Yesterday I found myself agreeing with something Nigel Farage said.
Is it the apocalypse?
Alternatively they could have just opened a legitimate route to asylum in the UK negating the need for people smugglers.'World leading'
Fuck off Priti.
Everything is described as world-beating, world-leading by them, it's like they have a desperate inferiority complex.'World leading'
Fuck off Priti.
The budget for the Rwanda thing appears to be 1.5 billion which using the Australia costing is enough for around 100 people
But we're not allowed to call (the majority of) Tory Leavers racist pricks remember because we might hurt their feelings
I’ve read the article 3 times and at no point does it say any country wasn’t free to go it’s own route, which of course they always were. It does say they held an emergency video conference of the 27 nations in response to the USA’s aggression in trying to buy up the world’s supply of vaccines before development was complete. It says that they all AGREED to purchase as a block to bulk buy vaccines. The biggest criticism in the article of the EU seems to be it backed the wrong horse. It even says in the article that it didn’t back BioNTech but also explains that wasn’t without the benefit of hindsight all that bad of a decision given BioNTech was a cancer drug researcher prior to Covid 19 so didn’t have the experience other companies did in developing vaccines let alone vaccines for coronavirus’. Maybe you linked the wrong article.
So exactly like I said then. No one was forced so there’s no way we would have been forced. Wrong link again?This is too much like hard work, however, one final effort. I’ve added a brief timeline and then some quotes from the article as you must’ve missed them…
13 June 2020 - The Alliance (Germany, France, Italy and holland) agree own AZ deal
Other EU countries pissed off. ‘The then Belgian Health Minister Maggie De Block slammed the deal with Oxford/AstraZeneca as an “unreasonable” move that weakened everyone’ EU requests Alliance back off.
‘All that was left to do was convince the Inclusive Vaccine Alliance to give up its head start’ - This is the political pressure I was talking about.
‘After the 27 members of the EU signed on to the plan, the four-country Alliance closed shop, allowing the Commission to take over its talks with Johnson & Johnson, and — after some initial confusion — its deal with Oxford/AstraZeneca.’
14 August 2020 - EU finally signs AZ deal which was basically replacing the above Alliance agreement. Two months after Alliance had agreed original deal !!!
Third paragraph
‘Specifically, the bloc’s decisions to prioritize process over speed and to put solidarity between EU countries ahead of giving individual governments more room to maneuver have been criticized for holding back the coronavirus response.’
Final paragraph
‘But for the likes of France and Germany, giving up this option could prove to be a major sacrifice. The EU’s slower, more deliberative and cooperative effort may have cost precious time, and precious lives.’
As I’ve said previously, I understand why the EU felt they had to do it this way ie not competing against each other and looking after all members, however, I was just highlighting that we didn’t have these constraints so could move quicker.
How about putting it before Parliament before signing the "world-leading deal"??'World leading'
Fuck off Priti.
I suspect that might go back to Labour now!The pedo has resigned as an MP do they’ll now be a by-election in Wakefield.
I wouldn’t be so sure, apparently the Tories latest immigration policy is providing quite popular in the constituency.I suspect that might go back to Labour now!
This is in one week
It’s no accident that the country is spiralling down when it’s run by a government who’s decency, competence, honesty, ethics, honesty etc etc etc are spiralling down.That thread has to be read.
This government is beneath contempt. Corrupt, criminal, and staggeringly incompetent at all levels.

Yeah, but they ain't 'ere an' that's wot matters, innit.From the sounds of things sending people to Rwanda is going to cost many times the amount we'd spend keeping them here, what a genius plan.
He’s definitely got the look of that guy whose face melts off in the Indiana Jones film with the Nazis.
