BRITAIN has a “legal obligation” to settle the £39billion Brexit bill, even if the UK leaves without a divorce deal, the European Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs Pierre Moscovici said.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has repeatedly suggested that if Britain leaves without a deal, it will no longer owe the divorce bill agreed by his predecessor Theresa May. However, Mr Moscovici said withholding the payment was not an option. Mr Moscovici told Europe 1 radio: “The British will have to settle their [membership] contributions, and their financial contributions in all circumstances, regardless of whether there’s a deal or a no deal.

Am I right if I say the EU is solely interested in OUR money

IT will be interesting to know how he worked that out if we do leave without a deal on the 31st of October, it was always understood that nothing was agreed until everything was agreed.

I don’t think we will be negotiating this divorce bill, I think the EU financial minister should get a taste of the medicine we have had to take over the past 3 years, from the EU leaders and powers that be! I say sing for it!

SAYS WHO

Two fingers to that

Or what!

Really? GO WHISTLE!

TELL YOU WHAT! JUST AS SOON AS THE UK RECIEVES THE £3.6 TRILLION GERMANY OWES US IN UNPAID WAR REPARATIONS MAYBE WE WILL LOOK AT PAYING YOU A COUPLE OF BILLION FOR THE PLEASURE OF LEAVING YOUR INSIDEOUS CLUB!!

'Suck my chunks' is the likely response

The legal liability is circa 10b, rest of 39b so often spoke about is goodwill. This tale of pay or not to pay is going to get very interesting as any shortfall in the billions ultimately paid will be severely detrimental to the EU and their expenditure plans
