Just for information. I have no issue with your broad comment regarding immigrants. Its the other reference I take real exception too. I have reported my concerns to the site and will await developments. I do so hope the issue can be resolved at the local level without me having to...

Now I’m sure it is just badly put but I do think you should edit your post. That section is about as racist a statement as you could make and is unworthy of you.

Corr. Did not realise you were such an authority. British and Swedish citizenship. You must be an expert. Sadly I’m simply a poor Brit who reckons there is enough nastiness in the world without adding to it by attributing the worst to anyone and anything until proof is provided to the contrary.

And you can give it a rest as well. Geesh does every comment have to come with a Brexit free clause.

Give it a rest. Part of the Oxford/AZ deal was for the vaccine to be rolled out at cost on a not for profit basis not only for the duration of the pandemic but in perpetuity to third world and poorer countries. Heck they have even licenced the Indian SSI to produce 1 billion doses although...

Apologies for not being clearer. As far as I am concerned the EU is a very wealthy bloc so nah on that front poorer countries are those that are economically poor. Could not give a monkeys whether they are in the Commonwealth. Not trying to point score in any direction just would like my...

Like you I do so hope we can come to some sort of arrangement. I’d also like my country to state that as (like most wealthy countries) we will have vaccines coming out of every orifice in the next few months that we will be donating our excess supply to the poorer countries that will be in...

Yes stupidly we have but the EU with its action has inadvertently presented the U.K. with an open goal. The other downside is that it has provided the Brexiteers with an almost ‘I told you so’ moment particularly when the No Hard Border was an EU red line. Just see the bounce the Tories get...

And what has any of that to do with, in this instance, the EU having well and truly fecked up both with their late vaccine procurement and their decision to invoke article 16 in Ireland. Trump and Johnson combined could’nt have done a better job had they been in charge of the EU. Even worse is...

Totally agree but sadly the stupid action of the EU has let the genie out of the bottle with regards to the Article 16. Given the difficulties NI is facing over essential supplies I am sure the DUP will attempt to pressurise the government to using Article 16 itself on the basis of ‘sauce for...

If there was ever a way of hardening anti EU sentiment.......difficult to imagine a more effective way. Who was advising the EU. Would’nt have been Farage by any chance would it?

Agreed. Whatever the EU fears over the vaccine it is an unwise decision they have come to. For over 4 years they have rightly been insisting that there should be no hard border in Ireland. If anyone was going to break it you would have bet your life’s savings that it would have been the U.K...

And just how does that square with the EU saying that vaccines manufactured in the EU not being able to leave the bloc without authorisation. Talk about not shitting on poorer countries when the EU seem as if they are prepared to spread excrement across the world unless their own are protected...

Oh dear you are selective. Never mind enough said.

And whilst I am at it if I were you at this stage I would be a tad more considered iin deciding who comes out of this the worst in the long run. If I am honest I am playing devils advocate here for I do believe our figures are likely to be the direst in Europe but I will posit the following...
