Easy way out for Johnson and Frosts's "excellent deal". : align with EU food standards and the vast majority of the problems disappear. In fact, Frost is already suggesting some/partial alignment in his upcoming proposals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 GFA and Hard Brexit are mutually exclusive. You can't have both. Frost and Boris and all the rest of them can bleat and scream and moan and rip up as many treaties and agreements as they want, but that's the hard facts. You can't demand to be totally out of the EU and to "take back control" of the UK borders then moan about the EU's border controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you include Iceland as part of the EU/EEA vaccination procurement programme that's another small country with more than 80% fully vaccinated. But all the big countries are all on lower levels. Germany 51%, France 53%, Italy 52%, Spain 55%, and Poland 53%. The overall EU/EEA average is 51% fully vaccinated, and another 16% partly covered. The EU is ahead of the United States, but behind the UK (as far as I know). I know the Union is ahead in a number of other ways, and I'm aware that by the end of August we'll probably be at the same level as the UK in terms of raw percentages, but right now I think the UK is still entitled to wave its willy with pride about vaccination statistics.

Something seems to have went wrong though. I'm not doubting you, I'm doubting the radio station. The UK started ahead of the EU, and focused on getting a first dose into as many people as possible. The EU started later, but used vaccines with a shorter time delay between doses, which means that once we got past the first phase we were always going to catch up in terms of second doses and fully vaccinated people. And also, because the UK's numbers are higher, the numbers of adults still left who are eligible for and willing to take the vaccine has fallen, whereas in the EU everyone is at the peak of rolling out doses, so that goes most of the way to explaining why the UK seems to have fallen back in relative terms. When the dust settles, there won't be much to see by way of differences between countries in the developed world, except for countries where there is a higher rate of vaccine hesitancy (or whatever the politically correct term for that sort of thing is) on the part of the public. But right now the only countries who are matching or bettering the UK's pace of vaccinations are Iceland, Hungary and Ireland, with Belgium not too far off the pace. The five most populous have all still to catch up, though for the most part they should do that over the next 6-7 weeks. I don't know what happened to the UK after about 2012-13 to make it so insecure on the world stage. Up until then I'd find it hard to imagine the country coming out with the kind of childish guff to be seen nowadays. Between vaccine statistics willy-waving, lying about the Trade Agreement and the NI Protocol, pretending that re-heated trade deals are new, and simply not being willing to stand over Government policies the moment there's a bit of hassle, the UK really has become something of a circus. I sometimes wonder did the Scottish independence referendum spook the English, or what the heck else happened, to change the country from being the confident world leader second only to the USA into the diplomatic and geopolitical equivalent of the Keystone Cops. The fall in stature has been both rapid and graceless to an extent that is really baffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has massive implications for the future. We need young workers and we are not going to get that by plundering poorer EU nations, and destroying local economies in the process.

Is this the best you can come up with to justify the Irish taking the dry boaby from the EU over NI and beyond. Its absolute drivel. Not even consulted about attempts to block vaccine deliveries, not even considered over attempts to block food supplies to NI, didn't even comment when the French were going to cut electricity supplies to UK territories, and silent on the continuing unofficial blockade of UK goods into the whole of Ireland. This is the real "childish guff" mate. One chink of light of course, that the largest party in Ireland, the whole of Ireland, is Sinn Fein, and there is no way they'd have allowed the EU to shaft the Irish in this way, regardless of their pro EU stance. They'll fight for the rights of the Irish people when they govern Ireland and they won't be a mouth piece for the French and the Germans. At the moment Dublin is rolling over and getting its tummy tickled for an ever decreasing bag of Euros from an organisation that is no longer fit for purpose.

Don Dan Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 The rising cost of Brexit to Britain was laid bare on Thursday as a new analysis showed quitting the EU had delivered an £18 billion blow to the UK’s trade in goods. Official figures also showed the taxpayer has had to pick up a bill of more than £700 million spent by the Home Office on quitting the EU in just one year. The latest costings came as talks between the UK and Brussels remain deadlocked over the type of trade border between Northern Ireland and Britain agreed by the Government when it struck its Brexit deal. The Centre for European Reform estimates that leaving the single market and customs union at the end of December 2020 had reduced UK trade by £10 billion, or 13.5 per cent, in May. The think tank said this was on top of a £8 billion, or 10 per cent, hit to trade between the June 2016 referendum and splintering away from the single market. https://apple.news/AX3ttc7RnQNqG5Ro6Ug8LPw It’s all going so well🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the UK government announced it was in talks to rejoin the EU, surely the English electorate would lose it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
