The EU has been so persistent in insisting that the UK pays for projects they claim that we pledged to support before the Brexit Referendum vote and even those which have not started yet.
On the EU side, as soon as the result of the Brexit Referendum was known, the attitude of the EU was to bar UK MEPs from certain meetings even though we had not yet formerly left. Therefore we can know the attitude of the EU towards Britain because they have clearly demonstrated it.
Right from the beginning I could not help holding the perception that perhaps private/ secret discussions were underway on how to ”manage” us and held the concept that they would mix and match the way that each remaining member will, in turn, frustrate progress of negotiations because it has been made clear that any agreement has to be agreed on by all member states.
So, the deal should be that if they want us to pay for projects that we will never benefit from in the future, including those that we have already paid for in the past, then it would only be fair for us to charged the EU rent for one twenty eighth portion of any properties that we have paid into in the past as well as in the future, for perpetuity.
The UK must be part owner of any real estate that has been built for EU purposes as we were equal partners footing a substantial part of the bill and even though Mrs Thatcher won a decent rebate, EU lover Tony Blair gave a large part of it back for nothing in return.
To most right thinking people it is totally incorrect to have a huge financial demand as a prerequisite for negotiations to begin independently of other issues. It is a manner of conduct that would not be out of place being made by the Mafia. So perhaps it is reasonable to lease our portion of assets to the political structure which is the EU, a supranational political structure which has not signed off its accounts for 23 years.
