    Who saw that coming

    We did have a benefit of negotiating our vaccines on our own, which is the first tangible benefit I think.

        Isn't everything constantly negotiated?

        Climate targets, corporation taxes.. Hence why European parliament gather every few weeks.

        Just were negotiating outside rather than inside, we've already seen some benefits (Vaccinations) and some drawbacks (Border trade) in the first few weeks of it

          Just out of interest, are you in an age group that is likely to be vaccinated soon ?

          If so, that's good news for you. But just take a moment to think of those poor people living under the jurisdiction of such an unwieldy organisation as the EU.

            My mother is , she's getting hers in hospital and I am likely to get one soon

            But if I have to wait then so be it

            Clearly you are of a right voting leaning and I think its fair to assume that you voted for Brexit , given your claim about its unwieldy nature

            Good luck both with getting a jab and being part of the brexit generation

                  Huge assumption being made is that the EU will still be around in 50 years

                  We have seen over the last few years different EU countries wanting more for themselves and less willing to help out the poorer countries

                  During the first few months of the pandemic Italy and Spain were given very little support when they needed it most

                  The richer EU countries are unwilling to commit to combined EU debt bonds to help “bail out” poorer EU nations

                  The problems the EU as a whole are having with vaccinations

                  Don’t forget that the EU has just lost one of its biggest net contributors meaning other countries are going to have to pay extra to plug this gap

                  Creaking at the seems at present and won’t survive if another one or two countries vote to leave

                    Brexit did not mean that vaccine approvals could be done any quicker.
                    The MHRA could have given the Pfizer vaccine the same emergency approval when the UK was in the EU.

                      If Greece is not out of the EU in the next 10 years I will be extremely surprised.

                      Then it'll be the case of how Germany and France clean up after it.

                        I doubt any other country will have watched the way we went about Brexit and thought "We'll have a bit of that."

                          Net favourability of the EU has increased significantly in all EU countries since Brexit.

                          I also don't think that Greece leaving would bring the whole thing crashing down somehow.

                            I didn't say it did but that is even more of an indictment of the EU seeing the mess they're currently in with the vaccine roll-out.

                            Even the German press are saying that the way Brussels are dealing with the roll-out is the best ever advert there could be for Brexit.

                            Germany, France, The Netherlands and Italy all had a preliminary supply agreement with Astrazeneca last June but the EU insisted on dealing with them on on behalf of the bloc.
