So true especially as it's been such a settled period throughout the world ..

How anyone can really evaluate the effects of Brexit is beyond me , at least we got the vaccine onto arms way before many other countries whilst Europe pondered..

That was nothing to do with Brexit. It was Johnson’s last gamble as he’d cocked up track and trace and testing. Luckily the public service got him out of a hole. As for Brexit, it’s the great unspeakable. Everyone with a brain knows it’s costing the country badly - on top of the rest of the issues.

Yes, we know.

[superfeathers]

Yes, we know.

Given how bad an effect Brexit is being seen to have had, imagine how bad it would’ve been without the pandemic to excuse some of
It.

Ironic that over 60s brexit voters are thankful for covid

Yes, a really well thought out comment. No doubt hours of painstaking analysis and research..

Look, I agree with the sentiment but you can't say that track and trace was the fault of Boris but then claim the vaccine roll out was down to the civil service.

Both were government policies enacted by the civil service.

Some folk just live a moan and sit in the woe is me blame game .

During this cost living crisis folk have packed into pubs and eateriesand spent and not just rich Tories ??

This cost of living crisis ( around the world im my view is now levelling up the world after the effects of the recession , banks kept interests too low forbtoo long ,quantative easing was excessive ,Covid , Russia .engery squeeze , bkah ,blah ,blah , if someone can clearly set out the effects of Brexit in real terms and in isolation of all other factors I will glady listen .

With regards to the vaccine roll out because we left it did allow us to think and act independently not follow a slow moving group of European countries to reach a collective decesion.. France and the Germans reaction to the Zenca vaccine was appalling and untrue .

Same with Ukraine, other than brave Poland they had to be dragged to the table of support. But the UK pushed hard .. again fully justified..

Some folk just don't want to be proud of achievements or seek aspiration..

He's right that the vaccine rollout was nothing do with Brexit though. The UK could have acted exactly as it did from within the EU. Attempts to claim otherwise are just disingenuous Brexiter attempts to rewrite history. (Although, must admit, I'd want to rewrite history if I were them too).

Sorry but I don’t have the hours of spare time that certain other demographics do

I said public service. They are certainly different groups.

You're right, Track and Trace wasn't the bloviating bullshîtters fault. It was that incompetent melt Dildo Harding. There is a very strong link between the Jockey Club and many of these chumocracy contracts

Good to see that the years tarmacking the drives of the great and good of Hertfordshire haven't numbed your political antennae,
