EU Demands UK Pay Turkey for Migrants and All Brexit-Related Costs in Euros
Breitbart ^ | April 21, 2017 | Liam Deacon

The European Commission is plotting to force the UK into paying even more for Brexit, burdening Britain with all related divorce costs and risks, according to draft negotiating directives. The potentially huge bill must also be paid in euros rather than pounds, the European Union’s (EU) unelected executive arm said, meaning the UK will bear all the currency risk.

The list of demands sees little room for compromise; it includes the costs of relocating any EU institution and the UK’s share of a massive aid package given to Turkey in return for easing the migrant crisis.

“We screwed up, you can’t stand to be around us, here’s a bill for cleanup anyway.”

I’m sure the UK could come up with a counter-argument about the people who came through the Chunnel from France before they tightened things up. Or, maybe the EU and France what England to pay for the cleanup in Calais?

Saying “we’re taking in 3 million people despite your desire AND you have to pay for it”. That’s immoral.

Just stop and think how dirty politics are, even in foreign countries...

Can you just imagine trying to get out from under this evil mess and they try and hit you with something like that...

Reminds me all to well of what we are fighting here with the Clintons, Bushes and bami and how low our government corruption goes...

So, why would Britain not tell the EU to just go pound sand?

What’s their down side?

Well that’s a better ‘tactful’ way of putting it, compared to what I would tell them, and Turkey also...

Absurd to expect Brits to pay Turkey to keep out immigrants that it no longer has to accept.

I agree. They should tell the EU to stick it.

LOL! Permit me to get on the bandwagon as well. I demand that the UK pay my water bill.

And the EU is going to “force” UK to pay? How? EU has its own armed forces? UK should give EU the big middle finger and just move on.

Pissontheeu.

There is only one reasonable reply to outrageous demands like that.

Think of it as a divorce where one partner maxes out the credit cards before making the settlement. Sweet deal if you can get it.

Note to the EU: UK exit beautification project will be to leave Brussels a smoking hole in the ground - figuratively, of course. The UK needs to determine what actions it could take that would massively hurt the EU and offer not to do them in exchange for a no cost divorce.
