All of it seemly.
The time has come for rejoicing, and dancing and singing in the streets, we have it all back. Fabulous...pounds shillings and pence, half a crowns, sixpenses, feet, inches, gallons, pints,florins, groats, chains.
It will be brilliant.

Dr Fox is reminiscent of a young Doc Cox in that picture.
Come to think of it, I'd have more confidence in him too.
I hope your well braced, Lad. And have put aside some of your JSA because Birmingham is in for a rough, rough ride if we leave the EU...
Just take a look at what EU money has done for your city. It transformed it from concrete Hell-hole. Another reason I don't like Leave voters, ungrateful bunch of entitled yobs.

1. The International Convention Centre
Cherie and Tony Blair with Bill and Hilary Clinton at the ICC in 1998
The EU chipped in £50 million towards the ICC and Symphony Hall which opened for business in 1991. It most famously welcomed global leaders, including Presidents Bill Clinton and Boris Yeltsin to the 1998 G8 Summit. Each year it hosts some 350 events including political and business conferences bringing hundreds of thousands of visitors to the city.
2. The NEC
National Exhibition Centre

There was further help for the city’s conference and exhibition industry with a £30 million cheque towards the refurbishment of the NEC - which of course is home to Crufts and many other major shows bringing thousands more to the city.
3. The West Coast Mainline

Remember the upgrade of railway linking Birmingham to London, the North West and Scotland and reducing journey times in the process? The EU paid £66 million towards that.
4. Breaking the Concrete Collar
The demolition of Masshouse Circus
Those folks in Brussels helped Birmingham rid itself of one its biggest mistakes of the 1960s. It paid £9.1 million towards the redevelopment of Masshouse Circus in 2002, including the breaking of the Queensway flyover, known as the concrete collar, which had held back the expansion of the city centre for more than a generation.
5. The Town Hall
The inside of the Town Hall in Birmingham in order to help kids with autism.
Built in 1834 the Town Hall is the city’s premier historic building. But just over decade ago it was in a pretty sorry state, covered in soot and neglected. The EU, with a £3 million handout, was among a number of backers which saw it cleaned-up, its stonework restored and its interior refurbished and reopened in 2007.
6. Millennium Point
The Spitfire Gallery, Thinktank
The Spitfire Gallery, Thinktank
The home of the Thinktank Museum and Birmingham City University was completed in 2000, it was, through a £25.6 million investment, the the UK’s largest ERDF funded project at the time.
7. Innovation Hub
Over £6 million invested in Innovation Birmingham, the former Aston Science Park, bringing digital and high technology businesses and jobs to the city.
8. Jobs for young people

Only last month the city council accepted a £33 million EU social fund grant towards its scheme to get 16,000 Brummies, aged under 30, into employment .
9. Backing for business
Business
Business
Between 2007 and 2013, as the economy nose-dived, the European Regional Development Fund provided financial support for 24,910 West Midlands based businesses
10. The Assay Office

At the centre of Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter is the Assay Office - one of the few places that precious metals can be tested and hall marked. Part of the cost of its expansion and relocation last year was covered with a £1.5 million EU grant.
11. MG Rover Task Force

The collapse of MG Rover in 2005 directly caused 6,000 redundancies, plus many further losses along the supply chains. The task force was set up to create jobs, invest and help get those workers back into employment. More than a third of its £176 million pot came from EU emergency funds.
12. University research

No wonder some of our universities are keen on the UK remaining in the EU. In the West Midlans alone between 2007 and 2013 universities benefited to the tune of about £260 million, funding research into health, food, energy, climate change and transport. They are receiving similar amounts under the new funding package.
13. Birmingham International Dance Festival

Grants totalling £741,000 over six years helped get the festival launched in 2008 and established. In 2014 the festival was estimated to be worth £2.6 million to the city’s visitor economy.
14. The African-Caribbean Millennium Centre

The EU gave £530,000 towards the setting up of this vital community centre in Winson Green.
15. The Nishkam Centre
Performance at the Nishkam Centre, Handsworth
The ERDF stumped up £2.5 million, of the £6 million cost of developing this facility for the Sikh community and wider population of Handsworth. It opened in 2006.
You really don't have the first clue what you have done.

No deal no money. It's the EU they are driven/ruled by it. No deal wont happen they want their divorce bill

That is a legal thing and is calculated on shares of deals that the eu have done on behalf of all the members over 45 years.
The government wouldn't dare welch on that or have the justification.
No deal is about trade etc, not about what we owe

Thought the divorce settlement was over and above that. We are still paying into projects that remain ongoing.

Breaking the law
Christ who gave Cameron £9 million of tax payers money to distribute remain leaflets to every single door?
We had a vote and we voted out....Why o why do I still keep on hearing about the remain and leave team as these two are bloody irrelevant now surely !!!
Let's leave with dignity and get the hell on with it as I'm bored shitless of hearing about these boring parliament votes that never seem to end.
Our government have been nothing but an embarrassment for way to many years
Haha no deal incoming and absolute chaos.
May will resign

As has been pointed out, there's little things called our treaty obligations which we've always observed and the fact we've never reneged on what we owe as a country.
We're headed for no deal because of the chaos in Westminister. There's nothing The EU can currently offer that could that would command a majority in parliament.
Not content with voting against having the right to ratify international trade treaties, Parliament has voted against even requiring the Government to show them their contents.
Parliament does not apparently want to be sovereign any longer.
Lol
Complete opposite of what Brexit folk voted for
