Why does the EU want us to Pay £33b divorce bill?

[UserSince2005]

The beaten abused wife of a rich husband breaks free finally and shes the one that has to pay? Ridiculous.

I refuse to pay.

[arista]

They are Bills we have agreed.

[Withano]

Could use that money to fund the nhs instead

[bots]

we have an ongoing commitment to keep paying for the pensions etc for UK staff that worked in the EU. That is what the money is for

Imagine if when Scotland finally win their vote for independence and the UK turns around and say well actually if you want to leave then you need to Pay £33b. There would be international uproar.

In fact the international comunity will expect london to pay for scotland to get on its feet. Build infrastructure, school, hospitals ect so it could cope.

What bollox
Scotland has infrastructure
And England would have to repay north sea oil revenues?

The idea that Scotland doesn't have infrastructure is just plain stupid :think:. We don't need more hospitals, schools or roads. We DO need an end to the austerity that has left the ones we already have critically under-funded, like they are across the entire UK.

If they did Scotland would literally be one of the richest countries in the world per capita :joker:. That's not very realistic though, I'd be content enough with them leaving what's left of it to Scotland.

England, the eternal victims.
