UK rebuffed over Galileo sat-nav procurement

[original PM]

So it is not possible to remove technology, research, trade and all those other things beneficial to a country from the freeloading politicians who use those very benefits to feather their own nest?

Oh well.

I don't think Brexiteers realise that 'Brexit means Brexit' also means 'Leave means Leave'

You forget that Britain holds all the cards and can have its cake and eat it.

It's a good effort but too thick to be believable, tone it down a bit.

Of course it is, when the politicians stop sulking!

New commercial agreements will be negotiated, older ones renewed.

:yawn:

As likely as assguru making some sense at some point I imagine.

The UK doesn't need this EUSSR satellite crap. Glue some ZX81s onto Sinclair C5s, network the from Bletchley Park, fly them into orbit on Spitfires, and home in time for macaroons and lashings of lemonade. Hurrah!

I commend your innovative use of legacy technologies to circumvent the EUnimatrix, but costs would likely spiral to at least £4,300 per UK household. Spitfires are noisy, and we’d need to budget for comfort blankets, dribble bibs and warm milk, in order to sooth the most delicate 48% among us. Alternatively, we could subcontract the launch to Brandenburg Airport, offsetting costs with the interest accrued from one of Ireland’s bailout loans.

That’s an exceptionally imaginative use of the homonym to illustrate your inner cretin.

Which part of "...thick Brexiters who voted to become a "3rd country" complain when they are treated as such..." are you struggling to understand?
I'm hoping for a hard Brexit, I know you are too .

I'm glad you like it.
