    Instead of spending another £3billion on preparations for Brexit, why not give that money to the NHS?
    But rather than giving the NHS an extra £60 million a week, the government would prefer to waste it, not on Brexit, not on the consequences of Brexit, but on "preparations for Brexit"
    They are doing both. How many times do you need it pointing out?
    (Although preparing for Brexit being a waste is your opinion, not a fact - governments always waste money)

    It's strange that you think there should be no money reserved for preparing for Brexit, which at the moment could be anything in a range of scenarios. (and that you think the preparations somehow won't include preparations for the consequences of Brexit )


    So let's ensure you clearly state your position:
    1. Do you believe the UK should be unprepared for Brexit?
    2. Do you believe money spent preparing for Brexit is a waste of money?
    3. Do you believe £2.8Billion going to the NHS doesn't constitute investment in the NHS?


    My answer to all 3 questions is 'No' - how about you?

    The government have committed to increase the spending on preparing for Brexit over four fold. They are increasing the spend on Brexit preparation by more than they are increasing the spend on the NHS.

    ...and you think it's all one big joke.
    I assumed part of Brexit spending was training more nurses.

    Maybe its just cotton wool to wrap up DD when he trips.

    The point is it is a big joke.

    You just need to look at it from the right angle.

    You need to seek help over your remainer symptoms, namely; anger, fear, anxiety & frustration

    Well, as other posters in other threads have pointed out, the NHS isn't the all-singing, all-dancing party that it is claimed to be - and in fact, some posters wanted the abolition of it, in its current form - so I would assume those posters are more than happy to see not as much of their tax going towards it, and instead going towards preparations of Brexit.

    and, all governments are a joke, or hadn't you noticed?

    Boris, Gove, et al promised £350million a week for the NHS.
    In this budget, the government is giving £2.8billion extra to the NHS (even before we leave the EU).

    Buit Brexit is getting... £3billion extra just to be spent on preparation. Not on actually leaving, not on what happens afterwards, but just on preparing for it.
    This government would sooner waste money trying to work out what it wants to negotiate rather than invest it in our National Health Service.

    "Neuroticism is one of the Big Five higher-order personality traits in the study of psychology. Individuals who score high on neuroticism are more likely than average to be moody and to experience such feelings as anxiety, worry, fear, anger, frustration, envy, jealousy, guilt, depressed mood, and loneliness."

    What economic disaster? You're not allowed to import live squirrels regardless of whether the UK is in the EU or not. And I haven't noticed the price of imported hazelnuts rise significantly, but you should be able to make use of some home-grown nutty treats...

    To be fair with the state of the NHS you may have the same amount of luck.

    Don't get disheartened, you weren't meant to get it. But I will take your comment in the spirit in which it was intended, coming as it does from the turd majestically floating on the cess pit of Brexiteer cretins.
