"Chief among his concerns was the protracted negotiations over Galileo, the EU’s strategic satellite navigation system. The government has said UK defence and security services would no longer participate after Brexit and it emerged on Friday that the country {the United Kingdom (my insert)} may never claw back £1.2bn it had already invested." In an earlier BBC report of this story he was quoted as accusing her of being 'naive'; I recently described her as 'deluded', but I suppose it means the same thing. Thank goodness she's on her way out of Downing Street - voluntarily or otherwise!

This exact thing was pointed out prior to the referendum and was discounted by the Leave campaign as being part of Project Fear. When you resign from a club, you don't get to continue using the snooker table and you also don't get to claw back the proportion of your subs that went to pay for it. Somewhere in the North of England there's a locker in a golf club changing room that I personally paid for (they extended the changing rooms and asked members to pay for lockers in exchange for the right to use them - as opposed to the annual ballot where you could lose your locker). When I left the club, I relinquished the right to use that locker.
We should get back that £1.2 billion though. Then they can shove their efffing Galileo where the sun doesn't shine.
