There are 7 people over 75 living in my short street. Lockdowns and isolating kept them all alive. I’m happy with that, despite several 20-somethings in the street moaning that they’re bored. It is pretty shitty for the younger folk - not being able to do stuff that we've all been able to do at tha...

Just a reminder of the facts: UK Death rate is about 0.08% The median age for all Covid related deaths is over 80 years of age. Carry on. Yep - something like 150K dead in the UK, and that's with all the counter measures we've already taken. It's why we need to be extremely careful in the future an...

So not an actual person or a specific agency or group? Just anyone? Well there was Bimbo, then message, then merry.

Why are our Irish step-cousins forgetting the relationship we have with their country and how it benefits them far more than us. Given the flow of people between the two it would make sense if the UK helps as it seems their Federalist Government is unable to at this time. Vaccinating Irish citizens...

He's doing it for Northern Ireland. If we lag too far behind, we're going to be sending infected people across the border. We have an open land border with Ireland, makes sense that once we ease restrictions, we won't be sending any virus to eire. And there is the cynical reason: Give the vaccines ...

If we have 80%+ immunised we don't have a pandemic. We don't know that for sure yet... but let's not worry too much about whether that can be achieved. Let's instead look at the question of how we will know we've reached 80%? Some sort of, oh I dunno... f**king passport? I'm not talking about an in...

Not signing a contract because you don't think you can meet it comes under common sense/good management/being cautious. Hardly due to how EU/AZ are behaving. I suspect the EU want a defined delivery schedule not "best efforts". No one's happy when you can't meet an expected delivery schedule in any...

The Vunipola's are both the answer and the problem for me. Take out those 2, who is a consistent carrier in the pack? Curry, George, Sinckler from the current crop.

This thread is interesting in how it shows how quickly relationships can deteriorate once discussions are wrapped in the flags of nationalism.

Great, so are you going to also stop insinuating we give our vaccines to the EU now?

So, the EU formally blocks vaccine exports Wow..just wow. This won't end well.

An appalling question to ask of someone who is defending the UK and attacking the EU for asking that exact question? Yes it's personal not related at all to Governmental shenanigans.

In reality I think politicians are mentioning "new" as it detracts from their current situations. You don't have to find an angle for everything.
