I see that Michel Barnier has now issued a definite threat that 'Britain will suffer after it leaves Brussels'. Well the British don't take kindly to threats.

It is reported that some £350 million is paid into the EU weekly, but I have never seen a figure for what we get back in return per week.

If the latter is less than the former, then we do not appear to owe them anything. It is time they accepted that we are leaving, no strings, and, as said in Yorkshire, 'give 'em nowt!'.
