40-60 billion is the bill UK is to be charged (according to Sky News)

600 Billion is the cost to the EU/UK of Brexit in total.

Strangely the Arab Spring and the China Property bubble and US data quality issues

cost 600 billion - it's a standard figure people use I think :)

.. and UK public sector pension liabilities 600 billion - what coinicidence

I'm just looking forward to this huge 'Brexit bonus' we were promised by Farage and co. Can't wait to see all that extra money pouring into the economy - anyone know the date when it's due to arrive?

If remoaners have their way the answer will be never as the money will keep flowing into the great EU ponzi scheme.

keano... there is no money anyway

[Earl Aelfheah]

What!? No money? What about the 'Brexit Bonus'? What happened?

To be filed under 'NHS ?350m week' pledge...

We're definitely still getting that thought right? I mean, it was on a bus. A bus wouldn't lie.

[red devil]

It would if it were a Boris bus...

Has anyone noticed how the Brexiters are still really angry despite the referendum going their way?

Because now they have to look for ways to justify their vote and it's proving increasingly difficult and frustrating to do so.

Yes - twitter is full of angry Brexiteers.

I would ask 'what would make them happy exactly', but I think that could take us to some dark places.

I'm sure if given half a chance they'd 'metaphorically' behead us. I'm getting the feeling of what the French Revolution might have felt like.

Oh dear, I said "French"

I must be a traitor to the cause "Stop Talking sense"

But you remainers are missing the bigger picture. Just think of the opportunities once free of EU rules:

Curly bananas weighed in pounds and ounces

Peckham Rye vineyard Champagne sold by the pint

Forest Hill fungus-free Roquefort matured for 24 hours

East Dulwich GM truffles harvested from Goose Green

Herne Hill spam prosciutto

There's money to be made for our Brexit-liberated entrepreneurs

[red devil]

Keano, I'll give you the curly bananas, an apt motif for the soon to be tax-haven banana republic...

Something i read today,,

Italy per capita income no higher now than 18 years ago (yes Eighteen!)

Output is the same level as the early 80s

The economy 7% smaller than in 2008

The population is 1 million higher

youth unemployment is now at 48% ( no wonder there 200,000 young italians in London - including my cousin's kids)

EU (or more specifically the Euro I guess) can cost a fair bit for some
