The Third Man

There are no problems now we have left Lunch off the menu Truckers travelling from the UK were going hungry in Holland after the Dutch authorities confiscated ham sandwiches from drivers arriving by ferry from the UK under post-Brexit rules banning people from bringing meat and dairy products into the EU. Companies abandoning entire markets One of the UK’s biggest delivery firms DPD last week temporarily suspended deliveries to the EU because of the need to provide extra customs information, warning a fifth of parcels had incomplete or incorrect data attached and had to be returned to sender. John Lewis has scrapped international deliveries, while Fortnum and Mason temporarily suspended sales to Northern Ireland and the EU. Debenhams closed its online business in Ireland “due to uncertainty around post-Brexit trade rules”. On the other side of the border, the UK is being isolated. One company, Dutch Bike Bits, said it would ship to every country in the world apart from the UK partly because of “uncertainty due to Brexit”, but also because the government had decided to “impose a unique taxation regime will require every company in the world in every country in the world outside the UK which exports Fish fiasco Leavers repeatedly promised British fisherman that Brexit would allow them to “take back control” of UK waters. But instead seafood exports have been snarled up with lengthy delays including mountains of paperwork and lengthy vet health checks that can take up to five hours. Donna Fordyce, chief executive at Seafood Scotland, has said exporters faced “new bureaucratic non-tariff barriers” with no one body able to fix the situation. But the fish are happier because they are British Michael Gove has warned there could be “significant disruption” at ports like Dover in the coming weeks as cross-Channel trade returns to normal levels. But even with reduced traffic at the ports, the Road Haulage Association last week said around one in five trucks were being turned away from Channel ports, while ferry company DFDS said there was a “high volume of vehicles being refused and delayed”.

The body that authorised the vaccine said that it made no difference at all, even if we had been in the EU we would have done the same, so yes they have

This lie keeps on being repeated, but everyone has admitted than being in or out would not have made a difference to how we acted with the vaccine But i suppose if you repeat the lie over and over it slowly becomes the truth

I agree with that, that was what Tony Blair was saying, but that was not what Julia Hartley Brewer was saying

So because the Conservatives won the last election have we all got to become Conservatives? If you didn't agree with leaving why should you change your mind just because you weren't on the winning side, sorry i don't understand that point of view

It doesn't make sense to attribute a death to one cause and then alter it later, much easier to put the cause of death down to the real cause first

i have never understood why the Government has inflated the number of deaths from Covid, why would anyone inflate the number of deaths? or why all the media outlets quote the figures without comment Some times they will say that the "deaths are for any reason within 28 days of a positive Covid test" sometimes not That being the case why aren't they saying that because of the way the numbers are counted we don't actually know how many people have died from Covid

Thought that was a major possibility from the beginning, which is why the need to get organised giving the vaccine is imperative, or the second lot of vaccination to protect us next winter will be needed before everyone has the initial two jabs We have known for nearly a year that we would have to vaccinate everyone, but we only getting organised now to do it Did we have to wait until we had the vaccine to organise where it would be given and by who? Or could that have been organised months ago, so that we could get off to a flying start? i am also fed up with hearing how far in front of the rest of Europe we are, why is that important to us, and we certainly are far behind what Israel is doing

My partner who is a nurse, and me for two, not the exact numbers but it would have been easy to workout a percentage Why spend all that money on the hospitals without doing a feasibility study on the numbers of staff available to staff them

And that is what the mythical Nightingale Hospitals were supposed to be for If its not about saving lives, why have we just about shut the country down for a year, if its just about stopping people going into hospital it would have been cheaper to somehow expand the number of beds available, again that's back to the mythical Nightingale hospitals Before you ask, mythical because people have seen them, but never seen any patients going into them

The building of them was brilliant, but the government knew they wouldn't have the personnel to staff them that being the case, what other reason to build them, but for propaganda purposes, especially as some of them have been stripped of their equipment

He really is, i have never heard him answer a question in all his interviews he has a statement he has rehearsed, and just repeats it to every question, how he can be in charge of anything, let alone the vaccination programme, is frightening

That cant be true, i have heard our honest government ministers saying we have vaccinated more than the rest all Europe all week

Slight difference, you are talking about Health Care Assistants, and i agree they can be trained a lot quicker than Nurses and could be used to support nurses, as they have always been There obviously was no plan as to what would happen this winter, when the NHS always struggles, that being at least part of the reason why are locking down again

The first point is true, you cant just recruit in June for this winter, however if we had been recruiting for the last ten years we might have stood a chance The nightingale hospitals were always a propaganda thing, there would never be enough staff to open them
