Britain will have to pay a very hefty bill to leave the European Union and negotiating a new relationship with the bloc will take years, European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker warned today (21 February).
Prime Minister Theresa May hopes to trigger the Brexit negotiations by the end of March following the shock referendum in June last year. [ ]

Ya sure Brussells ...pay next tuesday...
A lot of threats coming from the EUSSR’s mouthpiece.
Sounds like Extortion...
So who is going to enforce the Brits to pay that Bill.
May and Trump are going to tell him to pound sand.
The UK should post date a check: 1-1-2100
pound sand EU
Right! That EU army is going to collect the bill. ;-)
I see no problem, as long as Britain can pay the bill in Muslims.
Why pay anything ?
Just step away...
Then if they’re bluffing, the bluff ought to be called. They’ve been threatening nonstop ever since 06/23/16.
If May were in any way like Thatcher, that ought to be the response.
EU might be hit with a hefty “kiss my arse”.
Sounds to me as if they’re making up exit penalties as they go. They need to cite chapter and verse of the EU constitution, laws and regulations current at the time of the Brexit vote, that permit such a thing, or go pound sand.
They, all of them sure didn’t help financially when the Nazi’s invaded. Now, the are de facto members of the Fourth Reich. esad Adolf Merkel.
Good grief, what a P_O_S!
Junker sounds like a hostage taker. What’s he going to do if the Brits say,”Kiss my a##!”? He can’t lock up millions of Englishmen.
Can’t the British just tell the EU to go pi$$ up a crooked rope?
Britain should bill these EUniks for liberating them.
So should we.
