ポピュリストでひどいけど、経歴と政治家としての振る舞いがときどきおもしろい人・・と傍観してたけど、あれよあれよという間に実際英国の首相になってしまい、混乱と独断と独走と時々ハッとする名案を出したりして10/30のBrexit期限日を迎えようとしている。おーい、君は「偉大な」（ということは、もう偉大ではない）英国をどうしようとしている？？
UK will still owe money to EU even if it leaves with no deal, says budget commissioner
Britain would still have to pay into the EU budget until the end of next year even if it leaves without a deal on 31 October, Günther Oettinger, the EU budget commissioner, has said. Speaking at a news conference in Brussels he said the UK was fully signed up to the EU budget for 2020 – its final year of EU contributions.
Even if the UK refused to pay up immediately, the EU would recover its money “at a later stage”, he said. He explained:
In the 2020 draft budget, the UK is a full partner with all rights and obligations in terms of monies paid and monies received and that is how we understand the law.
If the British are not prepared to pay, we are sure we will get the money at a later stage but not immediately.
Boris Johnson has often said that if the UK were to leave the EU without a deal, it would no longer have to pay the £39bn owed under the withdrawal agreement. But even though the exact formula used to decide the UK’s legal obligations in that agreement would no longer be agreed between the two parties, British government officials admit that the UK would still owe a very considerable sum to the EU.
