I thought I heard on the TV news today that if we don't pay up we'll be charged £3.5Million interest each month.

So just shy of 2.5%


Good question is can we lend at less than that rate on the open market currently? Or actually why not suck up a credit line from the EU suddenly they have something to lose from the UK.

That's a lot cheaper than paying the 1.7bn

Don't pay that either. Owing somebody something that you didn't ask for seems pretty fraudulent.

Great if we've done as well as the UE say . We can afford to maintain our roads verge's and flood defences then.
Or we could pay off the ww1's debt that we still owe for helping Europe 100 years ago. That's fair cause Germany have paid there's off.

It's comical that it includes revenues from hooking and the drugs trade. Both professions well-known for documenting their incomes and paying the appropriate taxes etc. How is our 'success' being measured on illegal trades amongst other things?

I find Camerons "hardman" language interesting

He sayes that the UK will not pay the bill by the first of december


It is the time frame that i find grabbing my intention


When i get a large and completely unjustifiable bill i say i am not paying it


I never say i will not pay it by date X


We are going to pay this £1.7billion just on the instalment plan

Who agreed to that madness? You can't class a booming drugs trade as success.

OBR autumn release contains more info of the imaginary 'deal' Osborne came up with.

For the deficit, the situation is now that the transfer of £1.7bn was logged as expenditure in the public finances on 1 December, and we expect to get £800m back in 2015-16. That sounds remarkably similar to the situation before the negotiations.

[Scuffers]

so, for all the bullst about being deferred and halved, as predicted, 1st of december we just paid up the £1.7Bn?

Farage will be laughing his **** off (again)

Still I'm sure the promise of a referendum is good.

We'll just have a have a word with the hookers and drug dealers.

[Pesty]

So cameron lied yet again but people on here will still vote for him.

[BoRED S2upid]

I presume they have borrowed this money? They are addicted to credit we are broke the EU magic a figure out of thin air and we borrow the money to pay it? Madness.

No further factual evidence that the Cons are the same as Europhile Labour.
