Brexit - More Waste

[maggiebee]

It's quite obvious that "they" are not using their own money. What a total waste.

Don't think I've ever heard of it.

[naomi24]

Probably not, zacs, because that isn't what it's called or intended to be. I'm sure this has been discussed here previously.

Ah, OK, thanks Naomi. I must have missed that as well!

[FatticusInch]

Makes you wonder how they can spaff £120 million on that but one opinion says they dropped the energy advice idea that Rees-Mogg signed off on because £15 million was a waste?

[webbo3]

Better than £340M

Or £400M

I wondered when the Scots/SNP would be dragged into it…..

Speed, bonnie boat etc.

[maggiebee]

Webbo, doesn't matter if you're Scots, English, Irish or Welsh, we all paid for it. Get a life man.

[Zacs-Master]

Don't mention the £521 million for Edinburgh trams.


Oh, damn.

[maggiebee]

Trams are brilliant and very well used by locals and tourists alike. Always use them when visiting Edinburgh.

Webbo's answer was a legitimate response.

It's quite clear your original post was to rubbish the wastefulness of the Govt on the Festival of Brexit, or whatever it was called (I'd never heard of it), so Webbo legitimately drew a comparison with the wastefulness (and in this case, incompetence) of the Scottish Govt to show all Govts are crap at spending other peoples money.

That seems reasonable to me.

[Zacs-Master]

And then there's the £12m it cost for the enquiry into why it cost so much.

[maggiebee]

ZM please stop trying to score points cause ehm no playin' ony mair.

[Zacs-Master]

OK, wee hen.
