Bloke ( who wanted no deal) complained continously about lack of preparations for Brexit then complains about HMG spending money on preparing for Brexit ..

The Cabinet Office said: “As a responsible government we have, and will continue to, draw on the expert advice of a range of specialists to prepare for the changes and opportunities that our new trading relationship brings. As a result of our significant preparations, all border systems were in place for the end of the transition period, avoiding disruption at UK ports.”

No. Sadly, he's unemployed. It's why he spends so much time on here all hours of the day and night under his various accounts :down:

And avoiding the question 'What aspects of Johnson's Irish Sea border over Theresa May's NI backstop convinced an ardent Unionist like yourself to vote for it ?'

Brexit bonus for the big consultants. Government paid largest firms £306m in two years for specialist work

The UK’s largest consulting firms have been paid more than £306m over the past two years to advise the government on Brexit, according to published contract data. At least 31 contracts have been agreed between government departments and consulting firms including PwC, Deloitte and McKinsey between September 2018 and February 2020 for work related to the UK’s departure from the EU, according to Tussell, a research company monitoring government contracts.

Examples of Brexit work included an attempt to set up a new system for customs declarations to manage the consequences for universities and the science sector. Millions of pounds more will have been spent on consultants for work where the EU is not directly cited but which addresses the knock-on effects of the UK’s departure, Tussell adds.

The government spent £1bn on the eight big consultancies for all areas of work in the 12 months to August 2020, a 15 per cent increase on the previous year and the first time spending topped £1bn since Tussell began recording data in 2016.

And people were saying there were no Brexit opportunities :shootself

Now wouldn't I look silly if it turns out that Chicken Run, Ppf, JCFG/POTG? and pastafarian have actually been partners in the big 4 consultancies all along :lolol:

Oh dear, you going to waste another day of your reducing life on here engaged in waffle that won’t change your bed sheets let alone anything in the real world?

You obviously don't do Irony :lolol:

I have to say, I thought you seemed much more at home on the Race fishing thread last night

We will see more and more using the channel as a means of entry as a fair few from the Middle East and surrounding African states in the past have arrived via a European passport,
I was driven by a Brighton Hackney driver originally from the Yemen that got himself to Italy 15 years ago and then came here 5 years ago on the Italian passport, don’t think he’d have enough points now under the new scheme[emoji23]

It must have been good to get that off your chest after holding it all in for so long.

Maybe if you didn't spend so much time on a thread subject you have proven time and time again to have absolutely no understanding of, you would have more time to start and contribute to race fishing threads like this https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showthread.php?380960-Wimpy-Portslade where you seem to understand exactly what you're talking about.

As I've maintained all along 'The vast majority of Brexiteers aren't racist, but the vast majority ............. etc etc (I'm sure you know the rest) :bigwave:

Would be tragic to see the break up of the U.K. but totally understand why Scotland wishes to distance itself from England and rejoin the EU
England is a toxic country right now, a laughing stock with a vicious nationalist vibe to it right now.
As a lover of my country I want to see this element gone and see a United Kingdom. A nasty little element has ruined the U.K. and I don’t blame anyone for wanting out.

From Brexit to Covid to Constitutional crisis, its coming. Even Welsh separation numbers are up sharply, Johnson is that bad

Yep. Coupled with the people (examples on here) who are trying to dress up petty Nationalism as patriotism, you cannot blame them. Unfortunately, true patriots, people like us who love our country simply have no power at present. Breaks my heart to see what some leave voters have helped to turn this country into. The only solace is that things always change and this will swing back around. But the damage they have inflicted on the UK will take a long, long time to heal.
