The Gibraltar situation benefits the Spanish too, its just political posturing.

As long as the Spaniards hold on to Cueta and others, they can f*ck off with their bitching about Gibraltar. W@nkers.

Bitching it may be, but ironically they have more say in whatever deal we get, than we do. If we carve out something that seems fair and balanced, but any number of countries can sink it. That's something we should have held in mind at the ballot box, not now. Maybe some did, but not many.

The old saying was "marry in haste,repent at leisure",perhaps to now be updated to "divorce in haste,repent at leisure"...

The Spanish will do whatever merkel tells them to do. They wouldn't dare veto a deal based on Gibraltar. They'd get slaughtered

Brexit is wonderful. Best thing to happen for as long as I can remember.

Interesting admission from remain campaigner [Link] at 40 seconds,

"...means that almost every piece of legislation brings in an EU regulation somewhere."

That's the important phrase. An admission of how intertwined EU directives are with our laws. What I've been saying all along.

The EU have appointed a French bloke, who seems to be a total prick, to negotiate with us.

With any luck he'll be so intolerable we'll simply leave the entire thing altogether, rather than a half arsed leave.

May has already said she's not having an "off the shelf" model.

According to the Office of National Statistics the EU billed the UK for £19.6 billion in 2015 or almost £376 million each week.

The revelation comes after repeated claims by the Remain campaign and its supporters that Vote Leave's battlebus gross figure of £350 million a week going to the EU was "a lie".

In simple terms, if you give me £20 and I give you a tenner, you then have £10. So, to say you have £20 is not accurate.

No, in simple terms UK paid more than £350m a week all along, which again is what I was saying all along.

And the EU paid us back £165million a week from that which is what you are not saying all along.

Nor have you mentioned the lower cost of goods because of our membership.

I don't understand the argument.

Logically, in terms of "EU Club" membership fees, it's still £211m per week difference in the EU's favour as well as a significant UK trade deficit in their favour.

Not sure where "cheaper goods" are readily available to the UK public after the significant mark up by our middle men. However, I do agree some goods can be cheaper if you purchase them on the continent and bring them in.

Which makes the EU an absolute bargain as it includes single market full membership which Mrs.Thatcher signed us into.

It costs Norway 420 million just to be there and have no say in how it operates thats the sort of trade deal the EU will have in mind.

The BRexit has no cards to play.

The simple maths are:
uk total gdp =2.8trillion
Central projection for lost gdp by 2019 due to brexit = 5.9% (although it already looks like it will be significantly worse) then 5.9% of 2.8tr = £160 billion lost. Whatever you take the cost of eu membership (i.e gross or net) we would still be atleast £100 billion worse off.....oh and immigration is expected to rise, but it just feels better cos 'we took back control' yeah!

Still don't understand the enthusiasm for full EU membership.

We buy more from the EU than we sell to them. We are also a significantly larger market than Norway.

Norway pays 420 million what and how frequently?

Is it more that the £844m a month net contribution we currently make to have access to a trade deficit and a questionable degree of influence over what?

I'd say the Brexit cards are very playable.
