False News
Hi
Unfortunately, we are full of it.
People trying to manipulate us, the Media in particular.
The Express is by far the worst, it is appalling.
An Example
http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/830...ord-livingston
The headline is totally different to the article.
The key phrase in the Article is this
“Having our cake and eating it is just not available. The cake shop shuts in 18 months’ time and we have to recognise that. As a country, we need to buy some time to avoid the cliff edge. We need to show some realism.”
Get real folks, our great and good have screwed Brexit up big time.
We could have, and should have, got everything in place ready for it, Computer systems, Border Controls, a real serious problem for the EU, a much stronger negotiating position.
We haven't, they know we haven't, so they now have the whip hand.
This annoys me, I did not want to give them an inch, nor a penny more than we had to.
Our idiotic Politicians have blown it
They tried to do things on the cheap and are still arguing amongst themselves.
We are still cutting Border Control, not recruiting an additional 4 to 5 thousand new officers.
Our much vaunted new computer system for Tariff Collections has failed, it ain't going to happen on time.
It was supposed to be going on existing hardware in Newcastle, it is incompatible, it cannot handle it.
We are still waiting for Government Approval to for a new set of hardware to deliver it.
We have been waiting months for this, still no decision, in spite of the fact that the techies have told them that the delays are such there is no chance of getting it in place now before we leave.
They have laid off the entire team working on the hardware side months ago, still no decision from the Government on a new contract.
Your Techies, the boring gits, have told the Government that we cannot collect EU Tariffs when we leave, at Dover, not enough room.
They have come up with a plan, a secure route out and a holding area, 11 miles away, big enough to hold all the vehicles, sort the Tariffs out and inspect every vehicle for illegals.
Still no decision from the Government, which is stupid, not even an application for Planning Permission, or a Compulsory Purchase for the land.
I am much closer to to this than many of you, history of my ex Job.
I have no idea at all about the Master Plan, well out of my league, no insight at all into that.
The boring bits, I do know about, and they are crap.
