"The argument is that the rich countries should all be allocating a percentage of their in hand at the moment doses to the poorer nations. Very good that we are making generous offers, but the poorer nations need jabs now. " They do thats why the uk has already given £548 million to covax they are getting vaccines out to the poorer countries. | |||

"It's good to see UK following Europe's lead on this. Definitely a positive move." Actually I think you are wrong there Lionel. I believe it was Macron telling Europe (not EU) and US to donate 4% of their vaccine supply. The EU I believe has not said it is donating any vaccine. | |||

"this is clearly great news. WHO put pressure on the UK last month (30th jan) about this. margaret harris WHO spokesperson said she wanted to appeal to people in the UK, telling them: “You can wait” because ensuring equitable global distribution is “clearly morally the right thing to do”. “We’re asking countries, once you’ve got those [high-risk and healthcare worker] groups, please ensure that the supply you’ve got access to is provided for others. “While that is morally clearly the right thing to do, it’s also economically the right thing to do. “There have been a number of very interesting analyses showing that just vaccinating your own country and then sitting there and saying ‘we’re fine’ will not work economically.” it appears that the data showing that vaccine nationalism could cost high-income countries $4.5tn (£3.3tn), while a report commissioned by the International Chamber of Commerce Research Foundation found that the world economy could lose $9.2tn if developing countries did not get access to vaccines, has forced the UK Government to aquiesse to WHO's robust insistance on the issue rather than take the initiative out of their own volition " But also remember that both the UN and WHO were putting pressure on ALL of the Richer Western Democracies to give donations to the programme. The UK has also given £548m to Covax - the UN-led attempt to get vaccines out to poorer countries. | |||

"The lengths people will go to deny that their own country is doing anything at all is shocking. When someone highlights what we are doing well as a Nation it should be lauded and celebrated instead of being reluctantly and snipe'ingly whinged at. The one thing I have noticed about the English since coming here is that according to some you must not be proud of yourselves. Instead you must wrong your hands and beat yourselves up all the time in shame. I’m proud of my country and I’m proud to also live in the UK.
Can I ask you a question?
Why do you think it was necessary to compare out contribution to other European countries?
What purpose does that serve?
Lionel YOU are the one who started comparing in your first post.!
By posting a link to what someone else is doing is comparing the UK to someone else.
You're the one who started all this comparing BS.!"Sigh I posted a link to say we see not the only country involved in the scheme. Which is troe I dudnt start to compare our contributions with other countries See the difference? | |||

"Something positive about the U.K. but someone will find a negative lol https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/world-europe-561210 The eu are also doing it and have called on the us to do the same. But im sure pointing that out will be seen as some sort of negative."
That's because the EU are finding it difficult to let go control | |||

"The uk in general is a tolerant country where fair play still seems to exist to the main.You do not have to carry any identity to go out, it has a great education system and health system and a safety net for those who fall on hard times.The justice system is fair and just and if you have the will to get on in life you are not held back.It also does a lot for foreign aid and in general the British are a charitable lot with a caring society, whats not to like ?" Religious tolerance in the main is good too. | |||

I’m not proud of our shocking bigoted racist traits in some of society.. I’m not proud our elite robbing more than their fare share of our wealth leaving other to unfairly struggle. I’m not proud of those with the most disadvantaged starts in life being blamed for their lack of expectation or achievement by a grossly bias media.

My feelings, I am 80% proud of my country and 90% of that is proud of the amazing people who live here. I’m proud of our armed forces personnel and our caring people in all those charities. I’m not proud of our shocking bigoted racist traits in some of society.. I’m not proud our elite robbing more than their fare share of our wealth leaving other to unfairly struggle. I’m not proud of those with the most disadvantaged starts in life being blamed for their lack of expectation or achievement by a grossly bias media. I’m definitely not proud of the way we run our governments and that includes both Tory and labour. With a nation so full of potential we are held back by letting such low skilled people run this great country of ours. Is that a yes or no you can decide. There are loads of great things here There are loads of shitty things here. It's that simple. dont eorry mate I won’t ask you are you proud of your kids I wouldn’t have time to read your lists " Do I need to point you to the difference between your children and the piece of rock where you live? | |||

"All rich western countries have led the way and are making a positive contribution. That really should be the end of the debate. However the lengths people will go to ,to limit the influence of eu countries and paint ourselves,once again as the best is truly cringeworthy. weren’t you doing that in yr first post tho Lionel limiting the influence of the U.K. by mentioning the eu ? No I simply pointed out that other counties are doing the same thing You don't have chat shit at times. Here are your exact words: 'It's good to see UK following Europe's lead on this.' For the 2nd time now. I saw the headline about macron 1st. I then saw the article about boris's speech today. So twice now I've said it's a collective effort. Funny you seem to be quite selective about what you pull up people on though. In which case you made a statement without actually making sure in was factually correct. Isn't that the exact thing you pull up 'daily mail' readers for? I stand by my comment.don’t waste your time mate iv found it’s totally pointless lol What because you cant understand a simple answer?costa gave a simple answer you basically said sometimes I do sometimes I don’t and you say it’s a simple answer pmsl Foxy are you proud of the way we invaded Iraq setting off mass destabilisation and creating ISIS in the Middle East? This leasing to untold murder and devastation. Simple yes or no will do please. yes I’m proud of the U.K. arnt you Jackal a simple yes or no will do mate or are you going to lost all the good and bad we’ve done if so how far back you going to go ? Answer my question and I’ll reply yes your turn
Your proud of that invasion really or are you just testing me?
I’m not saying proud of the guys on the ground I’m talking of Blair and co.
"you don’t ask about Blair and co you asked me about the invasion of Iraq I said yes I was behind it at the time I could ask you are you proud of Britain’s invasion of France on dday amd list civilians who died and we can go on and on mate the question what was asked was are you proud of the U.K. not can you do a list of all the good things and then all the bad things but crack on if you have the time | |||

"The uk in general is a tolerant country where fair play still seems to exist to the main.You do not have to carry any identity to go out, it has a great education system and health system and a safety net for those who fall on hard times.The justice system is fair and just and if you have the will to get on in life you are not held back.It also does a lot for foreign aid and in general the British are a charitable lot with a caring society, whats not to like ?

"I think after the age of 15 we’re doing better so yes true. But seeing as we are so wealthy we should be doing so much better. If you look at Nobel prizes we’re number two. But that’s not helping the low paid and poorer in our society. The latest league tables put us at 30 in secondary education. We fair better at uni and I think that is 10-15th I can’t find the link but read this a week ago. | |||

"uk has a far lower amount of people who actually make it as far as tertiary education. when this is taken into consideration the country free-falls down the global rankings and that is a problem that needs to be redressed."
