    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The situations are utterly different. The UK average population density is 10 times that of Sweden. The UK urban population in London and Bermingham is 6 times the urban populations in Swedish cities . Swedes are less touchy feely than even Londoners. , Let alone Geordies . And of course unlike...

    The problem is what happens after the pub or restaurant closes. The few mates congregate in someone's back garden , and kitchen.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The assumption that Pubs and Restaurants are not vectors is highly erroneous. Basically the test and trace never goes back far enough. Once a case is identified as positive, they immediately go back the 3 days to find out who that person has contacted after becoming infective. But they don't...

    Of course not .. on buses and trains, at least the Windows open ,and 25% occupancy can be set up. But the airline industry are are now on their uppers . If the trip to Malaga was 70 quid, then the extra 10 is wearable..

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    OG.. these very quick non amplified tests are cheap in reagents . I see them as being part of a right to travel . They take maybe 30 minutes from sample to printout, and cost under 10 quid. They are not perfect , but at about 95%, they make flights workable. If there was a 15 quid surcharge on...

    I have seen those full face visor things.. being used ..its a foam backed flexible transparent semi cylindrical plastic panel. It covers from eyes to chin, and allows glasses underneath. If one has difficulty breathing, it is an alternative. I was given one to wear when doing the heart stress...

    Then the obvious next question was ... What are the bottlenecks and what are you doing about them?.

    Hello!!. ..look at my address. British jingoism is not in my DNA. The point about fleets is that the British had one, the Germans had a few (powerful) ships.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not disputing any of this . That is how it panned out of course. Had Russia stayed out ..both of Poland initially and then against Germany,after being attacked, then Poland might very well have blunted German expansion. They were incapable of a two pronged attack, but from Germany alone,it would...

    Yes. But the Empire still had the greatest fleet. I am not saying it would have been easy,and remember Japan joining hostilities was linked to the Americans.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The French did produce such persons, but even his right wing daughter effectively disowned him. I do suspect that the UK and the British Empire would have in the long run have beaten the Germans in WW2 . ..Even if the Russians had not been attacked. However had the Russians become the allies of...

    The debacle over the WA bill, will cost the UK dearly if they are looking for financial services cooperation. The speech today by Ursla VdL to the EU Parliament was uncharacteristically forthright.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Whether the WA is as of now voided, is the grist to lawyers mills . But yes that is the potential situation. A significant number of senior Civil Servants and ex PMs are voicing those concerns. You make a deal with a Chinese company for 1000 bikes complete with a detailed specification. They...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sue? Woosh, it seems that almost everyone on one side of this discussion is blind to the reality. By even tabling the Act, the UK side have breached the Treaty. That voids the entire treaty, ..not a small bit in a limited sense ,but the full WA Treaty. And it is the EUs choice whether to let...
