9 tries is fairly little by TPP standards , and that ' s only because of active sabotage anyway . <| sep |> No I didn ' t , learn to read . <| sep |> My wife worked for a small company and got the same run around with pay . She would normally have to beg for a raise . Once the other office girl quit and my wife threatened to leave they suddenly were able to give her a $ 2 raise , no big deal . <| sep |> I don ' t think they can force the UK out . They are bound by treaty . If the UK break the EU rules , then they can be forced out . But they have to break the rules first such as agreeing a tradedeal just for the UK . If the UK chose to stay and just be belligerent and ruin and veto everything , I don ' t think there is much the EU cold do in the short term . In the long term , they could probably argue that the UK was breaking the treaties in spirit . But trying to do that would be political suicide for a British government . They ' d be getting hit by Remainers for damaging the EU and by Leavers for not leaving . It could not be sustained . And at the end of the day , all it would achieve is a guarantee that the UK would leave the EU with absolutely no deal on anything whatsoever . and countries like France vetoing anything they propose to the WTO . It would be a catastrophe .
