Many of us are already in Thailand and guess what. Very little corona virus here.

Still you guys were lucky enough to have Johnson in charge who made sure it never became an issue in the UK.

Oh wait. He totally screwed up as expected and caused one (if not the highest) death rates in the world.

Its not like he couldnt see it coming or anything could he?

The images from hospitals in Italy and Spain were pretty graphic but of course Johnson could rely on that plucky Dunkirk spirit to get us out of the mire. Somehow the British would be immune owing to their superior genes eh?

Rule Britannia, Britannia waves the rules.  

You seem to have an obsession regarding johnson,the rot of political correctness in the uk started long before boris won his landslide election.

So a recovery from the Brexit vote is gradual but the markets the day after the referendum saw the pound plummet. 

Surely the uncertainty is over with now and the markets should absolutely jump back towards their former levels?

Or is this just a slight uptick in the value of the pound before those vile speculators (Farages's mates) reap profit? 

 "Vile speculators" ? Are you referring to the "money markets "?

I was wondering the same. As far as I know the EU don't have control over who AZ take orders from. 

Perhaps AZ thought the future of the eu looked suspect and didn,t want to get knocked.

Don't flatter yourself.

ALL your post are written like that.

It would be a sign of respect to other posters if you would use proper punctuation.

Note for the milkman? Does the milkman not deserve respect? Soon you might sing

 that Herman Hermits song......

All your post are written like that? Out of respect for other posters shouldn,t you try writing posts they can understand?

The only possibllity of bad punctuation was i should have used a capital letter instead of lower case for the letter I, Is that the best you can do?and as for my milkman,no i haven,t got any respect for him,hes a pig ignorant slag.

True, you did not steel my bike.

But you ruined my belief in the possibility of intelligent discussions about Brexit.

And in the possibility to apply the same punctuation on this forum.

 

Just a small suggestion, so that your post could become readable instead of barely decryptable:

Replace "Temper temper,i didn,t steal your bike." by "Temper, temper. I didn't steal your bike".

Or better even: Think of a better reply.

you,reWelcome.

I place as much effort into the content presentation in replying to one of your posts as i do in leaving a note for the milkman.

On your second point,totally agree when one observes the number of  eu residents not recieving their vaccine,but spot of decorum old boy we,re talking about peoples lives.

I think it will be the EU countries citizens who are harmed, without timely access to the vaccines.

True and thats a fact respective members citizens should take up with their respective governments,and if they,re mugged off with the old chestnut " we can,t do anything,we,re bound by eu rules " demand a peoples election.britain did it and proved the benefits of decisive independant leadership in procuring vaccine for its citizens.

I have some sympathy for Johnson ( and by extension our Brexiteer brethren), it can’t be easy being caught between a rock and a hard place; on the one hand driven to begging the EU for an extension of ‘grace’ while on the other being directed by Washington on the limits of a our options when dealing with Ireland.

 

What a very strange ‘sovereignty’ this is?!

 

What an utterly humiliating Brexit mess?!

Will you admit that the European parlement and government  is up to the Europeans, not you?

You're out of the club, so stop medling in the club's rules.

Tell our elected government then,was thinking of going into politics but couldn,t afford the drop in money.

Not good or bad...  just when you deal with countries or trading blocks for that matter....  they will always act in their own interests... if you have common interests... that is great... if you want to deal... you go to the negotiating table say what you want, what you can offer... the other side does the same... if you can find through negotiations an agreement acceptable to both and both have determined that overall it is in their own interests overall... then you can come up with an agreement... if not... that is fine too...  Just don't expect the EU to represent or care about the interests of the UK...   All this whinging about the EU not treating the UK like they are special... well, I am sorry to say the UK is not special.

Then you have no problem with the 2.5 million or so  EU nationals living in the UK.

 

Nor the approximately 1.8 million UK nationals doing the same in the EU.

 

I know facts are anathema to the average Brexiteer, but read it if you dare; you'll find that the FoM directive has never allowed anyone to move to another EU member state in order to ponce.

Fine in theory,abused in practise,aided and abetted by previous government's too apathetic and possibly frightened ( after all they didn't want to jeopardise their financial futures when the punters realise what j,arthurs they were and voted them out) and could waltz into a lucrative appointment in brussels.no wonder we had a parliament of remainers,how bitter they were when the peasants actually revolted,not just once with the peoples vote on leave but also when boris got elected in a landslide victory in a two horse election.

European MP's are elected, unlike your House of Weird Lords.

Perhaps they are,it seems a lot of the brussels government aren,t, "wierd lords" thats up to the uk,not you.
