That's been on the cards for a while but you are right. If we leave then they will slap those charges back on so it is a bribe. The depths to which they will sink? Seems there is no limit really. Threatening that cancer research would lose money should we leave was one.

Indeed and the country would be better off by about £50 bn. after we pay to trade with the EU. Is there any other country in the world that charge to trade with them?

Not really. You go into a shop to buy something you want.
You trade with a country to do the same.
Just on a bigger scale.

You're really grasping at straws if your only example is nearly 200 years ago... 
So when you go into a shop, do you try to sell them things when you are buying their goods, and then try to cross-discount the stuff you are trying to sell with the stuff you are trying to buy, whilst in competition from other shoppers who are trying to sell the shop their stuff? If not, it's nothing like trading with another country...
