Please stop talking about how denying the EU our £39b (over ten years) will get UK a better deal. It will get UK an "alright then, off you fuck". EU27 have an annual GDP of £15 TRILLION. Germany has £300b sitting in its current account. They can cover this from their coin jar.
It is not about the £39b and it never was. The same thing the UK has failed to understand over 45 years is still the thing that plagues its exit negotiating strategy: The EU is a rules-based organisation. The rules are supreme and will not be broken for a non-member.
The notion that this economic giant will compromise its internal cohesion, weaken the glue that holds it together, make longterm decision that can turn into existential challenges for f'kin pocket money, is possibly the most deluded one touted by Brexiters.
