They don't. They whinge to each other about things (such as council tax) but they never get off their arses to complain or protest. An average Brit will rather run up a credit card debt than protest.

Strange, the usual virtue signallers aren't lambasting you for posting links to racist stuff. I guess you must be an Erikur-lite racist type.
(I wonder if that link counts as you using the B word Cojak hates, since it's all over the blog?)
Ps. Brits can and do complain about everything, in case you hadn't noticed....it's something to do with our crap weather
(Foreigners thinking they're special lol, Brits hate everyone including other Brits)

Still, a Daily Mail front page showing treasonous civil servants hanged using piano wire should make the gammons feel better.

£20 billion? It's peanuts compared to the whopping £13 billion we pay in now.
Let's make "Britain Broke Again".

As WTFH points out, IF the system works perfectly the cost is 20 billion.
But we all know it won't.
But hey some clever people are going to make a killing.

Technology-based customs system 'could cost £20bn
Am I surprised? = No!
Brexit: Technology-based customs system 'could cost £20bn' - BBC News
The post-Brexit customs system favoured by Boris Johnson and other leading Brexiteers could cost businesses up to £20bn a year, officials have suggested.
The chief executive of HM Revenue and Customs told MPs firms would have to pay £32.50 for each customs declaration under the so-called "max fac" solution.
John Thompson said any new system could take up to five years to fully work.
No 10 said the £20bn figure was "speculation" but "issues" remained with both options being considered.
The figure is higher than the £13bn UK contribution to the EU in 2016.
