Why wouldn"t it? Ireland has been vacinating for a couple of weeks, im sure the rest of the Eu has to, we aren"t in front of anybody, except death rates unfortunately.

The highest death rate per capita is Belgium. Luckily for them they’re still in the EU or they’d really be in trouble.

Yes, i was going on a couple days ago figures, we have the third worst death rate in the world, behind Belgium and Slovenia, but ahead of our european neighbours Italy, who are fifth, and Spain right down in thirteenth, Germany and Ireland are so far down they don"t register!

Reading the detail of the Nissan news it's basically that they are no longer planning on moving anything because we've managed to get a deal that means UK production will continue to meet EU standards and therefore does not impact upon their EU market access. So maintaining the status quo of what would have happened if we had stayed in the EU.

Good to know that maintaining the pre-Brexit status quo is news to celebrate.

It's because they haven't approved it yet, but don't let get in the way of slagging them off.

Why haven’t they? Don’t want to be seen as admitting the U.K. did it better and quicker?

Thanks for the link, so we are third best vacinators in the world, ahead of Ireland in 7, spain in 8, Italy in 10, Germany 11 and france 13. Thats good going, except the phiser jab should be delivered in 3 weeks intervals, the makers say so, the who say so, but boris says 3 months will do, who knew boris knew more than the vaccine maker? I have had the first jab myself, but not sure if waiting 3 months will make it null and void. Also, i would look at the death rate table, we are third worst in the world, ahead of european countries like Ireland, spain, france, germany- need i go on?

Is this not the sort of reason why some wished to leave? Unelected bureaucrats telling Governments how to run their countries.

We did yes but tbh our house needs sorting reference benefits and checks to who and why.
Too many on the gravy train which spain and many countries have a problem with. Stop listening to the handwringing headline grabbing minority and look at how pissed off the majority are. Tax and spend is ok in my book but how its spent is the issue.

I only watched a documentary on this yesterday. And it was about Devon and Cornwall. The guy is a fish exporter. The fishermen aren't interested in that anymore. Many fishermen have decided to bring their own fish to market due to Covid largely. Brexit has sped that up too. The middlemen are facing the squeeze. To some extent also going on in farming. Fishermen have realised they are a lot better off to sell to either the end users or the retail outlets outright - getting better prices for their catch.

You could be right asc, but better tell that bloke in devon and the scottish blokes on the news, before parliament stinks, maybe to late for that!

Fishermen cannot get their catch to the EU market quick enough since brexit, they are not fresh enough.

For europe, the idea of buying from the UK still stands, but the UK is now too uncompetitive to make it worth-while.

There is no reason why they would pay customs and import charges, collect VAT for the UK and face supply delays for whatever reason.

According go the CBI a third of UK exports are lost and it is not 'teething' but integral to brexit.

But the money has to come from somewhere - maybe furlough is where it’s been going rather than Boris spending it on viagra and hair gel.
