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

Posted on 04/21/2017 11:18:43 AM PDT by HarleyLady27

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.

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

If it was good enough for General McAuliffe ...

US experienced much the same when BO’B confiscated our $, bought hollow point bullets, weapons, Judges, in order to silence US when we did not agree with him.

Evil around the world, it spreads and has no limits.

Nein, Nichts, Adieu

Probably just assume EU-related pensions and unemployment compensation for UK citizens.

The EU agency people owning British real estate will be making a killing, far more than any relocation costs.

Also:
1. EU citizen workers in UK who made 2016 UK income tax payments can stay, without UK subsidies.

2. UK workers on Continent who made 2016 Continental income tax payments can stay, without Continental subsidies.

3. Those workers can participate in the health systems of their host country.

4. Continental/UK real property owners will retain year around residency rights to their current UK/Continental property.

Germany created the magnet for the migrants, so Germany alone and no other EU member should pay their costs.

EU participants are insane. This is going to cause a war.

When Britain tells them to go pound sand what do they plan to do?

Fine. Bill the EU for all the costs of housing their migrants.

Britain should simply sever totally effective tonight at 0000 hrs. It can be done and will ultimately be cheaper, sooner, and a lot less complicated. I suspect that the PM and the establishment class will make it as difficult and onerous as possible in order to get another vote to reverse Brexit. Or they may use the negotiations and wrangling to essentially stay in the EU but change the names of some things, sort of like what the Republicans are determined to do with Obamacare. If Brexit is successfully sabotaged I expect Britain will lose the pound in the process and will turn over its financial control entirely to the EUSSR Central Committee.

Everything about the EU is immoral. England only has to accept this crap if they desire to accept it.

I think this is why the ‘election’ that P.M. May is doing...so she can go about her agenda...she did the 50 day thing...

Wonder why Farage is not getting involved???

Unfortunately, the people involved in the negotiations for Britain are all Urophiles and will do what they can to force Britain to reverse Brexit and to transfer as much money to the EU as possible in the process. England’s Establishment is much like America’s Establishmet- they have no love for their country and would destroy it in a flash if it would make them some money.

Note from Ms May to the EU - at the appropriate time - “go pound sand, and cut off your nose to spite your face as you do; we will not be blackmailed”.

“...potentially huge bill must also be paid in euros rather than pounds...”

demanding payment in euros could turn out to be really funny.

Like Weimar Germany demanding to be paid in Weimar Republic Marks

If anyone thinks Erdogan is going to keep his word and NOT release millions more Muslims on European soil if he gets what he wants is a fool. The second the check clears he’ll open the flood gates.

I don’t know why the Brits don’t just say “piss off” and sever all ties to the EU. Trump should offer the UK MFNS on trade and make an immediate deal with them. Beyond that, I’d tell the French and the Germans, if they persist in effing with the UK, they can expect trade sanctions. Just wonder what the Krauts would say if we cut off Porsche/AUDI, Mercedes, and BMW from importing their vehicles ( and I do know that they built some, but not all of their cars here). As for France, California has better wine AND cheese. I can’t think of another product France produces that we should give a damn about if they won’t leave Britain alone. Maybe White Flags?
