Minerve on degrees on day release. Firstly you need to understand that most degrees these days have very little face to face teaching time. My daughter has just done a drongo law degree at Liverpool university (the proper one) over 3yrs and she never had more than about 12hrs lecturers a week. Secondly you have to realise that the people who do these intensive degrees get a full 7hour day with lecturers and they are taught in isolation ie in a peer group of other company employees they dont mix with conventional students. Thirdly to supplement their degrees they get the benefit of a hands on employment the other 4 days. Fourthly the screening process for my lads apprenticeship was extremely rigorous something 1 in 5000 are successful and they only take on 25 people/year. NB. they are required to do a foundation degree before the degree proper.

Minny, do you remember when someone on ADVFN described you as being ‘like a fart in a lift’ and about 35 people up-voted the post? Have you ever wondered why that post was so popular?

He said AstraZeneca and Oxford were leading the way in offering this vaccine more globally, and was on track to have provided almost 100 million doses under the COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access scheme, compared to 1.4 million doses of Pfizer."I don't think AstraZeneca has had the credit that they deserve, by agreeing at the beginning that this was a global problem, not just a problem for people who could pay a lot of money for vaccines."....Government maybe. But the private consideration really drove this. Made it happen.VACCINATION is GOOD.Lockdowns are bad. Medieval BAD

Hooky, saw you were asking after me.. what an embarrassing Cheltenham for the English, but since most horses are schooled in Ireland or France I suppose it comes as no suprise that they keep the best for themselves! But it illustrates just how 2nd division our racing is currently. I dumped a few quid on tectonic in singles and doubles with cloth cap for the national. But I had a few quid back yesterday on the Utt card & had 1st & 2nd in the Midlands. If box 6 comes in today in the Irish Lincolnshire I will be back above water! Trust your keeping well, hopefully TFE or Levi's will post this up on your board. You ought to check in here occasionally it's very entertaining!

Minnie Haw Haw, you seem to have a technical problem with your computer. It keeps sending the same message but not the whole message - the next sentence in each message would have read “and each dose sent and received has been paid for as part of a long term contract between a willing buyer and a willing seller”. Nothing there has changed except the EU has gone mad by saying what they are considering walking away from these contracts.

I am confident the U.K. and US would not retaliate by cancelling the contracts supplying the ingredients for these vaccines as that is only what an immature organisation would do, or would otherwise consider in the event that its counterparts were hostile actors, as in war time.

'Frosty-the-No-Man' or 'Theresa-the-Appeaser'? We know which one we'd chooseThe Europhiles' icepicks are already out for Lord Frost?© Brexit Facts4EU.Org 2021A Sunday editorial from Facts4EU.OrgIn the years since the EU Referendum vote to leave the European Union, large sections of the UK establishment maintained their pro-EU stance to such a degree that sometimes it seemed that anything the EU Commission said - no matter how outrageous – must be right. Anyone standing up for the United Kingdom's true interests as a soon-to-be independent country was almost certainly a far right, xenophobic, nationalist, Little Englander.To this day, the idea that the UK must kow-tow to the petty bureaucrats in Brussels holds credence in many quarters, as if only the EU mandarins have access to some greater truth. These highly-indulged and unelected ideologues are only being reasonable, we are told.The legacy of the defeatistsThis toxic and defeatist narrative is not only highly dangerous, it is precisely why we now have the unworkable Withdrawal Agreement, together with a UK-EU trade deal which not only excludes 80% of the UK economy (services), it is not even working for normal goods trade either.In essence, the Government's argument is that it never expected the EU to act in such a hostile manner in its interpretation of the agreements reached. Well, we did.The weak and ineffective Remainer government of Mrs May, with its Remainer civil servants bypassing every elected Brexit Secretary, defined the path that the UK took on its supposed path to independence. The legacy of that disastrous administration is being felt today, where one part of the country is still under EU law, and where we have an EU administration that still seems to think it can treat the UK as an enemy to be defeated.Step up Lord FrostInto this mess steps Lord Frost, the man who secured the best deal he could, in a last ditch attempt to "get Brexit done" as promised by Prime Minister Johnson. Would the Facts4EU.Org team have signed the 'Trade and Cooperation Agreement'? No. And we would most definitely never have signed the appalling 'Withdrawal Agreement'.Our position for the last five years has consistently been that the EU Commission would never agree a normal trade deal with the UK, for its own ideological and fanatical reasons. (Here is just one of many examples of our articles on this.) Neither would we ever have signed the abominable Withdrawal Agreement in January 2020. This is why Facts4EU.Org founded the 'Go WTO' campaign in 2018.Nevertheless we are where we are and the question now is how best to extricate ourselves from this mess.On 02 March Lord Frost took over the job of managing UK-EU relations from the Rt Hon Michael Gove MP. Within days he announced the unilateral postponement of elements of the agreements with the EU – something which has put Brussels into an uproar, with legal action against the United Kingdom now under way.The ice-picks are already being sharpened for 'Frosty-the-No-Man'In Brussels, word is being put about that Lord Frost's robust attitude is 'unhelpful'. In our view this is welcome. It means that he is representing British interests, not the European Union's.Who can forget Lady Thatcher standing up to the then EU Commission President Jacques Delors with her famous "No. No. No."??Even in the UK we are now beginning to see articles appearing in the British press from the usual suspects, questioning the wisdom of Lord Frost's appointment. Noises are being made already that he will be too confrontational, that he lacks the requisite diplomatic skills, and that he risks escalating the already-rising tensions in UK-EU relations into a full-blown diplomatic and trade stand-off.Since the Second World War the majority of the UK Establishment has seen the decline of the United Kingdom to be inevitable - and that this is something to be "managed". It is precisely this defeatist mentality which forms the back-drop to the attacks on Lord Frost. We consider this thinking to be lily-livered, supine, and spineless.As proud Britons, we have a lot to be proud about (in an understated, British way of course)According to the IMF the United Kingdom is still the world's fifth largest economy. We are the world's fifth largest military power. We are one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. We have seats at the top table of all of the world's major institutions, and were co-founders of most of them. Our language and legal system are in use worldwide, and we punch far above our weight when it comes to science and to modern culture – particularly music, theatre, and films.Furthermore, when it comes to the COVID pandemic our vaccine programme is the envy of the world. The UK has now vaccinated the largest percentage of its population than every other country bar Israel.We sense Lord Frost has backboneWe feel sure that the attacks on Lord Frost will continue – out of Brussels and also from major elements of the British media and commentariat.We very much doubt Lord Frost will buckle. And we urge the Prime Minister to continue to back him publicly at every opportunity. When the EU finally realise that a resurgent United Kingdom is on their doorstep, they will start to make pragmatic agreements. Until then the seas will be very choppy, but Her Majesty's ship is on course for rich waters.If fighting for sovereignty and freedom is important to you...We are most grateful to readers who have donated so far this year, but we badly need more readers to do the same if we are to continue in our sixth year - researching facts, scrutinising, publishing, and lobbying MPs.

John Redwood@johnredwood6hEU unjustified attacks on whether the Astra vaccine works have changed to threats of export bans and trade blockades as they cannot get enough of it. How does this square with their U.K. Free Trade Agreement and the WTO global trade rules which they are meant to obey?
