Another ten million quid down the shitter

Yesterday, it was announced that the Government will spend over £10 million on a marketing campaign to prepare the country for a no deal Brexit.

This would pay for 4000 nurses.

With approx. 95 days to Brexit, any preparations not already done is too late.

Simple.

The port of Dover is not ready, and any new infrastructure would take years to plan and buld and then fill with trained staff. And with the Dover Harbour Board's poor record of project management, we had better not be holding our breath.

Ferry companies operating to the EU have announced that no trucks without properly filled in and correct paperwork will be allowed to depart.

In excess of 80 of exporters have not yet started the process of pre-registering.

The UK needs to recruit and train an army of several thousand freight forwarders to work at border crossing points, smoothing the passage of freight consignments. The paperwork for that process does not yet exist.

Any animal products imported into the EU would have to be certified by a qualified EU Vet. There are not enough of those, as for internal EU trade these are not required. Facilities for Vet clearance areas need to be built.

Yesterday, it was that the UK Government that no deal is now "assumed" as the EU were unlikely to reopen the WA.

Another wing of blaming the EU was opened.

The decision to leave the EU was the UK's, and people who campaigned had no plan. Still don't.

No deal breaks the promises and manifesto and even contradicts words of on Boris Johnson last week when he said that the chances of no deal were "a million to one". A week is a long time in politics. As is truth.
