Remember Britain will have its own GPS system after Brexit?

[Old Greg]

We don't need a UK satellite navigation system because we have one inch maps

As long as they don't print the Taunton Stop Line where those EUSSR army blighters will see it.

yep we contributed a billion but we don't get to use it?

with friends like this?

We contributed x amount.

We insisted (for security purposes) that only EU members could use the full capability.

You voted for us to leave the EU.

Join the dots.

You're trying to be logical with mince. It doesn't work.

Well when they did allow the UK to use it you didn't consider them as friends so they may as well treat the UK like sh*t.

Relax, UK has developed an alternative to satellite GPS using quantum compass navigation.

The EU can stick it's old tech GPS system down its cake hole, with a cherry on top.

" a one metre long container containing clouds of rubidium atoms frozen using lasers"

Indeed the RAF could equip their new fighters with a canvas and balsawood contraption on top to contain this new GPS.
Let's hope it doesn't change the aerodynamic qualities of the plane too much.

I don’t know why he’s so worried about it and not celebrating it. Galileo is Brexit in a nutshell.

- we were paying more than other smaller countries, so now we don’t have to pay in and they can pay instead
- we’re now free to spend the Galileo dividend on our own system instead
- we now only need to pay for the access to Galileo that we want (within the boundaries of what the EU offers)
- we can do deals with everyone else (eg USA) for access to their systems, and that will all work out great because they have no self-interest whatsoever and they will bend over backwards to do a great deal with us
- we’ve reduced the influx of EU immigrants (“scientists”)
- we’ve successfully reduced the freedom of movement of our own scientists, so that they can concentrate on innovative jam recipes instead of world class science.
