Oh dear a brexiteer not understanding lorry queues are of his own making, not fault of EU.
It's one U-turn, it isn't a whole series of them, most of them resisted until the pressure grew to much.
You paraphrased the reporter's article. It's almost impossible not to place your own interpretation on the article.Same apples to my post, that you batted off as "reporter's opinions"
How much was the reporter's opinion, and how much was yours?Interesting interview with a european reporter on R5L this morning.
He said that, basically, health in the EU was always taken care of at a national level.
The French, Germans, Spanish et al set up their roll - out infrastructure (logistics, centres, refrigeration, vaccinators, etc), in anticipation of the vaccine.
But the EU took over the procurement and approval, dicked about, and didn't deliver.
He said that the individual states are well - pizzed at the Commission , and are looking for heads to roll.
Von de Leyen doesn't want to be seen to be the person who ballsed - up the vaccine roll-out, (in Notchy's terminology, "own it"
Nah, that’s just wishful thinking on your part.
The longer you resist a U-turn the harder and the more obvious it is, that it was forced on you by external pressure.
Do you know the name of the programme, podcast or the reporter? The web site doesn't give a chronological programme option.
Thanks for that, Brigadier.
Here's the link to the program. The interview starts about 2hours 6 minutes in to the program, after the news.Interesting interview with a european reporter on R5L this morning.

It's been happening, it will continue happening.
Listen to the radio interview that Brigadier referred to. You'll see that it was a decision by some under-ranking person in the trade department, over-ridden by someone more senior.
