"So apparently we now have to develop our own GPS satellite system because we won't be allowed to access the EU Galileo system - apparently the budget for the UK replacement will be rather limited because of the money already spent." We have paid in £1,200m to a system that will cost £9,000m to complete. Our government have put aside £92m so far for a UK only system.
I wonder where Brexiters think we will find the extra £8,908m to complete the system. | |||

"Well I presume they would be around the £9bn the EU system will cost. Do you have any reason to suspect a system will be significantly less? We have already worked out the divorce bill and we owe the EU £40bn+ lump sum, plus we will be paying into the pension pot until the 2060s and May has said we will pay into the science budget indefinitely. | |||

"Will any EU members be wanting our military help in anything that gets detected via this system? Or do we not have to bother with that? I can understand keeping us out of other things, but defence? Really? Is that not cutting your own nose off to spite your face?" GPS systems don't detect anything. They are just highly accurate clocks. | |||

UK contribution and value of UK contracts, not found. Interested if you have. How much we might "think" that we can claw back depends on what we agreed to, how much we contributed financially and how much we have and will benefit financially. It also depends if this is part of the £40bn break clause that we have already agreed with the EU. You still haven't addressed the substantive point. We wanted the third party exclusion clause, agreed to it and have chosen to leave the EU. What should we expect to happen? | |||

Sure the Normandy invasion was multinational. But Britain’s part in the liberation of France on two occasions should not be played down by anyone. Disgusting! | |||

I see on other threads that the UK is going to be financially flush, so buying several of these GPS systems is likely very easily affordable, making the UK the envy of the world.

"The reason the EU - and now the UK - want to build its own secure comms network for government use is because the current system relies on the USA. Trumpland has shown itself to be an unreliable ally, hence the need to derisk the comms function. " The EU Galileo system was started long before Trump was elected. It started back in 2003. Presumably then the EU thought USA wasn't a reliable ally under George Bush jnr or Barack Obama either? | |||
