6:06pmYouTube claims creators contributed £1.4bn to GDP in 2019 In a new blogpost, YouTube has claimed its "creative ecosystem" contributed approximately £1.4bn to GDP in 2019, according to a study by Oxford Economics (and paid for by the video sharing site). That's the equivalent of 30,000 full time jobs, when taking into account the hours spent by vloggers creating videos and the marketing that encompasses content shared on the site. In the US, YouTube creators contributed approximately $16bn in the same year, supporting the equivalent of 345,000 full time jobs. In France, there was an estimated €515m contributed to the French GDP and the equivalent of 15,000 full time jobs.Oxford Economics used YouTube-supplied studies of creators and worked out the "supply chain" resulting from their channels (like the purchases made as a result of brand promotions). It did not take into account YouTube's own revenue in each country. ... Daily Telegraph

France’s famous Pasteur Institute has announced that it is discontinuing development of its Covid vaccine. The news came yesterday, around the same time as the EU began to threaten pharmaceutical companies that they would be subject to export controls. The Institute released a statement describing disappointing results from its Phase 1 clinical trials, which began in August:

“In these first human trials, the prospective vaccine was well tolerated but produced immune responses that were inferior to those observed in people who had recovered naturally and to those observed in the authorised vaccines”

The French haven’t been able to produce a vaccine, and the Germans couldn’t do it without American corporate help. No wonder voices in the EU were so keen to hit out, falsely, at the success of Brexit Britain’s Oxford vaccine. Poor Little EU.

"Vaccine nationalism is flaring up in the EU and the UK could be caught in the crossfireBrussels is at loggerheads with Pfizer and AstraZeneca, and is now threatening to block vaccine exports outside the EU.As the UK's Covid-19 vaccine roll-out proceeds at a promising pace, with almost 10 per cent of the population having received at least one jab, things are going less well in the EU. Not only did Europe begin vaccinating several weeks later than Britain, but its programme has been proceeding significantly slower.The European Commission has tried to enforce a common approach from the start, and has succeeded in driving down the price paid by the EU for vaccines from various manufacturers. There are already signs of dissent, however, with Germany buying extra doses outside the union-wide scheme and Hungary authorising jabs which have not been approved by the European regulator." - i

Where are the C19 deaths?



Deaths registered 2019 : 530k

Deaths registered 2020 : 529k (Nov)



Nearly the same. Where is the extra 100k?

All daily updates have been discontinued from 14 DecemberEU population 500 million, deaths from the virus... 623,024 UK, population 70 million, deaths from the virus....100,024As of January 10, 2021, there have been 623,024 deaths in Europe overall due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) since the first recorded European death in France on February 15."One for all, all for one"It's not point looking the statistics as individuals because of the Brussels action to distribute the vaccine through them.

Starting to wonder, having seen how quickly the UK has moved to get new COVID vaccines approved, there must be other areas where we can capitalise and steal a march while likes of the EU get bogged down with their own bureaucracy.
Boris will already have someone onto this I'm sure, as he's brilliant at delegating and picking right people for the job, look no further than vaccine minister RH Nadhim Zahawi who is doing an excellent job imo.
UK will come through this pandemic and out the other side full of confidence with a great post-Brexit future in front of us.

lefrene: "I'm now really going out of my way to check the origin of anything I buy."

Absolutely lefrene...am doing the same. Anything from China or EU then no thanks. Looking at packaging now to see where it is from, if over phone starting to ask where from.
Don't have to look far, lots of decent wine from our Commonwealth friends re-united Australia and New Zealand, South America too.

Biden Lying to America All AlongBiden made it one of his key campaign promises that his administration would "shut down the virus" more effectively than Trump had..Biden:"I'm not going to shut down the country. I'm not going to shut down the economy. I'm going to shut down the virus."Biden:" The deaths will reach up to 600 thousands next two months and there's nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months.".After taking up the presidential office, however, the career politician seems to have changed his tune. Now, it appears Biden is just as helpless at stopping the virus' spread as he suggested Donald Trump was.

Over 1,600 new deaths, resulting in just over 100,000 to date.

The buffoon is holding a news conference at 5.00pm and it is thought he will be trying to explain the dreadful position.

Germany desperately to save her auto industry encourages Greeks and Italians to sell their houses and "invest" in the latest Mercedes models.
