Post-Brexit border checks forecasted to cost almost £5 billion | LBC

James O'Brien wonders why 'we are paying billions of pounds to make lives harder for British businesses to do business', deeming it an 'act of utter insanity'.
It comes as the National Audit Office (NAO) cautioned on Monday that a post-Brexit border control system intended to "take control" of Britain's borders lacks a clear timetable for completion.
The public spending watchdog highlighted that repeated alterations and postponements to the government's key scheme for implementing full import controls from the EU were causing uncertainty for businesses and additional costs for both the government and ports.
This warning comes as the £5 billion Brexit border checks system still awaits a definitive launch schedule.

@Willywin 26 дней назад

As bad as what? I dont know where you live but I see no 'bad' from leaving the EU. I see more job opportunities, I see less reliance on agency workers (mainly EU nationals seeking work as there was none in the EU) and more permanent employees. What is lacking is the will of the political class and the civil service class to grasp with gusto the advantages of being freed from EU bureaucracy, red tape and wasteful duplication... I mean why the need for TWO EU Parliaments except for a a change in the call girls and rent boys the EU politicians get to choose from. Lets be honest we still have a remoaner Parliament aggrieved they had to do the will of the people.

@rb1062 26 дней назад

As a Dutch person, your comment is laughably inaccurate. The British mainstream media was notoriously pro Remain. BBC programmes such as Question Time overloaded their panels with pro Remainers and only one poor Leave supporter fighting his/her corner. On this very station, James O'Brien gave Jacob Rees Mogg a hard time during their interviews. Therefore your comment is based on your wounded feelings rather than the facts you profess to follow. In spite of the overbearing media's pro Remain stance, which was officially proven by the way, I'm very proud that 52% of us stood up to the EU. 52% of us had the guts and self respect to vote for stronger borders and self governance. Your national elections have shown that many of your countrymen are waking up and taking a stand, too.

It still will take up to 25 years. You still have to be accepted by all EU countries/states. You’re not even close to meeting the Copenhagen Criteria. As the years go by, the EU will become stronger. You will need to accept that there will be little negotiations. Accept Schengen and the Euro. You will have no choice by then.

Every time I want to write something about Brexit I get absolutely lost for words! There should NEVER have been a referendum. It broke my heart for my grandchildren’s future. It is an insane thing - I knew 5 people who voted for it - 3 of which are now dead, 1 has emigrated! And the other regrets it… yea Gods what an absolute mess.

Hi James. I'm no expert on Brexit other than foreseeing the devastation it would and has consequently caused, this was so obvious it was not rocket science, that said I moved to Germany in 2016 & lost 25% of my state pension due to the post Brexit exchange rate. Sadly I had absolutely no control over this other than to cast my vote to remain. For example that staggering & obscene figure of five Billion would have given 600,000 Doctors & nurses an £8,300 one off lump sum payment. Great informative show, keep it up James, thank you.
