Cable Forum - Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !

'Forget Remain vs Leave, it's patriots against EU!' Malone SAVAGES Juncker in on-air rant

Carole Malone has said that Jean-Claude Juncker completely changed the debate around Brexit negotiations this week.

In an incredible and impassioned rant on Sky News' The Pledge, Malone said the EU "has tried to discredit this country in the most appalling way".

"It’s people who are on the side of this country and people who side with the EU!"

It would seem Juncker is determined to make this a nasty process

Yes, they want 100bn (£100,000,000,000) of them from us 'irrelevant' British apparently.

What's the betting they try to up the ante further by claiming that it's the old British billions* they're demanding. :spin:

:D

* 1 GB billion = 1,000,000,000,000

================================================== =============

I'm wondering when Juncker's going to blame Brexit for this too:

The hedge fund manager may not lose too much sleep over the paper losses however - he still has around £775m in the bank.

To be fair, I (and probably most others) thought that the economy would slump.....and it may yet happen :shrug:

Have I got this right? He made a bet against what he believed in?
If I understood that right, the word 'fool' comes to mind.

He believed the economy would suffer swiftly after a favourable Brexit vote so to give him his due, he acted on his beliefs. The twist in the tale was that he was pro-Brexit.

That's the way I read it. I voted to leave even though I was expecting to be financially poorer for it (and may yet be).

But he is a Hedge Fund Manager- his job is to hedge against these sort of things.... ;)

:D

Anyway, I bet the armies of lawyers feasting on all this won't have any problem enforcing their hefty bill for all the work they're going to have to do unravelling the complicated matters other lawyers put in place.

But maybe a few seeming to get a little excited about the prospect of it though, because it suits their negative Brexit agenda? I'm probably wrong though ;)

Nah, they mentioned it because they were implying we wouldn't have to pay it at all... :D
