the population and getting ready for their next election required to be between 27 August and 22 October 2017 (the German Election Day must be a Sunday.) Since Chancellor Merkel’s ‘great success’ with the Islamic inflow has dropped her popularity rather considerably to a downward trending 35%.

They are looking for external factors to offset the internals that stink for them. BREXIT and Trump give them hope that they can serve as sufficient distractions. From now to the elections, such pronouncements should be regarded with considerable skepticism.

You would think they had seen the worst of what they seem to want to do. Makes no sense to me.

Well, the leopard that Isaiah was told represents one of four nations that will be on the earth in the last days had four heads. So, yeah, the 4th Reich as a continental power in the west.

With the other beasts this one is rolled into one in Revelation; however, Isaiah is clear that only the 4th beast / nation, which seems to be the seat of AC’s power in Revelation, will be utterly destroyed.

Pay us for a decade after you leave like alimony? That’s making a lot of Brits who didn’t support Brexit now do so.

There is definitely going to be some type of nastiness in Europe, and probably sooner rather than later, and its going to involve Islam.....
