How will they blame the EU on this?

Clever🤣👎👎

And they reckon cancelling Brexit would make us look silly and be embarrassing? 🙄

General election time. Corbyn for PM. Lexit for me. Macron can shove his Franco German Army where the sun don't shine. Our children are not cannon fodder.

General election time

Ianmac611 What other monies have been siphoned off ?

Can’t make this stuff up.

Even if only 10% of this report is true, there's something truly fishy going on here.

Who needs ships when you have unicorns

Seabourne Freight shares the same registered Address, 59 Mansell Street, as the Maritime Law firm Campbell Johnson Clark whose Director is called Mark Bamford, I did two minutes of research, Antony Bamford of JCB is a huge Tory party donor, his brother is called Markseabourne

🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺

This tells me that all this no deal bluster is just that - bluster. They're not seriously thinking about walking away. And if the deal is dead in the water, that leaves one option - another vote. It's inevitable. Fintan O'Toole is right.

Literally, up the Brexshit creek without a paddle

Probably ably directed by an old Etonian chum of Jacob Rhees Mogg, good old Algy Sniddeleigh Snumph.

Gees guys you are too smart for these English halfwits. Do you have any big ships kicking around?

Y

Suppose if you can run a country with a government composed of people with no brains..why not?

I see no ships....

But with a director called Bamford. Wonder if he's any relation?

Most likely they'll sub-contract it to French and Belgian ferry firms.

How many homes could otherwise be built with this money? Brexitlunacy HappyNewYear2019

Who's mp has shares in it?

If lorries are going to be parked-up waiting for clearance where will we get new lorries from to start new journeys? It's not just ships we need it's lorries too! If the average trip time is 24hrs & lorries are parked-up for 1/2hr then we need 2% more lorries (& drivers).

Why not? They also elected a parliament without leaders!

jimmytabuk This CORRUPTION is obvious. The government are CRIMINALS. They are so arrogant they rub it in our faces in it and say 'yeah, what are you going to do about it?' and laugh. They are throwing the entire country under a bus and we tut and shake our heads. It is time to rise up

Huh

Is this being covered by BBCNews ?

Brown envelopes. FF involved?

Chris Grayling- I have an idea. Those millions of illegal migrants who land in Kent every day (Daily Mail probably)- give them medicines and car parts to ferry over! Brexit solved 👍 and you can keep the £18m for yourself for being so clever!! 💁🏻‍♂️

Have the ships been ordered by the UK government?

We do the same shite here, how did we award the water meters contract to a company that didn't exist before the tendering process started again?

Have they any tickets on ‘sail’ ?

😂

Half a story here!

Uber of the seas

Well obviously. They can't go displaying any semblance of competence at this stage now can they?

Are we now officially up ship creek as well as the other one?

Have we got to Peak Brexit yet...? Alas, almost certainly not... 🙄🇪🇺

rte can they borrow the ones between the UK and Ireland please?

🤯

PatrickAndrews Peak Brexit. We must look so stupid right now...

Can’t see the problem... now they have the money, they can get the boats, right? 🤦‍♂️

That's it from me....

OK OK no need to rub it in...

The UK is in the midst of a fascist coup.

We're being laughed at around the world.... The shame of it.

Come on now! With Chris Grayling in charge what could possibly go wrong?

Sums up Brexit 😱

LeoDochertyUK Let's open up the Basingstoke Canal to freight traffic. We can show Johnny Foreigner we don't need his infrastructure when we have our own crafted in the age of Empire and the industrial revolution. Queens Avenue to park the lorries b4 unloading onto the barges.

That’s just a overly negative way to look at it. It’s not a company ‘with no ships’. It’s a company ‘that will have many, many beautiful ships, the best ships TRUTH allgoingswimminglybecausetherearenoshipssoswimmingistheonlyoption’

Look what the government got in the DFS sale BrexitShambles

_PaulMonaghan You seem surprised?

JKLDNMAD

It beggars belief!

You couldn't make this shit up if you tried

davecaldwell2 saracal94670866

PaulMorris7777 An early April Fool's Day joke - I hope.....

We are literally the laughing stock of the world

ruth_wishart Slightest whiff of corruption....

This Brexit farce will come to a head in less than 90 days. Big bag of popcorn time.

And it has an aircraft carrier that has no planes. Great Britain!!

Sounds like the onion

Freight_NI

THE USUAL 'EU MADE US DO IT' BULLSHIT WONT WASH THIS TIME

Don’t worry things are just dandy in the UK 🤪😭😭😭

Government with no plans does ferry contract with company having no ships. Move along now, please. Nothing to sea!🛶🛸

Priceless 🤣😃😄😅

ruth_wishart 🤣😂😆🤪

And the Darwin Award goes to🤔🤔

Utter farce

Money for the Tory boys.

This reeks of a shell company. Someone is washing money

Got to pay the 'middle man' or should that be 'middle person' !!

?

Siri, show me a metaphor that is apt for all this.....thank you Siri....

Makes sense!

“It was intended to start the service in mid-February but this has now been delayed until late March for operational reasons” - eh just the minor operational problem that they have no ship? 😂😂😂😂

Shit hot imagination. 'Wow' That's what you call thinking outside the box. Excuse de pun

Irish government is as bad, we have the HSE who run hospitals with no beds but still take in sick people

Wait to go Idaho

Brexit can’t be a sinking ship if there’s no ships !! 🤔 DUP involved maybe 😂😂

Yep

Wow How the Tide has turned ,, whoops ,!!!

I’ve got a rowing boat, and am willing to offer my vessel in the event this company fails to acquire any vessels in time

The company is practically insolvent!..The contract is a mix of 2 things: 1. Wealthy elitists starting to slice up the pie. 2. UK Gov didn't want to be seen awarding contracts to European companies, so they gave it to a British company, who will in turn sub it out to Europeans!

🤣😂🙈

Was this DominicRaab's idea 😂😂

That sounds about right. Like a metaphor.

Think32_ How English 😂

No wonder Brexit is up in a heap.

Is this or WhispersNewsLTD ?

BREAKING: 'Royal Mail have just reported the successful delivery of the largest brown envelope in their history. Reports suggest it was posted in Ramsgate with a delivery address near houses of parliament in London'

Thats Irish

SiteServ (O'bribe) got Irish Water contract before it existed!

Big tory donor Lord Bamford (JCB), Reports that his brother linked to this company with no ferries , Seaborne. Ramsgate port has been non functional for some time. No suprise about nothing having been done as its under Dept of Transport - Chris Grayling. Brexit is a shit show!

What a joke.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have no ferries or previous experience operating ferries, this sounds like something I should totally be getting some money for.

£14 million to a ferry company with no ships to mitigate effect of Brexit that doesn't need to happen? Is this self-harm & humiliation an act of contrition for past evils of the British empire or what? Someone please explain why the UK is self-destructing like this? PeoplesVote

Wouldn't happen here...

MwaahaahaahaaahaaahaaaaaaaHAHA

Is this true? brexit

BrexitShambles sigh

Never go full Brexit

Sure they hand out MBEs even though they dont have an empire.

Why are things like this allowed to happen.

Rule Britannia....Britannia rules the...............wait........... Never mind.
