    I sort of like Steve Baker as he has been pretty consistent with Brexit and Covid. I know a few of the 'usual suspects' seem to think his groups ERG and CRG are some how sinister but I wouldn't expect anything else from them. He does offer some alternitive views especially on Brexit where his early stuff was spot on. Oliver's army is here to stay!

    I assume this is just a wind-up as hardly anyone is enough of a **** to actually like Steve Baker. The bloke has about as much interest in “Covid Recovery” as he does in “European Research”. It’s a very transparent front.

    Yes, he was good on Brexit. I think he and his ERG colleagues are rushing things on Covid recovery and I'd back Johnson on this. Easy does it, while the vaccine rolls out.

    Let the scientists do the detective work. Steve should be sitting back and Watching the Detectives :emoticon-0100-smile

    Sorry Watford was waffling. God give me strength! :emoticon-0100-smile
    Yes agree, his work on Brexit was superb and he received many plaudits for his microscopic analyses. He said today that he was not an expert on covid but was looking more at the economic effects. Boris has now done a top job with the roll outs and is bringing well needed confidence back into the country.

    Am i correct in thinking that France and another European country have fully vaccinated more people than the UK, as we are on the first dose. I may have got this wrong so forgive my ignorance if so.

    He does give confidence to those who bizarrely pretend he’s Jesus-like to convince themselves Brexit is going really well.

    Watford accidents will happen but in the long run it will work out The Irish border was a brilliant mistake and has shown us that the commission are just a bunch of 2222's. I hope you are happy now. :emoticon-0100-smile

    Well if your Party could just stop doing their best to trash the prospects of young people with their ideology for the benefit of comfortably off old **** Express readers that would be a big help.

    I managed to get three in this post. Poor old Watford hasn't got a Scooby! <laugh>
    What's even funnier is he mentions young people... that's the advantage of having a few more years on my side. :emoticon-0100-smile

    Do I get any additional points for calling you a stupid **** lost forever in anti-EU propaganda and incapable of defending your views?

    We’re behind various European countries on that metric though it’s clearly not a fair comparison as we aren’t trying to get good numbers on that. The single dose strategy still makes sense for a country absolutely swamped with infections.

    I'm so glad I got an Irish passport to keep my freedom of movement and more importantly my wife's European health card. Might have to start following the Republic in the footy now!
