    You don't have a side? I don't think I've read one post from you yet that talks about the opposition...

    As has been said by a few posters, you seem obsessed and have an unnatural hatred for Boris and Cummins. You fixate on what they've done wrong but what other MP's have been doing wrong seems somehow irrelevant, to you.

    The government have been fantastic with furlough and vaccine procurement. You ignore that which isn't the actions of somebody who is neutral.

    I believe the public are more to blame for the spread of the virus than the government.

    Another win chalked up for Brexit Britain...

    AstraZeneca’s chief executive has insisted the UK will come first for vaccines as he rejected calls to divert doses to the European Union following a breakdown in supply.

    Amid a growing row, Pascal Soriot, the French head of the pharmaceutical giant, said the UK was benefiting from being early to sign a contract for 100m doses.



    There is growing anger in Brussels and EU capitals at AstraZeneca’s announcement on Friday of a shortfall of more than 60% on the intended schedule of deliveries to the bloc in the first quarter of this year.

    EU threat will not impact Covid vaccine deliveries to UK, says minister

    While the UK has administered vaccine first doses to about 10% of adults and plans to vaccinate the most vulnerable 15 million – including all over-70s – by mid-February, the EU has reached 2% so far. The UK’s regulator approved the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine in late December and the EU’s is expected to do so on Friday.

    But Soriot said Downing Street would have first claim on the doses manufactured in the UK and that the EU would have to wait. “The UK agreement was reached in June, three months before the European one,” he said. “As you could imagine, the UK government said the supply coming out of the UK supply chain would go for the UK first. Basically, that’s how it is.”

    You know, there's a little clique of people, on here, who always resort to personal insults and who use each other to back up their claims. You seem unable to just continue a debate without claiming the support of other people or that other posters feel the same about me as you do. It's pointless attempting a discussion if you simply call me a liar when you don't agree with my comments.

    I'll leave it there, no offence but this is pointless.

    A reckoning is coming for bungling Bonko for his ineptitude over handling Covid19.

    Or is he like Trump, no matter what he does, his supporters will always vote him innocent?

    I remember him saying on the news there will be a full enquiry once the pandemic is over but now is not the time to do it he also says he will take full responsibility for it can’t see what else he can do at the moment because he can’t turn the clock back.

    1) I never insulted you
    2) I never called you a liar (this time)
    3) I've never mentioned how anybody or myself feels about you
    4) Stop acting like a victim

    Is this you needlessly deflecting, again?

    You've just said I'm lying about having a side man, no big deal.

    I'll leave you to your cutting & pasting, take care.

    Got to March 10 and couldn't keep going.

    I'm sure it over simplifies some stuff and omits some stuff all together, but still. It's grim viewing.

    The font used in the graphics and the voice over suggest that's taken from a BBC broadcast. I wonder if that is the case. Despite the fact that there's nothing factually incorrect in there, the "Led by Donkeys" logo at the end does nothing for its credibility.

    Grim, so many fatal errors from so many people and so many countries ...

    ... few worse than the PM to be honest.

    Some of that report is questionable but, my word, it's shameful how this was handled.

    It's not all hindsight. We knew at the time that events like Cheltenham were dangerous and many called for it to be stopped.

    But it's the endless incoming flights I wanted suspended in March last year until we could see what was happening. Now it's almost a year later and people are flying in from Mexico, India, USA, etc ...

    ... a handful of countries worse than us.

    I think they're trying to steal the BBCs credibility on a subconscious level by using their branding to be honest.

    It made me a bit jittery.

    That was my suspicion. I have no problem with our elected representatives being held to account for the mistakes they've made but I am not comfortable with the misinformation and propaganda that seems to be so common these days from all sides.

    Yeah it's getting easier and easier to use graphics and a green screen to stop yourself looking like some sort of low rent, mad quack, when really that's what most of them are.

    No, I never. You're back to your usual lying and hoping it sticks. I'll leave you be but I'll just remind everybody you were caught out doing this just a couple of weeks back which was confirmed by the site mod.

    They really don't like the administration do they!

    I've no doubt some incredibly vile people have made a killing off misery over the last 12 months.

    Much like every other year.
