Thanks!  To answer the question, it's intended to mean: *Post-Brexit, some people's preparations are irrational.*

NB. Eliminating the subtitle makes the title vague, whereas with an extended title, it is possible to judge the question's content from the title alone.  This way, a reader can make a reasonable guess if they'll learn something before clicking.

All of your sentences sound weird.

Barring other grammatical errors, 筹备 is used to describe “collate resources to prepare for an event”.

> 日本政府已经花了好几年的时间来筹备今年的东京奥运会。

The Japanese Government has spent a few years preparing for the Tokyo Olympics this year.

Your first and third sentences don’t sound right because they don’t refer to an “event” per se, and you should state clearly that the Beijing government was preparing for the New Year celebrations in the second sentence.

What does it mean?

> 北京花了很长之间做筹备工作，不过因为冠状病毒的发现，政府推迟新年的庆祝。
>
> 西红柿炒鸡蛋是个很简单的菜，不需要筹备任何配料。

In those sentences,it is okay no matter you use "筹备" or "准备".
Actually,we always use "准备" in our daily life.

It seems that there are few circumstances to use "筹备" although "筹备" is more rigorous.(Maybe "准备" reads more smoothly than "筹备"?)
