Translate that into what appears to be the current negotiating strategy. We can't afford for them to leave so we'll be as impossible as we can be in the hope they say "oh sod this for a game of soldiers. Ok then we'll stay."It's going to work so well for them, not.

It couldn't happen to a nicer blob of self-serving dysfunctional supranational bloat.

It was always going to be thus! When the EU skewed its raison d'etre from being an economic community to being a vast political experiment then the financials were always going to hurt if a major contributor left.It now has major problems because the pips are already squeaking on the remaining major contributors - Italy is pretty much bust so can't really afford any further contribution so the lion's share will have to be divvi'd up between Germany and France. Their electorates haven't cottoned on quite yet but it will dawn on them over the next year or so. The Dutch may well begin to rue their recent decision as well!
The poorer Southern European states are already on their uppers so it's difficult to see how their subsidies can be reduced to help.
It is easy to see why the EU want the divorce settlement sorted out first! The threat by UK to walk without a deal is a real negotiating position - the possibility of the UK net contribution being cut off overnight must be giving Barnier et al some sleepless nights.

The word on the street is that all the monetary problems are solved.
Last night Corbin and Abbott were watching their favourite scene from Dr Zivago on an old VHS (the scene where the Czars family is killed) and when it went to the adverts of that time, there was one from Ocean Finance.
He therefore plans to take out a really long term loan and consolidate all our national debts into one easy payment.
But here's the best thing.......
...according to the advert, we can now ALL afford to go on a holiday!!!
Awesome!!
Just give it a go!!!
