    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, it won't fail for the reasons stated, UNLESS a new variant overcomes us once again. In that case it still isn't failure, just as the current variants aren't being seen as failure Of course I believe it, it's all verifiable facts and why Woosh who has a lot of appropriate knowledge...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Because there's no such thing as seeing a failed vaccine roll-out because: It's already been admitted that the vaccines don't prevent infection but apparently reduce hospitalisation, thus excusing the vaccine for those who still get infected. The high and growing numbers who have contracted...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Our leaving the EU has created a lot of ill feeling among many EU citizens so I think that's more likely to be the reason. I'm not aware of any anti UK propaganda aimed at the EU countries by either the EU or the UK. I think the news alone over time has been carrying enough to annoy and I'm...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Just filled in the 2021 Census online. Didn't seem as nosey as some previous ones but had lots of double check pages as if suggesting the answer first given might not have been true. Perhaps they had Boris in mind. ;) .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It certainly doesn't help but we are far from alone as the article shows. I've long considered that BMI is causing some the problem. Most people with a BMI just over 25 aren't really fat so to call that overweight is offputting. Equally calling a BMI of 30 obese is both insulting and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't like those faults either, but they are unavoidable in the EU's temporary circumstances. In truth all democracies are a sham in practice, as the oft quoted saying goes in various ways, "Democracy is a very poor system of government but it's the best we've got". I don't have a degree...

    We will all get banned.

    The law cannot assume any manner of usage. That's why almost anything can be bought and bans on sale are so rare. The restrictions and partial ban on gun sales are one of the very rare examples. As an example on how bans on sale could be wrong, some years ago British Moto GP rider James...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It has to be pending any success in uniting all the countries into one and I do think it ok since it has the democratic safeguards that I pointed out. Like us where we couldn't vote out Dominic Cummings who was steering our ship by proxy, or vote out the Union leaders who were running...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Of course not, as a Commission member she is in an executive position subject to severe limits as you already know. There is no EU mechanism to remove her, there is a mechanism to prevent her acting and that is that the European Parliament can and often does overrule the Commission. That is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We have partial agreement in that the delay will be shortened, but that isn't only for logistical reasons. It's just been announced that there will be a doubling of the vaccination rate with half the doses going to second jabs and I see this as an admission that the 12/14 week delay policy was...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There is no single right in the application of the vaccines, it depends on the objective and in consequence the question asked. Decades of Tory government and their ten years of austerity had left the NHS in a parlous state with the lowest number of hospital beds per 100,000 of the population...

    Roundabout grumble about car drivers

    It is now because it's a racket controlled by the clubs. There was time when I could have qualified basic fixed wing with 16 half hour lessons at well under a hundred quid each. Last I looked it was at least 40 lessons but commonly 50 or 60 at goodness how much each. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Some of us think far more deeply than you give credit for, so you throw out random insults. I believe the medical advice behind the delaying decision is not for the benefit of the population but solely to protect the NHS. From that point of view it's a very good decision, albeit not an easy...
