UK govt awards Brexit ferry contract to company with no ships

They are not crucial to the situation, May saw chitty chitty bang bang over Christmas and now knows a fleet of cars could be turned into boats just like that.

They've exhumed Lionel Jeffries at great cost and put him to work in a castle, the government are much more hopeful he will come up with a solution, than being able to negotiate a good deal with the EU.

"Questions have been raised over the Government’s preparations for a no-deal Brexit, after it emerged a £13.8 million contract to run extra ferries has been handed to a company with no ships which has not previously operated a service."

What is this government doing? Like, really??

Wouldn't surprise me if the owner(s) of this company has distant links to either Tory MP's or party donors. What people have done is just given rich people with vested interests the ability to get richer while the rest get poorer. Bravo.

The wastage that has gone on is unbelievable. People who bang on about more money to the NHS should hang their heads in shame. This money bleed is going to be like a ruptured artery.

Sensible policies for a sensible Brexit.

Happy new year to everyone, no matter their political persuasion. Both to the gallant remainers and the regressive xenophobes. Here’s to a great 1919. Sorry 2019.

Not sure you understand what privatisation is mate. What they have done is charter some ships. Like some lucky folk can afford private healthcare.

A record number of British citizens applied for Irish passports in 2018 it was announced today. I wonder why.

That is where you are 100% wrong. In my case anyhow. If leave win a 2nd vote, fair play to them, we will be out the day after and no one can change it.

From my own point of view, something like this requires checking because it is now obvious to everyone the milk and honey version of leaving has turned to crap. If I was on the leave side I would still want a 2nd referendum on what the actual terms are. At the moment we could be leaving having paid 39 billion to start with (but we will have to keep on paying as normal later) to be in the common market with the same issues we have now, but with no say what goes on. I'm imagining that is not what leave voters thought would happen?

It deserves to be put before the country again, so no one has an excuse 'they didn't know what they were voting for'. And that works from both sides.

Just to say in case you think I am just a peoples vote remoaner, I would actually go much further. I would like the whole thing halted with government telling that this can't be actioned at the moment, which is the truth. Until the Ireland issue is resolved we can't leave the EU is the simple fact that many can't seem to get their heads around.

We can leave the EU without any deal inplace.The Ireland situation is only an issue for the EU not us.Check-out Jacob Rees-Mogg discussion with the EU's Guy Verhofstadt on youtube
