European countries traded with each other before the Eurozone came into existence... worked out fine back then didn't it.

If the UK hands over their vaccines cuz EU overlords demand them then you guys underestimate your position. Don't give in to demands ffs

You're so m4d that the Uk, a huge net contributor, left the EU, lol

Let it sink in that it's because of your own stupid "progressive" policies and the push for ever increasing EU budget that it happened, and certain Eastern EU countries could be next on the list.

But hey leave it to YOU to once again be blissfully unaware of that and keep marching towards the end of this dead end street.

Patients over the age of 65 were underrepresented in the AZ trials so there was a lack of evidence either way, which is different to a ‘drop off in efficacy’. Research done since points to immunity building up in older age groups to the same extent as younger ones

It doesn’t provide great immunity against SA and Brazil variants but scientists are extremely confident that it reduces the severity of symptoms to little more than a sniffle

You also have to take into account that everyone is probably going to have to vaccinate their populations a second time in the autumn/winter with modified vaccines to deal with those variants. The AZ vaccine allows for a speedy rollout due to the temperatures it can be stored in so works well if your strategy is to get hospitalisations and deaths down significantly as opposed to a ‘zero COVID’ strategy


The easier logistics of AZ make this vaccine suited for developing countries, but it's not really an argument in first world countries. With several months of preparation, and the logistics chains having already been established during the spring rollout, it shouldnt be too much of a hurdle.

Keep it up buddy, I'll remind you of this post when your time is up and your progressive fairytale falls apart, dead and buried under a mountain of insurmountable debt

It did, but the EU are very protectionist and ruthless. They see an opportunity to disrupt London's dominance in financial services for the benefit of Amsterdam/Paris/Frankfurt.

Since the referendum in 2016, 7500 jobs have moved from London to Europe according to EY. That's 5% of London's financial services workforce. Financial services job listings in London have tanked too

All this explains why the EU are in no rush to agree a deal on services with the UK. You can't blame them, after all it was the UK that voted to leave

The UK needs to either get equivalence on financial services or deregulate, become a tax haven and target growth markets like Asia. I would prefer the latter as there are strings attached to the EU's offer of equivalence - it's unpalatable to accept adherence to all future rules no matter what they may be and whether or not they are geared to benefit EU countries at our expense

the EU with their leftist agenda will drive out companies out with taxes and regulations, co2 prices and other bs

be prepared to absorb the mass exodus, this is a unique opportunity

This is an uncertain statement. Had Trump won 2020, it'd be a near certainty. With Joe Biden as POTUS, the UK is in a fragile position.

Overall, I agree with your take, but if Biden damages US trade with the UK in favor of the EU, and proceeds with sanctioning Russia as the EU has been demanding for years, the UK's only option outside of dealing with hyper-inflated EU pricing designed to punish them will be trade with China. The UK is small beans though, and it's well within the character of EU leadership to pay slightly higher prices for Chinese product with the condition that China not undercut EU prices to the UK.

A Biden win was possibly the worst outcome for the UK, given the nature of their exit.
