@fatmogs1@BrexitBloopers@1965Muzzy@KennyFarq No, they most certainly did not. UK lent £3.2B in 2011–2013 as part of the €67.5B EU/IMF bailout loans to Ireland.
LOL, snowflake...
@nobdy_imp@Danjsalt Member states negotiate such things with each other at the European Council, not with the European Commission, just as Cameron did with his fellow leaders in 2016. The treaties are between the member states.
And he got most of what he asked for.

@DailyRedDevils1@IainDale No UK taxpayers were involved. The UK Government borrowed the money it lent to Ireland. Ireland’s interest payments and capital repayments serviced UK’s borrowings. Not a single penny of UK taxpayer money was involved.

@SBarrettBar EU members cannot be made liable for the commitments of other EU members unless agreed under a joint programme (such as NGEU which is between the current EU27 only) so UK would be no more liable for EU debt or French debt than France would be liable for UK debt, etc.
@JoeleTax188567@TerraOrBust UK's effective import duty (customs ÷ imports) progressively came down from c. 3% pre-EEC to c. 0.7% before Brexit. It then rose to c. 1% because of Brexit, a level it has not been at since the late 90s.
@GUnit156@BrexitBloopers@TorbenSchust@eurorealist LOL, another dribbling snowflake who doesn't know the difference between Europe and the European Union and between nominal GDP and GDP expressed in PPP$.
