THE SUN SAYS EU is attempting to undermine our Oxford vaccine with falsehoods about its safety.

Joy over jabs


TEN million jabs. A magnificent milestone. A triumph for Britain.

How is the EU responding? With further attempts to undermine our Oxford vaccine with falsehoods about its safety.


But its panicking leaders look more reckless and self-serving by the day.

Early evidence indicates the AstraZeneca jab slashes transmission of Covid as well as the numbers hospitalised or dying.

That is vital for a rapid end to our lockdown and the return of more normal life. It will mean the virus finding fewer and fewer people to infect.

If our rollout continues at its current stellar pace, the daily death toll is soon likely to begin falling. Cases and hospitalisations should drop like a stone once those below 70 start getting jabs.

The Oxford vaccine may prove the key to our economy reopening fully before many of those abroad. Behind its bluster and disinformation, Brussels is ashamed it has secured so few doses.

Rightly so. Because the consequences of its folly look increasingly dire.

Not sure how Brexit played out with a fundamentally left wing media. It was probably the last single issue proposal which resonated with a nation. Right of centre politics will be the provision of the intellectual,the dross & Jocks are the blue print for the future.

Science alone will destroy mankind.

WHO so far behind.

This was never the killer flu - just destroyed the world and u talk about the semantics of CFDs - were these not suicide mission for the grabbers?
U reckon u know it all.
Witless never did and never will get it
Life survives on a vibrant economy - not wilful destruction of it!

Why the scorn on Alp?

He is entitled to his position, even if it's wrong (ie, he doesent agree with me)

Opinions (even if perceived to be warped) matter!

Guess why?

Falling £ versus € on a brand which has its strongest/only worthwhile franchise in the UK (AFAIK).

"The owner of Cadbury is set to return the majority of its Dairy Milk production back to its historic Bournville factory.

Previously, Mondelez International - which owns the chocolate brand - has made most of its bars on the continent.

Announcing a £15m investment at the Birmingham site, the company said from 2022, 125 million more Dairy Milk bars would be manufactured there."

Valneva the froggie vaccine startup no doubt also funded by Boris (good lad) has put the UK right at the top of its sales ledger with smiley faces & 3 gold stars & a delivery date of June 2021. France & the EU have got into wait till 2022...something to do with Huawei??

JL, you are so miserable - I worry for you. If “Witless”; really is spinning a yarn, he’s fooling one heck of a lot of people. On balance, I would guess they are less easily fooled than yourself.

You keep on saying everything I have touched has been a "car wreck" yet you have absolutely no evidence to base that comment on.

Investors make errors. I've made some right howlers. The difference is whether you learn from them or not. I lost £400K once when I was operating more like a business angel. Boom! All gone. Never again. Certainly learned my lesson on that one. Another howler was to allow myself to be bought into the idea of efficient markets, tracker funds and figures like beta by the so-called professionals - another mistake.

Thankfully I am out on the other side of this mess and can confidently say I am one of the best investors on ADVFN, not measured by total return but on return on capital versus risk.

I know all the ways to measure and value business. I generally like to use the Buffett method of owner earnings and I pay more attention to qualitative characteristics rather than balance sheet tangibles. But hey ho, WTFDIK.
