Thriving and Prospering

I recall lots of talk of of thriving and prospering once the U.K. was free of the bureaucratic shackles of the EU.

Can anyone tell us when the thriving and prospering will start? So far we have not seen any kind of surge representing confidence and liberation.

Was Jacob Rees Mogg right when he said that it will take 50 years to see any kind of uplift?

Don’t worry. Our fish is happy and we are vaccinating.

For the rest, close your eyes let your fantasies take control and you’ll see the sunny uplands. Don’t take off too far and end up in Northern Ireland or on a Scottish fishing port or even in the City as reality might catch you up.

Just enjoy your sovereignty.

This is starting to sound like a Monty Python sketch already.

1 month in and in the middle of a pandemic? Really?

But yes, on the single most important issue of the day, the vaccine, the UK are miles ahead of the EU, which is a perfect example of what one nation can do better than a sclerotic bloated organisation. Everyone should be grateful for Brexit already

Covid vaccine decisions have little to do with Brexit.

The MHRA’s decision was taken in accordance with the relevant EU legislation, which allows member states to grant temporary authorisation for a medicinal product in response to the spread of infectious diseases.

This legislation still applied to the UK until the end of the transition period. Any EU member state could have used the same provision of the legislation to approve the vaccine.

If one or more of the EU member stateso had decided to follow the UK’s path and procure its own vaccines, no one would have stopped them. The member states were in no way obliged to take part in the EU’s joint vaccine procurement scheme.

The fact they decided not to was for their political and technical reasons, not legal ones.

But why let the facts get in the way of misinformed opinion.

Exactly, you've answered your own question. European Union members deciding against going it alone for political reasons. Absolutely risible and it will cost many lives.

Two things...

Vaccinations (like many issues) had nothing to do with the EU. Countries can and do make their own decisions. We were in the EU (via the transition arrangement) when the U.K. vaccination programme started.

Being in the middle of a pandemic would not stop us receiving good new would it? The thought of all the “red tape” reducing (lol) and a country open to the world would surely have delivered assurances and utterances from global industrialists and investors about how they would be piling into the U.K. post-Brexit. I am just surprised at how little of this supposed pent-up potential is being translated into even words, let alone action.

The single most important fact is the vaccine and not the fact that that bumbling buffoon actons has resulted in us having 1 of the worst death rates in the world.

We've moved from.

1. Brexit will bring benefits right away. Just don't ask for any details.

2. Brexit will bring benefits at some point.

3. We will soon have news about when to expect the brexit benefits.

And now we're at:

4. We don't know when we will have news about when to expect the brexit benefits. But it's the fault of the EU/Remainers/covid.

It still remains that it has very to do with Brexit as the UK used EU legislation to procure vaccines.

There is a whole new discussion about the procurement process of EU.

These are differences.

Personally, I'm just reporting that Gove has been instructed to ask for a two year extension to the grace period for full implementation. The sort of thing that the EU was offering last year but the government told them to stuff off. I give no comment upon the political reasons for making the request, or the social implications thereof.

Feel free to give us some of the brexit positives for balance.

After all we were told "there is no downside to brexit, only a considerable upside".

So far we've seen a nonstop stream of the downside. Surely the "considerable upside" should come soon, and will surpass all the problems it's created?

Political reasons you have hit the nail on the head the eu sole reason for being.Do you honestly believe that the uk would have gone it alone if still in the eu?.I dont think so for one minute the political unity is too important to the eu.If you do what is your reasoning?

Yes, they would have ‘gone it alone’, have some faith in the people you voted for

Never would of happened, we would have towed the line with the other member states and if you honestly believe we wouldn't have you are deluded mate. To the EU unity was everything in this."

You will never get a remainer to admit that ive tried several times asking and not one of them will give me an answer or reason for their thoughts.

"Another brexit moan thread one month in and middle of a pandemic lol

Feel free to give us some of the brexit positives for balance.

After all we were told "there is no downside to brexit, only a considerable upside".

So far we've seen a nonstop stream of the downside. Surely the "considerable upside" should come soon, and will surpass all the problems it's created? 400 jobs in Teesside on radio this morning something to do with an energy plant costing 300 million I think I only fought arse end of it also quorn are expanding there factory up here I know there not thousands of jobs yet but you asked me for a positive mate

That is good news, do you think the jobs would have been created if we stayed in the EU? "

who knows mate I couldn’t tell ya that only got the end of it I think it’s down where the old steel works where lots of development down there now that the council bought the land back of the thias it’s a massive area company’s popping up left right centre down there will be a huge shock if we don’t get a free port tho

"This is starting to sound like a Monty Python sketch already.

1 month in and in the middle of a pandemic? Really?

But yes, on the single most important issue of the day, the vaccine, the UK are miles ahead of the EU, which is a perfect example of what one nation can do better than a sclerotic bloated organisation. Everyone should be grateful for Brexit already

Covid vaccine decisions have little to do with Brexit.

The MHRA’s decision was taken in accordance with the relevant EU legislation, which allows member states to grant temporary authorisation for a medicinal product in response to the spread of infectious diseases.

This legislation still applied to the UK until the end of the transition period. Any EU member state could have used the same provision of the legislation to approve the vaccine.

If one or more of the EU member stateso had decided to follow the UK’s path and procure its own vaccines, no one would have stopped them. The member states were in no way obliged to take part in the EU’s joint vaccine procurement scheme.

The fact they decided not to was for their political and technical reasons, not legal ones.

But why let the facts get in the way of misinformed opinion.

Political reasons you have hit the nail on the head the eu sole reason for being.Do you honestly believe that the uk would have gone it alone if still in the eu?.I dont think so for one minute the political unity is too important to the eu.If you do what is your reasoning?

Do you have faith in the leader and government you voted for or not?

No one can categorically state this wouldn't have happened if we'd stayed in the EU. Just as no one can categorically state that it would have.

If you say so

I'm just pointing out that we left over a year ago so why are we concentrating on the last 4 weeks.

I'm not one of these people who wants things done instantly. If we speak about the real 'transmission period' it's gonna take years to get some shit sorted.

I know in my industry the EU completely fucks us I 2016 and now the UK are looking to take us back to sensible regulations. But it's not going to happen overnight

I don't know is it? I was not talking about brexit. I was only referring to the EU vaccination scheme and our own, and no you are right i can't prove it but I would have been willing to gamble a years wage on the fact we would not have gone our own way, would you have done the same I wonder. I am just glad people are being vaccinated, including my parents this week, and I am glad we did go our own way and not follow the EU and are getting on with it so that hopefully less people will lose loved ones, and its plain to see if we had of followed the EU we would not have vaccinated 10 million because they are nowhere near that figure and won't be for a while by looks of it.

I am just glad people are being vaccinated, including my parents this week, and I am glad we did go our own way and not follow the EU and are getting on with it so that hopefully less people will lose loved ones, and its plain to see if we had of followed the EU we would not have vaccinated 10 million because they are nowhere near that figure and won't be for a while by looks of it."

They will prob just get on with not having the worst death rate in the world.

"This is starting to sound like a Monty Python sketch already.

1 month in and in the middle of a pandemic? Really?

But yes, on the single most important issue of the day, the vaccine, the UK are miles ahead of the EU, which is a perfect example of what one nation can do better than a sclerotic bloated organisation. Everyone should be grateful for Brexit already

Covid vaccine decisions have little to do with Brexit.

The MHRA’s decision was taken in accordance with the relevant EU legislation, which allows member states to grant temporary authorisation for a medicinal product in response to the spread of infectious diseases.

This legislation still applied to the UK until the end of the transition period. Any EU member state could have used the same provision of the legislation to approve the vaccine.

If one or more of the EU member stateso had decided to follow the UK’s path and procure its own vaccines, no one would have stopped them. The member states were in no way obliged to take part in the EU’s joint vaccine procurement scheme.

The fact they decided not to was for their political and technical reasons, not legal ones.

But why let the facts get in the way of misinformed opinion.

Political reasons you have hit the nail on the head the eu sole reason for being.Do you honestly believe that the uk would have gone it alone if still in the eu?.I dont think so for one minute the political unity is too important to the eu.If you do what is your reasoning?

Yes, they would have ‘gone it alone’, have some faith in the people you voted for

Never would of happened, we would have towed the line with the other member states and if you honestly believe we wouldn't have you are deluded mate. To the EU unity was everything in this.

It is, you don’t have to tell me who you voted for? , It might explain why you think the UK didn’t follow the EUs vaccine programme though,

Well good for them, maybe there death rates will be less when everything is ironed out and maybe it won't, but surely you would agree its better to be vaccinated than not, you are always commenting on the state of our NHS on this site, how it is underfunded and its staff over worked, but with every single person vaccinated that pressure gets less, which has to be a good thing if you truly care about our health service in this country.

Probably not, although personally I dont think the Corbyn would have been any better even though he got my vote, there wasn't a strong candidate fielded by any party in my opinion.

He probably wouldn't have prioritised giving over £20 billion to his chums for sub par PPE.

I'm still waiting for you to suggest where all the old folk from the hospitals that were sent back to the care homes could have gone, it's the major issue at the beginning that caused a lot of deaths, many criticise the decision but never offer an alternative as to where they could be sent, the hospitals couldn't keep them as they needed the beds, so let's hear what you would have done ?

Don’t be too specific or ask for detail. We’re talking Boris here...

We didnt have the testing capacity so few were, but that is irrelevant as there wasnt the space in hospitals for them, I dont know where they could have sent them, it's easy to sit on the sidelines and criticise but unless there are suggestions for an alternative then its petty to criticise, I've not seen SKS have much to say on the subject as he knows there was little choice.

However if it’s the EU or Corbyn you go at great lengths to accuse them of every evil in the most uncompromising fashion. I may as well suggest ideas or have a debate with my garage door.

Another political stunt, like UNICEF. We know how immoral and rotten those organisations are compared to our angelic and trustworthy Boris or Rees Mogg.

I answered. I told you not where the most vulnerable are.

If the French had done the same thing you’d have told us that the EU is the most disgusting thing on the planet.

If you don’t even have enough awareness to realise that you’re completely infatuated and that you have lost all sense of objectivity, there’s no point in debating. Whatever is done by any donkey with a blue rosette I s beyond reproach.

I mean, I’m certainly not perfect but I do try to see things objectively. I’d be the first one to admit that Bojo has got the vaccine right and that the EU has fucked up the vaccine. I’d also say that the furlough scheme has also been working relatively well. yourself and a few of the Tory lovers are even more in love with Boris than the Telegraph. Impossible for them to be in the wrong.

Sending people to care homes without testing them was criminal. And if it’d been Labour doing I would have said the same thing.

I’m asking again about Cygnus.

Because Labour left no money to the tories in 2010?

Remember that the tories have told you can’t compare deaths between countries. It’s bad and it’s inaccurate! You’re compromising the party line!

I'm still waiting for you to suggest where all the old folk from the hospitals that were sent back to the care homes could have gone, it's the major issue at the beginning that caused a lot of deaths, many criticise the decision but never offer an alternative as to where they could be sent, the hospitals couldn't keep them as they needed the beds, so let's hear what you would have done ?

Where they tested before they were released?

Don’t be too specific or ask for detail. We’re talking Boris here...

Tested or not is insignificant. Boris is the God of the universe!

Another one who can criticise but never offers a realistic alternative

You realise it's their job to make these decisions?

It is of course but as you cant give an alternative it shows there wasnt one

Why not put them in the nightingale?

Yes that would have helped, but they didnt exist when most were moved out of hospitals which is exactly why they were moved out, hopefully the lessons will have been learnt and next time there will be a choice.

At least you did come up with an idea

Why was there not enough room in the hospitals?

Because Labour left no money to the tories in 2010? "

The same reason there wasnt enough room in hospitals in other countries, remember the chinese building the ones in wuhan ? Do you have a dozen spare bedrooms just incase family visit, do you have a couple of spare cars incase one breaks ? Empty beds and wards are very expensive, no doubt when the inquiry happens a decision will be needed on how to prepare incase another virus happens.

It's not comparing deaths between countries, it's the percentage of deaths within countries.

What’s the point? Your rockstar can do no wrong. Some of you are so infatuated that even the worst things this gvt have done are excused or explained with the most stupid arguments. Have you heard of Cygnus? Come on, tell us the tories’ excuse for that one? Popcorn is ready. I’m all ears.

However if it’s the EU or Corbyn you go at great lengths to accuse them of every evil in the most uncompromising fashion. I may as well suggest ideas or have a debate with my garage door.

So that's a " no I have no idea what the alternative was"

Keep digging mate you're so see through.

I answered. I told you not where the most vulnerable are.

If the French had done the same thing you’d have told us that the EU is the most disgusting thing on the planet.

If you don’t even have enough awareness to realise that you’re completely infatuated and that you have lost all sense of objectivity, there’s no point in debating. Whatever is done by any donkey with a blue rosette I s beyond reproach.

I mean, I’m certainly not perfect but I do try to see things objectively. I’d be the first one to admit that Bojo has got the vaccine right and that the EU has fucked up the vaccine. I’d also say that the furlough scheme has also been working relatively well. yourself and a few of the Tory lovers are even more in love with Boris than the Telegraph. Impossible for them to be in the wrong.

Sending people to care homes without testing them was criminal. And if it’d been Labour doing I would have said the same thing.

I’m asking again about Cygnus. "

The stripping down of local NHS resources and the closure of local hospitals over the last 20 years or so was consequential in there being nowhere to send the infected to - other than back to their care homes.

So it works for this but for not for the death rate? Seriously...

I’ll give another reason why they couldn’t be discharged in Nightingale hospitals. It’s partly because they were not staffed? And why are we so short of nurses, doctors as well as cops, teachers etc...

There wasnt the testing capacity at the time, and they were far more likely to catch it in hospital,as I said previously the old people we know who caught covid did so in hospital.

I have to mention has anyone noticed the massive lie given by the government over extending the vaccination being extended .

Firstly I have to say I am delighted we are vaccinating more than most of the world and equally delighted the vaccine this week was shown to be working against the transmission. A bonus.

The extension of the second dose trials came through for two of the main vaccinations as positive.

It was three weeks ago Hancock said the science showed it was safe and beneficial to extend the gap between vaccinations.

If the results came out this week what scientist knew three weeks ago to advise the government that it was safe and beneficial?

It was a lie and whilst the gamble has definitely paid off, it yet again shows this government lies constantly and is not fit to govern us.

This gamble paid off as I said but the PPE dash didn’t but both showed the true face of our government .

Those targets were for the general public testing that they missed

These were elderly inside NHS hospitals who could test at the time . Especially if the elderly had been held until they had been tested.

Our local hospital had capacity for ages after the first lockdown so the elderly were pushed through without any attempt to test.

Tested or not makes no difference they had to be moved out to make space for those with serious issues, those elderly were at more risk in general hospitals from catching it, still waiting to see where else they could have put them, the london nightingale didn't open till early April the others to much later, so what could they do with them of course with millions on furlough some could have gone to relatives, I'm sure a few did but much easier to dump them on the state.

"

The elderly were moved out to make space that wasn’t used at first so there was time and space and ability to test . The health department chose not to.

They were rushed out rather than tested first.

Where did all the testing kits come from when the cases started rising ?? They didn’t just arrive within two weeks . We had the ability and rather than think it through the governments health dept as usual knee jerked!

They could have consolidated the elderly in a hospital which doesn’t have the A & E arrivals for example.

There is no defence
