    Although imho we should pay him in 1 Euro coins, inserted rectally, and stop paying when he screams loud enough. Or maybe add on a 10% tip...
    Wrong as usual. The 100 million guesstimate came from the FT. Is there anything you get right?
    Hard Brexit now!

      It was leaked to the FT by the EU. Your ball...

        Would that be the same type of leak that stains your underwear brown?
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          Any EU country wishing to leave, as the UK is, now needs the unanimous consent of every other EU country.

          Is this true? Has the EU effectively sealed the exit, so all other EU countries are trapped with no possibility of escape?
          Just some paranoid right wing fake news.

            Oh I see, in the absence of an intelligent contribution you resort to the incontinence gags. Hilarious, I'm sure.
            You really should think about growing up, or preferably shutting up. Or you could move back to the UK, and then you'd have the right to an opinion. Until then, remember, opinions are just like arseholes. Everyone has one, but most of us don't give a sh*t about anyone else's.

                You basically just explained your whole existence...Now where is this proof that Juncker leaked it or are your like the rest of the crazies and make tulip up and then believe it? Put up or shut up

                  No it wasn't. The FT did their own calculations based on various scenarios that the EU could use but haven't committed to yet, and came up with a range of figures from the estimate £60bn originally quoted to £113bn which is the headline they ran with.

                  Estimates of Britain’s Brexit bill are highly variable because they include assumptions on Britain’s exit date, its proper share of contributions, UK receipts such as its budget rebate or EU investment spending, and the type of liabilities it is expected to honour. European diplomats consider this flexibility as helpful in reaching a deal.

                    I can't prove it, but a combination of "EU sources" and an EU think-tank whose name I shamefully can't remember with their dabs all over it give the game away somewhat (declaration - I know people in the journo world, and they openly refer to the FT as the mouthpiece of the EU). Make no mistake, anything that appears in the press (British or German - and that's no coincidence) has come straight from Juncker's team, most likely from the German bloke who is Juncker's right hand man. And no, I can't be arsed to look his name up either. I'll call him "Martin the crazy Kraut" for now. How's that?
