EU unhappy with astrazeneca

[Bodd]

Operation Barbarossa was the key point of WWII. There is nothing in history to dispute it.

Let's Say the Germans won the Battle of Britain.
Then went on to win Operation Barbarossa.
Do you think we would now be German?

Let's say the Russians won Operation Barbarossa. Do you think we would now be Russian.?

Either way the US would not have been able to help us.

If we had not won the Battle of Britain there may never have been Operation Barbarossa.

They were the enemy and the Ruskies were soaking up their bullets.

Nonsense.

Adolphs' heart was never for conquering the British. His main desire was to the East, once he'd floored Europe.

 

[noseall]

Get over yourself.

And your made up opinion

He Had his eye on the British Empire, I think he may have thought he could negotiate his way to controlling it. Should've known better, we don't **** about with Europeans, ask Ursula.

Why try? Why leave the door open to the Americans ?

Anyway, back on topic.

Boris's double vaccine victory over the EU (msn.com)

Boris Johnson forced the EU into an extraordinary double climbdown during a dramatic late-night intervention to protect the UK's record-breaking vaccine rollout.

During two phone calls just 30 minutes apart, the Prime Minister made European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen ditch plans to stop 3.5 million doses of the Pfizer jab from reaching the UK from a factory in Belgium and abandon the 'nuclear option' of imposing a hard border on Northern Ireland to prevent them reaching the UK.

Following his diplomatic victory, Britain yesterday recorded a daily record for first-dose jabs – 487,756 – to bring the total to almost 8.4 million.

In his phone calls, Mr Johnson warned Ms von der Leyen that her actions risked denying millions of British pensioners their second Pfizer injections.

She immediately capitulated in a tweet sent out shortly before midnight on Friday.

As part of an implicit 'peace deal' with the EU, No 10 yesterday adopted a conciliatory tone. Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove said the EU recognised that it had 'made a mistake' and both sides agreed on the need for a 'reset'.

Northern Ireland's First Minister Arlene Foster was less diplomatic, branding the EU's move an 'incredible act of hostility'.

Meanwhile Tory MPs were jubilant, with one describing the EU's surrender as Mr Johnson's 'Falklands moment'.

The Mail on Sunday understands that before Brussels was forced to blink twice, the Government had drawn up contingency plans to break any EU blockade.

Under a 'vaccine security exercise' adapted from plans for a No-Deal Brexit, supplies of the Pfizer jab could have been airlifted out of the continent.

The EU – and Ms von der Leyen in particular – were savaged by the European media for their handling of the row as governments across the bloc faced a backlash from their voters.

Meanwhile Tory MPs were jubilant, with one describing the EU's surrender as Mr Johnson's 'Falklands moment'. I particularly liked that line, a fine piece of journalism if I may say so.

I think they would have got a better result by asking nicely for help. I think on the back of this, our help should be directed at countries and people not trade association leaders.

 

[noseall]

not so tbh

Adolph Hitlers first military defeat came in Russia. There is no mention of the Battle of Britain in this respect.

It's true to say going after Stalin ended any hopes of Hitler winning the war.

 

[Brigadier]

What, that Hitler and Stalin were useless military commanders? One won the greatest world wars ever seen and the other nearly won it.

There's a strong case for "in spite of".....

 

[noseall]

There's a strong case for "in spite of".....

Of course.

 

[Brigadier]

Neither the Russians or the German's would have been our friends.

You have to realise that no - one is your friend (except your friends)

Even your own government (of whatever hue) uses the plebs to push its own agenda. If it aligns with your needs and wants, lucky you.

You only have to look at the subject of this thread, for evidence of that. Less than four weeks ago, various EU troughers were waxing maudlin about our leaving, and how we'd always be "friends".
And look how long that lasted.......
