And who's taking that money off us? The EU through a Divorce Bill. 

See that? That's a good example of Frankfurt's definition of bullshit: just saying stuff with no concern of whether or not it's true and no concern of whether or not anyone belives it.

 

Here's the real reason for those lost billions.

In fairness, we haven't left yet.

 

The amount of emails that I've had from public bodies asking us to complete their business continuity plan templates, the amount of meetings, the amount of webinars and the amount of absolute bullshit that has gone on in the last few months, preparing for a Hard Brexit that was never going to happen, makes the inefficiency of the EU pale into insignificance!

 

I'm eurosceptic, but I underestimated what a complete clusterfuck our government could make of the whole thing!

The government's botched the whole thing, but that's what you get when you have a choice between two hapless, clueless parties that despise each other, and take no blame for their own role in the incompetence. The financial hit is due to the economic uncertainty. It's a speculative market. Sterling will not rise until May addresses the uncertainty head on. Nobody wants to make a decision though. The Cooper Amendment took the power out of the MP's hands. They literally voted to give the EU absolute say over whether we can leave or not. Everything going on at the moment is pure madness on all sides.

How do you conclude that?

The Cooper Letwin Bill that made it impossible for the UK to leave with a no deal on the agreed upon deadline. The deal that was passed through the house in 4 hours, from inception to delivery, winning by 1 vote. Legally made it mandatory to seek an extension.

There was only one party in government. She knew she didn't have a majority to force through 'her Brexit', but she pushed on ahead regardless. It's obvious that she needed consensus to progress things, but she was too busy looking after the interests that she holds dear - and they are not the interests of the electorate.

I think we already discussed this and concluded that the Bill made it mandatory to ask the MPs whether to ask for an extension or not.

The bill made it mandatory for the government to seek an extension that could be no earlier than May 22nd, and ideally was scheduled for December 2019.

The Brexit has cost us an estimated £60bn, roughly speaking that's about £1000 per person. For a family of four that's £4000. That was a pretty good forecast I'd say.
