Not sure they read your words of wisdom, sir.

EU diplomats have hit out at Britain’s failure to agree it must pay a hefty financial settlement for Brexit, suggesting the controversy will “stall” the talks.
The second round of the negotiations appeared to have run into trouble within 24 hours of resuming in Brussels, over the vexed issue of the so-called “divorce bill”
Michel Barnier, the EU’s chief negotiator, was preparing to tell the British side that the negotiations served little purpose until Britain engaged seriously with the issue of payments.

You might think so but in 2017, for easy reference hard copy is king in court and other meetings. No one wants to tell the judge to hang on as the wifi's playing up! How many words in a megabyte doesn't cut the mustard.

Have the EU given proof that the hefty amount they are demanding is a justified and accurate amount? They need to produce the figures justifying the amount.

It's quite easy if you plan to leave with no deal.

There’ll be an ‘EXPLOSION’ Barnier warns of EU meltdown if Britain doesn't pay Brexit bill
In comments likely to provide a boost to British officials the bloc’s chief negotiator warned there would be total chaos across the continent with thousands of publicly financed programmes having to be scaled down or scrapped.
The Frenchman’s candid remarks came in newly published transcripts of evidence he gave before the House of Lords EU Committee, which grilled him during at a special meeting convened in the Belgian capital last week.

Maybe they should have thought about all that when David Cameron tried to reason with them before the referendum and was told to do one. Typical EU arrogance and intransigence.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
Interesting thought piece on a UK-US trade deal from Sky News. My thought is that Trump may not be around when we leave the EU!
Quote:
The US president sees the world as a zero sum game. He wins, others lose.
Of course, in the world of "Yes, but", there are those who will say he has a soft spot for the UK because his mother was Scottish and he has a golf course there.
But he used to like Jeff Sessions as well.
The man he called "a great guy", "the gold standard", "a man of integrity, a man of principle and a man of total, utter resolve" became the man, appointed as Attorney-General by him, who he subjected to the most remarkable presidential bullying.
So, Trump's your best mate until it is not in his interest.
And what is Trump's priority from any trade deals anyway?
He campaigned - and won the election - on among other things, creating jobs for American workers. He continues to rail against countries he believes have been ripping off the US over trade for years.
Why should we think he will suddenly sign off the sort of win-win he doesn't believe exists?
A couple of weeks ago Trump told the world that his favourite word is "reciprocity". We haven't yet seen the evidence that he also likes the concept.
And all of this assumes we can take any Trump statement at face value. Not long ago, the New York Times filled a full broadsheet page with tiny print of what they referred to as "Trump's Lies".
Dismiss that as the failing/fake/mainstream media as you will, and as Trump's supporters do, but there has been enough contradiction in his tweets to make us all wonder what he actually does believe.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
Still not clear what that entails.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-40774251
Quote:
But amid claims of splits in cabinet, No 10 has moved to make clear free movement will end when the UK leaves.
It said: "It would be wrong to suggest it... will continue as it is now."
Downing Street's move followed days of uncertainty over future immigration policy during any transitional phase after Brexit.
The PM's spokesman said plans for a registration system for migrants arriving after March 2019 had been set out last week, and Prime Minister Theresa May had raised, as long ago as January, the prospect of a transition period before the post-Brexit system was implemented.

It won't continue 'as it is now' but will it stop? Many EU countries already have a registration system that is compatible with freedom of movement. Is that all we're talking about? Or are they going to demand applications for Visas?
