That's one article about a two specific orders, no context, no reason and no mention of any other vaccine. Nothing in that article says that the government are "not interested" in any other vaccine. But as you may know, (but wont ever experience ) the AZ vaccine does better against the new variant with a mRNA type vaccine booster instead of the AZ viral vector type - so perhaps we have enough AZ from the initial order and have just ordered the top-ups?

But yes that is an example of how Brexit lets us choose what we want to order, from whom and for how much.

you're trying to spread the false rumour that members of the EU are in some way prevented from researching or buying vaccines

Wrong! It was a genuine question and so far all you have done is bullshit, waffle and posture. So your total inability to answer a straight question is what is really pathetic here. I am still waiting for a sensible answer, because to date I see no answer.

Ooh get you honey, you don't like being challenged do you?. OK big boy, try picking apart my reasoned reply to your bollux, you can't can you? You can carry on with your little 'w@nkfest' with your remainer chums if you like, don't worry, they're as thick as a whale sandwich so they will no doubt agree with you, but try this. List my benefits, one by one, and tell me where and why they're wrong.

The lie is in saying that it has created greater opportunities - such greater opportunities that one friend who has a business which exports 75% of what they make (mainly to EU countries, they make bespoke knitwear) is seriously considering either taking early retirement or moving to Northern Ireland (to benefit from being within the custome union) because their costs have sky rocketed in the last year and are about to increase further when the full tarriff barriers come into force tomorrow.

That's remarkable because my wife manages a high end wool product company that exports worldwide. Their trade is 30% up on two years ago. Maybe your friend is just sh1t at business.

LSE has done much much much worse than the other major markets

What I said John, and I know you are aware otherwise you wouldn't have truncated my post, was that the LSE had a record year in raising startup funds. Incidentally, was there a reason for you posting charts that ended a year ago?

One year since Boris's "oven ready deal" (more like an underdone turkey to my mind, but never mind) and I really want to know what advantages we've had out of this. Seriously, I can't see any plusses, just a whole lot of minuses.

Taking bets on how long until people stop crying into their beer about Brexit lol.

Yes it’s amusing to see how salty leavers LOSERs are.

poor things will give themselves an ulcer all that bile they are producing.

nevermind the Brexit failures going to really ramp up this year

How about the thousands of plusses in the UK kept alive by the AZ vaccine, and the thousands of minuses in the EU who were not kept so alive because of the EU's rigid ineptitude and lack of foresight?

UK has the worst mortality rate for European nations.

I'd have a bet, but I suspect I won't live long enough to collect my winnings.
Is there about another 49 years left for JRM's prediction to come good?

 

[AngleEyes]

And that's worked well, hasn't it? You are aware that as a member of the UN we did sign up to the 1951 UN Charter on Refugees as well as subsequent ones, so we should still be taking them. Absolutely nowt to do with the EU


Wow! But as fishermen will tell you - it's no bloody good if you can't export products like crayfish, lobster, etc to countries like France and Spain where such dishes are popular because there are now import duties and Customs clearance charges to be paid, making our products a lot more expensive


Like the Japanese one (worse than the EU deal), or the Australian one (again worse, and which in 10 years time will absolutely hammer British farming - source the NFU)

Whoa, slow down, I was being ironic.

That was because the previous four years had been so badly stifled, and for no other reason.

I'm not convinced any EU to UK trade restrictions/limitations/processing will materialise because I'm not convinced UK is geared up ready to implement any checking, etc.
And any delay caused by checking, correct procedures, restrictions, etc will only add to any current shortfall already being experienced.

(shows charts ending 31 December 2021)

charts that ended a year ago?

Filly doesn't know what day it is, or even what year it is.

UK has the worst mortality rate for European nations.

Italy has more deaths per million, than the UK, which is a more honest comparison.

But since when did it become a competition, disgraceful.

 

[Notch7]

This is the reason we left, because the remainers gave no compromise

I’m not sure how that argument works, I mean remain is just remaining inside the EU.
