Seems so. They reckon the UK's arrogant for even daring to question it or mention what the UK might be owed.

One thing's for certain, once it's done and dusted, no longer will be paying ££££££££££££'s into the EU every year just for the privilege of having them dictate ever more aspects of our lives.

No matter what the likes of Tusk and Juncker like to pretend, there'll be a great many serious business leaders in Germany, France etc. who won't want to see a major expert market disappear and they'll be having their say in private. What the UK mustn't do it let the sad scaremongers amongst us dictate how they play their hand.

This is opening salvo time and no credence should be too heavily given at this point it's bluster time, both sides have strengths and weaknesses and over the coming months it will be that which forms the basis but the UK's position is absolutely nowhere near as weak as some posters on here represent it as.

Spot on!

Remoaners may beg to differ though.

But their position is supine at it's most aggressive.

I've been trying to think up a punchy strap line for the negotiations and the best I can come up with is Liberté, égalité, fraternité.

It's a previously used but long forgotten phrase.

Can't we update that a bit, perhaps something from a film like "we'll make them an offer they can't refuse or we're as mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore"

Lol. It's going to be quite a dry time on the news front so we need more funny videos like this one, from whatever viewpoint.

Not at all. Depressed perhaps, since if we'd have voted to reamin then the subsumation of the UK into the EU would have accelerated.
I'd have sold up and emigrated.

I fear the tone as an opening gambit a tad aggressive, we should keep that in reserve if the negotiations go bad

Exactly. The Europhiles would have made damned sure that the UK would never again have had the chance to leave their club.

Well it'd be typically arrogant of us not to. We really shouldn't want our own identity or to cling on to the offensive vestiges of the past. We are an irrelevance and the best we can hope for is that the glorious EU will save us from ourselves just as it's saved the Greeks.
