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)"?

But the 100 billion was just a down payment wasn;t it.
They are just like any other blackmailer.

We were the country which flounced out of the EU without checking on what
it might cost first. If the EU can calculate any monies owed after we
leave, so can we and query them if inaccurate.


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

I'd chage them rent on the EU buildings we helped to pay for.

Excellent. But not pay for the running costs?

100 Billion a day excluding VAT of course. If they don't like it
what will they do knock them down ?

Because you 'helped pay' for something doesn't mean you own the whole
thing.
