    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The drug companies are taking the mickey. Pfizers announcement that three of their doses can neutralise Omicron must be wishful thinking as well. Three more payments to them per person! Quite apart from whether it's true, how much more will the public stand? It's proving increasingly...

    He'd love that! A neat deflection from parties. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Of course he won't resign. The press conference that is just being held shows the ploy he's using. Backed up by Chris Whitty and Patrick Vallance, the three of them are deflecting anything about the alleged party back to the subject of Omicron and how well they can rely upon the public's...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Possibly, but the party odds are against that while they have a big majority that their far right can exploit. Boris gave them that big majority, would Jeremy Hunt? .

    I dont know who they'd choose, possibly Raab or Sunak, but it's hypothetical, Johnson isn't going anywhere. .

    But we'll still have to wait for the next GE. Just swapping Boris for another of his party won't solve anything. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    After his much publicised performance as the worst Foreign Secretary ever, everybody knew so there's no excuse. It's a democracy, after that a majority made him an MP and another majority made him PM. Too late to protest now, we'll have to wait until the next GE. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That was already common knowledge when he was elected as an MP and when he was further elected to be PM, both by members of the public. So what is the point of protesting now when he acts in accordance with what we all already knew and should have expected? .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Maybe, but we rarely get what we deserve in this life. For well over half a century our policians have been continuously lying to us, Blair even famously re-spelt as Bliar after his protestations. Remember cabinet minister Jonathan Aitken and his "Sword of Truth" claim, the same sword that...

    . Ditto. But while I also think we CAN can get rid of burning fossil fuel in my lifetime, I doubt we actually will, going by our long history of failure to do what is necessary and even essential. .

    They would wouldn't they. Probably not too chuffed at Pfizer being the booster after two AZs. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed, just as the French tried to hang onto their North African empire. And we didn't need much coercion since we too tried to hang onto Empire as our actions in Aden and Cyprus showed. That hanging onto empire by both France and Britain resulted in unnecessary wars. .

    As the new nuclear and more wind turbines come on stream we'll be able to stop burning coal. Hopefully stop burning woodchip too. .

    In a sense yes. It's to study the way in which the vaccines will slowly kill us prematurely over time. ( The next time you see this reply it will be on the conspiracy theorists websites! ;) ) .

    Bicycles to pay road tax

    Not just possible, it's the only way. It cannot be added to all electricity prices since e-cars can charge and will just be charged from household supplies, which cannot have extremely high taxes added. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Absolutely. Running any country is an utterly thankless task since it's impossible to please more than a minority with any decision taken. Faced with someone wanting to invade to do it, one should be delighted, rollout the red carpet, hand them the key to the office and offer them a cup of tea. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No they aren't, they bravely stand their ground waving a white flag. It's the Italians like my relatives who have the good sense to run away and refuse to fight. Their military skills were well portrayed in the TV program "Allo, Allo" by character Captain Alberto Bertorelli and his scruffy...
