      Obviously the Irish will the heed the advice of a Brexiteer right wing UK based think tank.

        Well, the ones in the North will, provided you pay them £1billion from the magic money tree
        In the South you have the two houses, totalling 218 politicians, so that would be £21.8billion to buy them off, that is, of course, over 2 years. So we'll call that £10.9billion a year, or roughly £2.3billion a year more than the net EU payment.
        Sounds like a bargain, a free trade deal with one country, instead of 27, and it costs the country over 2 billion a year more than we're currently paying.
        …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          Hmm. So we can the use our thriving economy to slowly pick off existing EU members one at a time, and force them to join our trade block instead. Ten years time, with the accelerating wealth that we have gained from Brexit, we'll have bought over 26 of the other EU nations, and the old EU will end up as Germany all by itself - we will have engineered a Deutscxit, which perhaps turns out to have been our secret masterplan after all.

          Makes as much sense as anything I've seen from David Davis.

            Italy would be the most expensive at £47billion a year, followed by France at £46billion.

            This is just like playing Risk.

              Thrashing around looking for evidence that other countries also want to leave in the hope of getting some solace of comfort just ain't happening.

                  Why should it? It's sucking up all the UK business that's leaving due to Brexit.

                  The IFSC in Dublin is booming.....
