We’re getting closer and closer to a no deal Brexit. I am sure Airbus are not the only ones looking at this situation.

I don’t see that a deal is likely to be struck, which seems to be reinforced by how Government are working on a fall back plan.

Rather than a fall back, why not go back to the EU and ask if they would reconsider our decision?

So much less pain, grief, aggravation and probably most important cost to all whether in lost wages, additional taxes to cover the EU shortfalls and such.

Reverse the Brexit madness.

This article from The Independent explains how we’re going to have to pay the £39billion divorce bill.

They had been arguing for ages this would not be needed, and now concede it will.

Is anyone else reminded how a three year old will argue against something and then has to accept the original edict?

Seems the Leave.EU campaign might have been a tad naughtier, based on the fines levied, than any other group.

Indeed, Liz Bilney might suffer more than just fines if the investigations find more evidence of wrongdoing.

Thing is, its just not quite enough in my opinion. ???

Bet those who voted for Brexit never counted on the fact that our sat navs might prove less reliable.
GPS is the name for the US system, Galileo is the European one and GLONASS is the Russian one.
So, whilst we often mention GPS, that’s specifically the US system and may not always be the most accurate.
Galileo, at least for Europe, aims to improve that situation, but of course as its European, access to some of the advanced functions will no longer be available to the UK post-Brexit.
May’s “threat” to create her own satellite system, still needs a satellite delivery mechanism – which are owned primarily by – yes you guess it – the US, Europe and Russia.
Given the issues with Salisbury, Russia seems unlikely. Europe will of course want their pound of flesh for us exiting Europe, so that’s also unlikely.
That leaves the US, so that might work whilst 45 is in position, so May had better strike soon if at all.
Such fun.
