It was tongue cheek doc. Nice to see Ginge has got himself a job in charge of onesies and sorting out the mental health problems of silicon valley (job on there). Amazing how someone in such a skilled high powered 7 figure salaried job took his missus out to the theatre in front of the papz after she complained of her own mental health issues. Mind you have you seen his new boss. He looks all of 20 yrs old

I had a water canon when I was about five years old. Napoleon had a more grown up one in Toulon and knew how to use it (it seems its part of the French DNA killing off your own citizens and then taking it out on the English - Macrons read all his books).

Scruff quite the contrary I'd like to see police brutality deployed when appropriate, and the term accepted as sort of an extreme police response as in.....youd better pick up crisp packet unless you want a bit of police brutality.

Brussels is throwing away our friendship with their vaccine threats

The EU's increasingly desperate behaviour will test the Prime Minister's good intentions to the limit

Boris Johnson often refers to “our friends in Europe”, a post-Brexit pleasantry intended to show that leaving the bloc need not sour relations with the UK’s continental neighbours. However, his good intentions are being tested to the limit by the EU’s bizarre behaviour.

Its leaders are under pressure as Germany and France re-impose lockdown measures. Both countries have been more open than Britain since the start of the year and are now experiencing the surge in cases seen here in January. Their difficulties are compounded by the slowness of the vaccine programme which has so far covered just one in 10 of the adult population. In the UK almost half have now been given at least one jab.

The EU blames the UK’s apparent refusal to export the AstraZeneca vaccine despite millions of doses lying unused in European clinics because of the scare stories put around by its own leaders. Now they are threatening to ban the export to the UK of vaccines manufactured on the continent, which include the Pfizer and Moderna jabs.

Since they are not using the vaccines they already have, what is their purpose? Is it to slow down the UK’s roll-out because we have stolen a march? Surely such pettiness is beyond the leaders of great countries. Moreover, a ban would give the EU, with a population of 600 million, only an extra week’s supply but would put the UK’s programme back by about two months.

It is being suggested that a Dutch plant making the AstraZeneca vaccine, developed and paid for by the UK, will only hand over an amount proportionate to the UK’s population. Britain is also expecting 60 million Pfizer and Moderna vaccines from plants in Belgium and Spain which could be subject to an export ban. These are not the EU’s vaccines. They may be manufactured in an EU country but are destined for those who have bought them under contract. To ban or even limit their export is an unlawful seizure of property.

Plants in England manufacture lipid nanoparticles that are an essential component for the production of the Pfizer vaccines on the continent. Should we retaliate by banning their export? As the Prime Minister said at Downing Street, no one sensible wants a trade war. It is in everyone’s interests that the EU should operate a successful vaccine programme so we should do what we can to help. But the notion that we are all still friends is beginning to wear thin.
