Re: Brexit

You seem to be under the false impression we have the skill, ability or economic strength to back them into a corner. Do you think if we had that capability we'd have achieved that at some point in the last two years?

If you think that £39bn, our financial commitment for years to come, is going to make or break the EU (annual budget €145bn in 2015) you are simply ignoring the reality. The financial institutions can cover that with lending and spread it across a long enough period for minimal reductions in the EU budget.
