Yeah the UK are net contributors to the EU budget
There you go, so you get my point. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif”> Those who pay sometimes get tired of paying and having to comply to rules mainly pushed by those who don’t pay. Not sure why you’re so angry too: if the UK was paying so little and they had so many advantages, why do you care that they want out? Any member can review its position, what’s a problem with a nation leaving the union?

The 1860s US can probably answer that question.
I know I know very different circumstances, just giving you crap. :b

I got your point the first time about the fact that they’re “giving” money, mate. Like Germany, like France, like Italy… But like I said, they paid and did less than the others (others who’re actually paying for the rebate they got, btw) but managed to leverage what they gave to push the rules their way (thus making the whole no taxation without representation point pretty invalid imo). The UK never had to comply to anything it didn’t want to, and especially not to rules that would have been made by countries that “receive” money, ie the eastern European countries who joined the Union way after the moment the main rules have been set.
I’m not especially angry or bitter about the exit by itself, I simply hope than it will be dealt with properly : if you want to be all by yourself, be my guest, but don’t compain if we, continental europeans, don’t want to give you free access to the single market you so wanted or solve for you the refugee issues you contributed to create by your actions (still looking for those nuclear weapons Saddam had, Tony ?) without any kind of fair compensation.
The brexit proponents said (and seem to believe) that everything should continue the way it was, minus the money the UK gave : sorry for the pro EU Britons, but the brexit needs to and will impact the UK first and foremost. Because if the UK waltzs freely out of that mess, it would be a terrible blow to the Union that would have dire consequences on all other european countries, including mine. And THAT would piss me off.
And once again, I’m far from being a fan of the way the EU works, but I feel like the UK showed up uninvited to a party I made with my friends with a pack of hot Stella Artois, emptied the fridge, tried to make out with our GF/BF, picked up crappy music all night long, pucked everywhere and left drunk at 4am without thanking anyone. I’m pretty relieved if I never have to deal with him again and I sure hope Mr UK didn’t destroy the concept of partying, even if some of my parties sucked.

Btw took me way too long to figure out by “pucked” you meant “puked”.
Just for fun I googled it anyway (in case it was some strange slang) and found a hockey erotic novel, so that’s something.

I’m sorry but which one is it then? Is the UK a leech that you are happy to finally see gone from the EU? Or is the UK an important contributor to the Union that you are angry to see leave? You can’t be unhappy to see a leech go or wish that a leech remained in the Union.
July 2, 2016 at 2:09 am #471401I think he was saying that he’d be mad if they had to sort out the mess made during the wars while Tony Blair was PM (because that’s what Brexit thinks should happen).
