      £100,000,000 is a lot to spend on a 1 in 1,000,000 probability event.

        What would you do, wait until the day after we leave the EU?

        Think of it as adding weight to our negotiations with the EU. Because make no bones about it, we will be leaving.

          If it is a 1 in a million chance, then it is a waste of public money.

            Shouldn't have to spend anything because apparently, regardless of what type of deal, Brexit will all be sunny uplands and everyone will be much better off and the country will be glorious or was that all bulltulip?
            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              We are preparing to leave the EU. If the only way of leaving is without a deal and it costs £100s of millions to prepare effectively for that event then it is worth spending.

              The EU needs to see that we are serious about leaving and to prove that we are willing to leave without a deal then we must be seen to be making sufficient preparation.

                But there is only a 1 in a million chance of a No Deal, so why spend money on it? Is it an elaborate bluff to convince the EU that it is much more likely than 1 in a million?

                  The reason the uk will be better off is due to freedom from the eu. Preparation is required to reap the benefits.

                    And in your dream, what happens next? The EU says we are serious about leaving, but we have no plan and no desire to make a deal with them, and we go.
                    In the EU's eyes, so what?
                    It makes no difference to them. For 3 years we've been saying we're leaving.
                    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                      Point of order: the £100m is just for advertising.

                      To prepare effectively is going to cost a hell of a lot more than that.
