Really?! Despite all the infighting they're currently moving up in the polls and look set to become the 3rd biggest party, and the first far-right party to enter German parliament since 1945.

Is this a good thing? Probably not, but thanks to crazy liberal policies resulting in a surge in terrorist attacks, debts levels etc, it's no surprise to see that there has been a resurgence in far-right polities in recent years.

You guys really are your own worst enemies.

Well, if you believe that, you'll believe owt.

I detested Thatcher's government, still do. And the privatisation of the UK's assets, the sale of most of them abroad? Despicable.

Are you seriously attempting to defend that figure? It was an out an out lie at worst, a serious mis-representation at best.

The actual number never bothered me, £350mill or £165mill per week. It wasn't relevant to my decision to vote to leave. £165mill is still a hell alot of money that will come back under direct control of the UK government.

I'm not sure they have.


Anyway, what is it that they could of categorically denied at this stage, as we are in the middle of negotiations? There's bound to be some sort of divorce bill, so how can they possibly categorically deny paying a yet to be disclosed sum of money?


More Brexit BS

No, they said they didn't agree with the top figures of up to 100 billion Euros, but they have absolutely not said they will not be paying a divorce bill.

The government have not agreed to pay any figure presently, until, I suspect they know what the final deal looks like.
Poor deal, no payment.

I just wish there was a way of ensuring that Brexit voters paid this bill. They were so keen, and it being a price worth paying for taking back control and all...

should only be 2-3 grand each.

Wouldn't that be beautiful😀

Yes they'll make it extra difficult won't they, anything to stop all those UK tourists coming in and spending lots of money

France has already seen a big decline in tourism numbers due to repeated terrorist attacks (due, at least in part, to liberal immigration policies);

Chinese and Japanese tourists have been most put off visiting the French capital which is having serious consequences for the economy

If there was a prize for the most bitter and angry person on this forum, you'd win hands down. The referendum vote is done and dusted, try and be an adult about it and respect democracy.

Yes hardly a dent

Concerns seem to be particularly strong amongst Chinese and Japanese travellers, whose numbers have dropped 21.5 per cent and 41.2 per cent respectively.

Chinese tourists are Paris’ biggest spenders - upmarket department store Les Galeries Lafayettes has revealed that visitors from China are their main customers and their average Chinese shopper spends 1,400 Euros per visit.
You guys really need to step out of Guardian reader land, and face up to reality. I know the world is a big scary place, and it's not how you want it to be, but pretending it's something else isn't the answer.

Might?

there you go again.

My parents toured Europe in the early 60's, including Spain, then under the Facist heel of Franco, and the then Yugoslavia, under the Communist heel of Moscow.

There were NO insurmountable problems then. There will be none now.

Get over yourself, why don't you?

Honestly, you remoaners: you accuse us of looking on the dark side, but you don't seem to see ANYTHING now but might-be doom and maybe gloom.

Grow up, FFS. You lost. That's it. Live with it.

Throughout the 1950s and '60s, the economic development and liberalization continued at a rapid pace.[8][13] The introduction of further reforms introduced a variant of market socialism, which now entailed a policy of open borders. With heavy federal investment, tourism in SR Croatia was revived, expanded, and transformed into a major source of income. With these successful measures, the Yugoslav economy achieved relative self-sufficiency and traded extensively with both the West and the East. By the early 1960s, foreign observers noted that the country was "booming", and that all the while the Yugoslav citizens enjoyed far greater liberties than the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc states.[

Doesnt sound too taxing to get in , not like Russia itself when my ole man was selling animal feed to them early seventies
