Basically until the UK agrees to pay them what they think they're due, regardless of
whether anyone else thinks this is fair or not, they're not going to negotiate on
anything else.

This was the fait accompli which Davis was presented with on Monday morning.

If you read the article some of the sums being mentioned as compo are simply staggering
i.e 100 billion

It's maybe no wonder a lot of people are trying to play this down.

So the EU position is "Pay us 100 billion or you have to stay in our cartel (club or
whatever)"?

Any sane person would treat this as a wind up or insanity.

Hardly. This has been on the cards, since before the
referendum.

According to them, us leaving will cost them 10 billion
per annum. Which without looking it up, may well correspond
with the figure many were suggesring as the amount the
UK would save per year, by leaving.

Then they're further claiming that its going to take them
a good 10 years to get over the initial shock.

Basically if they hired a good divorce lawyer to argue
their case they might even get it up to 30 years.

With the UK paying their costs, on top.
