We could just get on with it and leave with no deal in a few days I suppose. Indeed, at Government Departments across the land, people working in key areas that you would probably regard as being utterly vital are being hauled off to emergency plan the ruinous impact of no deal. Your taxes are being used to pervert the day job of the civil service from furthering the health and wellbeing of the nation, to trying to desperately mitigate the catastrophic impact.

The thing is it isn't stupid money. If we're going to do this it will cost billions. To not prepare would be stupid. It's incredibly complicated. To rush it is madness.
Perhaps this figure of 4 BILLION QUID just to prepare should've gone on the side of the bus. I don't think it was a vote winner though.
All spent and we haven't even left yet!

May has also awarded a multi million pound contract to a ferry company that's actually not got any ferries, The government has also just paid the euro tunnel company 33 million in an out of court settlement because of a tendering mess.
All this money has been spent and what is even worse we won't even leave without a deal what a waste.

| I'll be glad when it's all put to bed, then we can move on to the next referendum, hopefully one on Capital Punishment.
The fifty two percent for Brexit would be eclipsed by a yes vote, would they dare do it, of course not, yet this Tory spat continues to fracture the whole nation.

| What does everybody think will happen re the voting in the commons this week?
Mays deal will be defeated possibly Tuesday night
The Commons will then vote to take no deal off the table possibly Wednesday
They will then vote to ask the EU to extend article 50 by a couple of months possibly Thursday

Why has May had to fly to Strasbourg, has she not heard of video conferencing?

I have had a quick look on the web to try and find the reasons nearly £10 million was spent on this Remain Propaganda Leaflet. so far, I have learnt that Cameron commissioned it as a response to 85% of people asking for more information on Brexit. it was then ratified and signed off by a Tory EU sub committee. A 220,000 petition was sent in against it. However, the response was that It was entirely legitimate for the gov to make its case and there was no legal reason why it could not do so. It was also put onto social media websites and a new website was also set up for it.
Which leads me to two conclusions
1) After the £9+ million spent on this very informative leaflet the country STILL voted to leave
2) I now have an answer to anybody who says we wasn't given enough information.

I'd go with that scenario, followed by endless air miles & more meaningful votes until May's crappy deal (which nobody really wants) scrapes through, with the M.P.'s holidays looming. Followed by the next day, May gimping up to the podium in front of Number 10 with that smug grin, to announce her work is now done & exits the stage ala Cameron.
