I now understand why people were celebrating the day Thatcher died, because Thatcher did more damage than May has so far. The problem is May has the chance to do even more in the long term.

I also really strawberry floating hate Cameron for bowing down to the anti-EU backbenchers in the Tory party. I hope you got what you wanted you spineless banana split.

I never understood the pressure he faced, just seemed to me that he could ignore them.

He was a coward.

Personally, I was brought up with those beliefs, and even if I don't practice or believe in anything now, I know a lot of the parables. There's no doubt they have shaped me into the person I am today.

It's such a shame that a vicar's daughter, who is bringing religion into politics, pays little attention to those.

Maybe when she heard "blessed are the poor" she thought it was a good thing for people to be poor? That's why she is acting to raise child poverty. She wants them to be blessed.

Cameron didn't want to lose the election and have to rely on Clegg propping him up again. He figured he could attract UKIP types by offering a referendum.

Once he lost the referendum he shat himself and ran away.

Absolute coward.

It's been reported they want it paid...in Euros. (Not surprising, but means cost goes up as currency tanks)

Brussels wants UK to pay for relocation of EU agencies out of London, leak suggests

According to a leaked draft of the European commission’s proposed Brexit negotiating guidelines, Brussels is going to ask the UK to pay the costs of relocating EU agencies out of London.

Politico Europe, which obtained the document (pdf), says the approach it proposes is “hardline” and “more in-your-face ... than EU officials had previously suggested”.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) and European Banking Authority (EBA) are both currently based in London’s Canary Wharf. The document says the UK should pay for them to move to the continent, saying:

The United Kingdom should fully cover the specific costs related to the withdrawal process such as the relocation of the agencies or other Union bodies.

Politico Europe says this could even lead to the UK being asked to pay “the travel and expenses of negotiators on both sides, as well as extraordinary summit meetings of EU leaders”.

The DM and Breitbart just melted down.

To be fair, I can't see why the UK should pay specifically for the relocation of agencies. We should be paying a fair settlement of course, but it would be a bit cheeky to demand the UK pay the full costs for an office move.

We should say they can stay, but as we are no longer going to be part of the EU there is a massive fee to run EU business from a non EU country.
If the UK agrees to pay anything towards moving costs it will be ridiculous. What is in it for us?

We've said they can stay. The EU (rightly) don't want their internal agencies based in a non member country.

We should pay something towards their removal, it's us deciding to leave after all, but it's not fair to say the UK has to pay the whole amount.

If we've said they can stay, it is their choice to move and they need to pay the associated costs. If they want us to pay it needs to be tied into a general Brexit deal.
