which is the crux of the matter - they got Johnson, they got their majority, they got the posturing and the sabre rattling and ultimately they got done up the wrong 'un and all they can fall back on is its the fault of a previous administration and avoid any suggestion that 18 months to get organised were just fucking wasted with the Tory Party purging itself of "non believers" and getting Frosty the Showman to pose and posture whilst caving on everything and thus the fishing industry is lost - all because of May and Robins........... as if
If it wasn’t so fucking dire for the future prosperity of the country it would be comical.
Yeah, I misunderstood his waffle. Still, it was Johnson's choice to stick to the original transition period. He could have had as long as he wanted, and we were assured (by IDS no less) that the scrutiny time for the WA was more than enough. Johnson's choice too not to extend the time for a deal when Covid hit. It was predicted that we might be leaving at the height of a second wave of virus. And then faffing around till the last minute (perhaps in the ridiculous belief that what we had was a "viable walkaway option").
In short, it was just more of the specious shite from mcfc1632. I thought that might sound harsh, but then I read the previous post. Anyone who can make light of this is a bit weird frankly.
Well this is all very interesting - I see members of the the mutual support/denial group are getting together again to give each comfort
Now the thing is - I do not have any need to spend my time convincing you guys of anything and your goading comments are of no interest to or have any impact on me.
I do have an interest though in helping other CITY fans who wish to understand the detail of matters. This is not a tribal Remain Vs Leave matter - Brexit is done - just interesting facts.
Here is the rub on this little topic. I consider there to be 3 'stakeholder groups':
1. You 3 and the others that are just, IMO, desperate to deny the reality of how these things should have been managed and where the responsibility lay - and stop others from being informed.
2. Those posters - whether a Remain or Leave supporter - that are interested in understanding how things should have been managed since 2016 and where the incompetent government(s) went wrong.
3. Myself and some others with appropriate levels of experience - who are qualified to 'know' the reality of how things should have been commenced and managed since pre-2016 and have an interest in using the thread to help to inform others.
So I guess - given that I have no interest in persuading group 1 of anything - those in group 2 have a simple decision to make.....
Which opinion would they consider more knowledgeable to increasing their understanding of how the government, since pre-2016 and up to now and beyond, should have mobilised and managed this major transformation programme?
The choice appears to be between group 1 and group 3. Included within group 3 is myself, who for many years the parts of the government responsible across the whole of the UK for establishing best practice in managing major transformation programmes has come to for advice on the subject and has requested to review and guide their major programmes, including Brexit readiness, against such best practice.
I am relaxed either way - but please understand if I do not feel that I have anything to learn from group 1 - I just seek to balance nonsense that is posted.
