Just a question of how long it takes for the leavers to change their mind. I am sure most will as it becomes obvious how completely stuffed the UK is going to be.

All this about the "EU getting tough" is no more than a very predictable negotiation stance. The gravy faced idiots who run the EU will back down in due course. Any attempt to damage the UK is also an attempt to damage the EU. As has already been pointed out by European business leaders.

Your prediction about Leave voters changing their minds is just your opinion. I happen to think the opposite.

The value of trade to the UK and the rest of the EU—we exported about £230 billion worth of goods and services to the rest of the EU in 2015, according to UK data, while the rest of the EU exported somewhere around £290 billion to us. These figures differ if you use EU data. What this means is that the rest of the EU sells more to us than we sell to it.
Now bear in mind that some of the £230 billion goes through Rotterdam and counts in the figure although the goods are in fact going elsewhere and not staying in the E.U . So in fact the gap is wider.
The politicians can be as hard as they like , they can take their stance but as soon as their major businesses see things turning against them the attitude will change .
Don't panic chaps the negotiations are just beginning.
We are unique in the motor industry and VW , BMW , Mercedes, Opel , Renault , Citroen , Peugeot etc have special production lines specifically to cater for right hand drive cars , they will be loathe to close that business down , the waste of machinery and manpower will have a bad effect on all their bottom lines. Eventually they will bring pressure on their politicians to alter their stance.
It is a business deal if both parties wish it , there will be a settlement with give and take both ways. If one party doesn't wish to make compromise then we walk away and let those companies badly affected find away to retain their market shares.

It says a lot that mouth breathers like Gunner Rob will happily side with the EU and their propaganda over their own country. They are actually happy that the EU are making unrealistic demands to try and score points.

Its all about negotiations Rob..... they start at 100 billion we start at nothing and we get somewhere in between. They need our money as much as we need anything of theirs.

Dont get all hysterical about every little new report, they only tell you what they want you to know anyway

I thought that you leavers didnt want to pay anything?

when the figure was £50 billion you leavers were outraged.
now because the bill has gone up to £100 billion you suddenly think that £50 billion is an ok figure to pay

bottom line is this and you still haven't quite got it - we need them more than they need us
