Of course that is true, but leaving the EU is done and dusted and probably won't be undone for a very long time, if ever. So that isn't in any way an answer and answers are needed now. Otherwise keep on floundering around in the mess BJ and co. created. .

Indeed don't let facts get in the way, where have i ever said Sweden has defeated the virus? I've only ever claimed that their policy will produce better results than ours, and it has done. .

As much as I have sympathies with both Northern Ireland's position and yours, the supermarkets are businesses with responsibilities to shareholders. If buying from EU suppliers is a commercial solution to the protocol problems, then so be it. The whole answer lies in the hands of Northern...

Japan and NZ have nothing to do with this issue, that's you "playing this". In reponse to my contentions in favour of Sweden's voluntary approach, you and many others insisted they would do far worse than our enforced approach. YOU WERE WRONG, THEY DID FAR BETTER. Despite being wrong then...

There's no grounds for a campaign since pedelec full acting throttles are already permitted in Britain by getting single vehicle approval. Inconvenient and costs £55, but so what? It's inconvenient that motorists have to pay VED (road tax) and MOT their vehicles, but that's the law. Theres...

Quite a lot, but nowhere near as much as Rishi Sunak has squandered. .

You are both going to be so disappointed when this doesn't happen. Remember my promotion of Sweden's method last year when this forum was united against me, saying Sweden was going to suffer terribly? Instead they ended up far better than us with our 50% more deaths pro rata to population...

Like all of us, they should self protect of course. Just because the government says we don't HAVE to do something doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't. People don't have to use sun-screen by law, but it's a damn good idea to do so. This is one of the curses of the welfare state, people...

But they are a tiny proportion of that over 5 millions who are the trouble makers. .

Quote: "54,674 tested positive today, 40.6% increase in the last 7 days, while the country is still under numerous restrictions." Nothing to do with my safe situation. The explanation for that 54,674 is simple. Some 19% of those 50 and over have not accepted the vaccines. Some 27 millions...

That was my first thought too! He doen't just make things go away, like his ferries they don't even exist in the first place. .

Of course not, they've either been put down to Covid or masked by it. Haven't you seen my posts saying that Covid is grossly over recorded? Reduced yes, because the Covid jabs probably have some protection against 'flu. But to say there's been no 'flu cases is bunkum, I doubt that is...

You really shouldn't make such rash and untrue assumptions. I do all my laundry within my own flat. There are no big lads swinging past my door and I use the peephole and my ears before I exit to be solitary. If there's people hanging around in the hall or just outside, I use my back door...

I'm quite sure it won't. Firstly many of us have inherent protection, I'm one of them for these reasons: a) Like almost a third of the country, mine is a single houshold. b) Like many millions I'm retired, so no workplace mixing. c) Like very large numbers all my leisure pursuits are in...

You'd think that as Health Secretary he'd know better than trust one of his tests! .

The Covid ones only buy 50% because the vaccines are not good enough, the 'flu vaccines are better. And living with Covid isn't an option until we have real vaccines that work well enough. Meanwhile we live with it or die from it, whether we like it or not. All we can do personally is avoid...

I fully agree. In fact I went to the trouble of getting in touch with the waste contractor's management to thank them for the excellent service we received through the difficulties of the epidemic. Two of them in turn visited to thank me. I think they must have fed it back to the staff since...

It will soon get worse. Every year here we get this problem when the school summer holiday means council staff are away on holiday. In 2019 we went five weeks then without a collection, our bin rooms infested with thousands of maggots. .

Now we have good vaccines against it. .

Se my greatly edited post above. Even allowing for the delay, Covid is still being greatly overplayed. .
