His job is done.

Some say the Brexit Dividend is the advanced rollout of the Covid
Vaccine. Only loser remainers would think otherwise.

Quite a job, stuffing the country.

It is exactly what Farage and his like would say. Since much he said was
total lies.

There is and was nothing to stop any EU country making its own vaccine
arrangements. And with hindsight, I'm sure some wished they had done.

But then with hindsight, the UK could have prevented much of its death
toll from Covid too, before the vaccines became available. And, of course,
it's nowhere over yet.

IMHO, it will only be conquered by world wide cooperation. Not something
the likes of Farage would even contemplate.

You recently highlighted the practicalities of a one leviathan of a
company versus several small ones. You accepted, or at least acquiesced,
that several small ones were more efficient than one ginormous one. You
seemed peeved at this and would rather we all drove Morris Marinas.

In much the same way here, the UK is more responsive to a crisis than a
lumbering EU where thinking outside of the box is allowed. Where you're
right to say there was nothing to stop EU countries making their own
vaccine arrangements, the EU politicians did argue that economies of
scale would assist a purchase if they joined.

The UK could have joined the block and there were some noises from
remainers that we should indeed have done this. It's not often I can say
the right decisions have been made on so many counts.

Are you nuts? More responsive to a crisis?

At every turn this inept government was well behind the curve. Late to
lock down, late to procure PPE, late to implement a working test and
trace system (remember the "world beating app last May?) and then
throw £37,000,000,000 at an utterly useless system.

To add insult to injury they're going to give NHS workers a 1% pay
increase when they were promised 2%.. A bit more dosh would be more
welcome than patronising them with the clap every week.

The problem is that this government is jam packed with inexperienced
one-trick-pony Brexireers. Johnson chucked out any opponents of the
beloved Brexit doctrine,and although still Tories by nature they would
probably have made a better fist of tackling Covid than this useless
lot.

Just look at the results
https://ourworldindata.org/explorers...EL~CHE~IRL~ZAF

Nearly 130,000 deaths. That says it all.

Every government in Europe has failed to contain the crisis. All have
probably made serious mistakes.

Late to
lock down, late to procure PPE, late to implement a working test and
trace system (remember the "world beating app last May?)


Would things have turned out any better if they had managed to do these
things any earlier? We would still have had the second wave of
infections in October 2020, which may well have wiped out most of the
sitting ducks that the spring 2020 outbreak didn't kill off.

No-one-knows. Not you, not me. When a proper inquiry is concluded we may
know more. It will certainly be found that the government made mistakes,
some of them knowable only in hindsight, some of them perhaps reasonably
foreseeable at the time. But as yet we don't know.

and then
throw £37,000,000,000 at an utterly useless system.

To add insult to injury they're going to give NHS workers a 1% pay
increase when they were promised 2%..


One minute you're complaining that too much money was spent, the next
that it's not enough. Which is it?

A bit more dosh would be more
welcome than patronising them with the clap every week.


I'm sure it would, but there are hundreds of thousands of private sector
workers who have *lost* a great deal of their incomes, and in many cases
their jobs. And there are more of them to come.

Not in the NHS, though, or in the public sector generally. You've all
been on full pay with rock-solid job security, some of you without
having to do a hand's turn of work. And you're still whining for more.

The problem is that this government is jam packed with inexperienced
one-trick-pony Brexireers. Johnson chucked out any opponents of the
beloved Brexit doctrine,and although still Tories by nature they would
probably have made a better fist of tackling Covid than this useless

No, there's a lot more to it than just one number.

Are you now going to claim the EU politicians had more foresight in
respect of the vaccine rollout?

A nice story, but wrong. EU members were able to use a rule to roll it
out early; but they chose not to.

I suppose you think it's going awfully well so far? All those lovely fish

Realists understand that was the result of long hours worked by the

Those who think further than minimal understanding will realise that the
UK government paid up front before trials had finished so manufacturing
would be well under way and supplies established.

Most of the work collating the evidence was carried out by the vaccine
manufacturers themselves. MRHA always had the opportunity of having the
data and conclusions hot off the press from the manufacturers, assuming
that is indeed what they did.

I'm sure many workers have worked long hours.

Many governments funded the research, while work done on SARS and
similar viruses over several years laid the foundation for the work.
However, the vaccine data was available to everybody at the same time.
The only difference between the vaccine rollout in the UK and that in
other countries was that the MRHA approved it much faster than the others.

Another difference was that production was already under way when the

acknowledge?

Think it's fairly certain the UK put in firm orders for the vaccine before
others. Could be because the incompetence of this government to set up
decent testing and track and trace meant the only option was to throw
money at that. Just as well they did considering they bungled just about
everything else Covid related.

There are always long lorry queues for ferry ports, and always have
been, for obvious reasons that are in the nature of ferry transport. You
might as well show a picture of people queuing at a boarding gate at
Gatwick and blame it on Brexit.

Operation Stack is normally only used when the Channel crossings are
closed due to industrial action, breakdown or severe weather. Brexit
caused an unprecedented number of lorries to be delayed without any of
those factors coming into play.

There are always long lorry queues for ferry ports, and always have
been, for obvious reasons that are in the nature of ferry transport.
You might as well show a picture of people queuing at a boarding gate
at Gatwick and blame it on Brexit.

Operation Stack is normally only used when the Channel crossings are
closed due to industrial action, breakdown or severe weather.


But ordinary queueing isn't. That's used all the time.

Operation Stack is normally only used when the Channel crossings are
closed due to industrial action, breakdown or severe weather. Brexit
caused an unprecedented number of lorries to be delayed without any of
those factors coming into play.


Has Operation Stack been in use, then?

If not, where are the queues?

Will you be asking for your money back, Doomy?


Some say the Brexit Dividend is the advanced rollout of the Covid
Vaccine.


Realists understand that was the result of long hours worked by the
people at MRHA to get the vaccines approved as quickly as possible. We
could have done that within the EU as well.


Of course. Even with us out of it, the EU gets blames for everything by
the UK press.

They just love a whipping boy.

Hate that term. The source of that term is such an utter
obscenity that only you poms could come up with.
