Brexit

Seems some in the EU just can't accept Boris stole a march on the EU now telling the UK :
Europe minister Clement Beaune, a close ally of President Emmanuel Macron, claimed the UK was “taking many risks” in its independent vaccine scheme. He questioned Britain’s decision to give out doses 12 weeks apart and questioned the efficacy of the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab. Asked whether the EU’s handling of the pandemic was an advert for Brexit, Mr Beaune replied: “It has nothing to do with Brexit, but I understand that you make the comparison.
Is this the same dangerous Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine they were so desperate to get their hands on last Friday threatening the NI protocol to make their point, we've left the EU Monsieur Beaune we make our own calls on the likes of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, and how we make trade deals with in the future.

Think of the EU as the evil Empire in star wars and Boris as luke Starwalker

 

Nah. More like Jabba the Hutt.

 

An actual news report by the BBC that is critical of the EU and calls out some of their underlying contradictions. I never thought I'd see it!

 

Sacked in the morning, he'll be sacked in the mooooorrrrnnniiiinnnnggg...

 

The current situation encapsulated in under 6 minutes, the Germans and now the French say they will not be giving the vaccination to people under 65 years of age where as most of the world are together in claiming the the over 65s are the most vulnerable.
I believe Boris has said he wants the exit agreement done and dusted by 28th February, it will be interesting what the outcome may be if it isn't ratified by then.

 

They are just not giving them the Oxford one as they say there is no evidence it works for that age group. They are using the Pfizer one instead

 

Looks Boris has made the wrong call , I'll take my chance that the UK got it right.

 

they are using the UK OAPs as their live test subjects.

 

Pot, kettle, black

All you post are critiques of the EU and support for brexit. Yet claim to be impartial about the matter.

 

Oh my God! Shall we get you an English test?

I don't like the EU in it's current guise. Never claimed to be impartial.

 

I feel better having had the jab so if that is mine and the wife's contribution to getting the vaccine a positive/safe result I'm more than happy.

 

Cadbury moving from the EU back to the UK, Hopefully first of many

 

probably due to the fact that most of it was imported back into uk for sale.

 

This guy seems to think the UK financial services won't have a problem with leaving the EU.

Barclays boss Jes Staley has urged Britain to use its separation from the EU on the back of Brexit as an opportunity to ramp up its competitiveness to carve out a new place for itself on the globe.

"I think what London needs to be focused on is not Frankfurt or Paris – it needs to be focused on New York and Singapore,” Staley said in an interview with the BBC on 5 February.
"Brexit gives the UK the opportunity to define its own agenda, and in defining that agenda around financial services, staying competitive with other markets outside of Europe is what the government should be focused on, and I think is focused on."
