EU Commission
The E U Commission has been running around like headless chickens the past few months, you wouldn't think it could get any worse, or could it?
The EU Commission were discussing with Pfizer that they were considering banning the sale or movement of the Pfizer Covid vaccine from the EU to the UK.
The boss of Phizer warned that it was not a good idea, asked why? He replied some of the ingredients come from the UK and are manufactured in Yorkshire. OOOps
Lack of joined up thinking.

Re: EU Commission
They don't have any more feet to shoot themselves with, suggest they put the barrel in their ear. They are now threatening to not ratify the trade deal at the end of April, if so , where will all their fish come from ??, kt

Re: EU Commission
An article in todays Mail online says that Macron and Merkel are ready to join Von Der Leyen in the illegal blocking of Astrazeneca vaccines
being exported to the UK, it's always the same names that are at the front whenever it comes to bashing the UK, looking at VDL I think she
would have been at home wearing a SS uniform, cold dead eyes and expressionless face, just my impression of her, cheers

Re: EU Commission
Oh dear not the Red under the bed theory again, would you ever just think that maybe just maybe they could not organise a piss up in a brewery.
Yes the UK is thankfully is doing amazingly well in the vaccine roll out. Better than any other country in Europe
But like it or not The UK has still got the highest number of deaths than any country in Europe we have 22,000 more deaths than our European neighbours.
UK 126,000 Italy is the next highest at 103,000
So when the dust settles questions need to be answered.
Anyone booked their summer holidays abroad yet? If so I would be looking at the small print on how to get a refund.

Re: EU Commission
When you talk of us having the highest death toll in Europe Lewis, my reply to that is, at the moment, the way they are carrying on, and talking their public out of using the vaccine, there are many deaths to come i fear. As to travel, i don't think we will be travelling to the EU countries for a very long time, kt

Yes , in the recent Dutch elections , the prime minister was returned to power. This is the same man whose government fell at the beginning of the year over the
benefits scandal and also the same guy that sanctioned a " gift " of 750 million euro of tax payers money to Southern european contries. You couldn't make it up.
A perfect example who sees a nice little position for himself in Brussels at the expense of his own people.

Re: EU Commission
Van Der lie in was born in Sproutland, not Germany. She discovered later in life her family came from Germany and then she adopted Germany.
As for the high death toll, if you had covid or tested for covid and die within 28 days your are classed as a covid statistic.
A friend of mine who died from a heart problem but had recovered from covid died, his wife asked what would his death certificate state-Covid.
She fought tooth and nail not to have covid on his death certificate-she won.
So how many deaths are wrongly recorded?
