Dec 2024 GE is going to be interesting, as will all
intervening budgets. Who will be paying the extra taxes
that are needed ?.

Quite, why not first save those with the foresight of a UK outside the
EU, where the UK government was allowed to purchase, at risk, 100s of
millions of vaccination doses.

The lack of foresight in the advance purchase of these doses in the EU
civil servants speaks volumes of the impotence endemic in EU bureaucracy.

Incompetence. There may be impotence too but I'm not at liberty to say.

The intended meaning of impotence was "Lacking power or ability" rather
than an alternative :-)

I agree they lack the ability, but they don't lack the power. That's the
problem: a lot of incompetents but who have the power to **** things up,
especially as they lack emotional maturity.

The EU bureaucrats needed the consent of 27 nations. I'm nit sure if
that is power?
