The government has not carried out any impact assessments of leaving the EU on the UK economy, Brexit Secretary David Davis has told MPs. Mr Davis said the usefulness of such assessments would be "near zero" because of the scale of change Brexit is likely to cause.
Perhaps we shouldn't bloody leave then !
When Mr Benn suggested this was "strange", the minister said formal assessments were not needed to know that "regulatory hurdles" would have an impact, describing Brexit as a "paradigm change" of similar impact to the financial crash, which could not be predicted.
EDIT : Update to the article. From the same group of morons who've had enough of experts :
"I am not a fan of economic models because they have all proven wrong," he added.
Yes, great. Let's just replace everything with "feelings" because numbers don't matter and they're all lies anyway. Woohoo. Thanks so much for that.

Good grief! I had to write a risk assessment for walking into a server room a few years back. The government's incompetance wilful ignorance beggars belief!
ReplyDeleteWhat's especially crazy is that Davis seem to think that not having a done any impact studies is somehow a defence. And it gets worse. The article has been updated since I posted it :

MMmmmmmwwwwwwwwwnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhhhhh.
That's because walking into a server room might have a variety of risks, Alun Jones. I suspect no one has ever been asked to write an impact assessment for shooting themselves in the stomach.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of Tories or Republicans because they believe lies and have always been proven wrong.
ReplyDeleteHeh, yeah, there could be bears in that server room. With big nasty teeth.
ReplyDeleteRhys Taylor Or a BOFH.
ReplyDeleteI can't think of anyone who wouldn't lose their job for telling lies like this. In our current government is seems to be fully acceptable
ReplyDeleteGordon McIntosh They simply must lie at this point. Which aspect of the truth would serve their purposes?
ReplyDeleteDan Weese at the time, I don't think I was at any risk from a BOFH. Other people may have been at risk from me though!
ReplyDeleteAlun Jones ... and all this time I thought you were a BOFH. Or perhaps, merely, a PFY....
ReplyDeleteI've not been a PFY for way too long. And yes, I was a BOFH, which is why I wasn't facing any risk...
ReplyDelete"The most dangerous thing in the server room is ME !"
ReplyDeleteyo, I've been a BOFH my entire career, and I have just understood that...and some people will claim that internet is useful only for cats and porn. :D
