So, Theresa May has pulled the UK out of the £9 billion Galileo GPS satellite programme. Talk of the UK building its own system, with £90 million earmarked for a feasibility study.
Presumably line 1 will say: “This project will cost at least £9 billion.” theguardian.com/politics/2018/…

Also worth noting that Theresa May is so desperate to get us out of the EU that the £1.2 billion the UK contributed to Galileo is just another thing written off due to Brexit, like the £4.2 billion spent on Government preparations. Anyone would think the UK is made of money!
Oh, and the final jolly jape in this caper is we lost the work on, and funding for, future ground stations for the Galileo network to Spain, because of Brexit. And the existing UK data centre will be moved to the EU27 too.
Once the above has sunk in, how about another 100+ real consequences of Brexit? All things happening right now, not in some hypothetical future. #projectfact #marr #ridge #bbcsp
