Poor Bodd. Get back to your virtue signalling.
Au contraire!
Quitters will ignore this of course...
British firm in turmoil as profits plunge after government gives ‘Brexit’ blue passports contract to French rival
"The boss of a British company that lost out on a £490m contract to make blue passports after Brexit has resigned after the firm’s profits crashed 77 per cent.
Martin Sutherland, chief executive of Basingstoke-based De La Rue, announced his departure on Thursday as the firm unveiled a major overhaul in the wake of the contract loss.
Last year, the government awarded the contract to make passports after Brexit to Franco-Dutch rival Gemalto, meaning that the symbolic documents will be made in France rather than on British soil as they are currently."
that's the French for you Dare say the passports will be of poor quality
After all they did dump ELM Leblanc boilers on the UK
As for the Dutch
There was the DAF Variomatic
Yes exactly
most of the time they are bombed out of there eads on spliff and wandering around with bits of tree on there feetSponsored Links
Perhaps they thought 'De la Rue' was French.

Its not funny. I don't know why you think it is.
But your right. Why would our government give this contract to a French firm. Could it be because they were so much cheaper. If so the British firm need to look at themselves as well.
I've never understood why we let let MG Rover go down the pan, yet rescued the banks.

It's funny because it typifies the mess we're in and the fact that quitters don't understand what they voted for!
And £2.1bn just pledged in order to 'get ready' to leave...
That sum will be dwarfed by the losses incurred if we do leave with any deal or a no-deal!
Don't you know...
The government does what it's told!
Unlike for example in Iceland where they let the banks go bust...
Within a decade all debts paid, and the country runs a surplus budget without decimating public services...
In UK PLC, what do we have? - massive unpayable debts and indefinite austerity!
For those genuinely interested/concerned about the British Health Care the likes of Oliver Letwin have planned for you kids there are plenty of informative/depressing video's on YouTube.
Over the next few days I will post them up in a separate thread.

Nope, a true statement...What a silly statement.
Iceland's Unorthodox Policies Suggest Alternative Way Out of Crisis
Iceland to Maintain Budget Surplus Through 2024 Despite Slowdown
And they're well on the way to getting rid of all public debt
Icelandic national debt now only 24.1% of GDP
A figure the UK can only dream of!
I guess you're the silly one
Don't worry, we'll never the adopt the American system. There's a whole world of functioning healthcare models out there, and nobody wants the American system. Besides, the principle problem with the American system is the existance of the FDA, which makes drug production and provision prohibitively bureaucratic and expensive.
Did the unicorns tell you that?

More unsubstabtiated bellowing from a Brexiteer.
So is that why Jeremy Hunt was pushing through the reorgansation of the NHS to the US model?
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...-privatisation-customers-id-pay-a8033986.html
What US model?
"Plans have been tabled to convert the NHS into a public/private enterprise, which critics say is based upon the US private health insurance-based system"
Note that it's only (UK-centric) critics who claim it is a US model, notably Allyson Pollock:
"Pollock said...proposals were an attempt to Americanise health care in England... Our NHS has been an international model for countries around the world".
This is opinion, not fact. It's not even unbiased opinion. Pollock makes the false equivalency that "public/private = US model". It doesn't. Remember, most of the world's health systems are public/private enterprises (even the NHS* has never been fully public, e.g. GP surgeries are all private). She's right the NHS is a model for countries around the world, but it's a model that apparently no other country wants to copy (maybe Cuba?), because it woefully underforms compared to the other options adopted by developed countries.
*Peace Be Upon It
