Throwing numbers into the air is pointless. They are meaningless without measuring them against something relevant.That’s true, would never have happened (@130k death tool and daily cases even now) …just saying

Check JVT’s comments last week.
Do you not feel that the UK has had a better vaccine roll-out then the EU or are you just anti?
Just saying.

Free Catalonia!Whilst it's true the UK got a jump on the rest of the world (not really due to the government/EU but mostly due to the fact all the best research in this area in the world is done in Cambridge), it's now not quite such a difference as many in UK believe. For example I'm 37 and get my second dose next week, and my region/city is slightly behind the national average for Spain. The main problems with vaccine rollout in countries like France is the distrust for them by the population and not a shortage of vaccines per se.
One thing I have realised is the wonders of having a non-populist government. First split the country into autonomous regions. Then 4x scientific indicators that are easy to understand and publicised weekly with targets and then every 2 weeks each region gradually increases or decreases restrictions according to whether the targets are numbers are suggesting the targets will be met or not. No meaningless promises for 3 months ahead, "target dates" that are not met, not cancellign christmas, cancelling it, massive u-turns. We've also had a consistent approach to border travel, the UK has changed it's over complicated and ridiculous "amber&green lists" and restrictions required 6 times since I've been looking at coming back (2 months) and it's still not clear.
As such, after the first harsh lockdown life has been relatively normal here (mask wearing aside) and limited to restrictions in hours in bars and inter-region travel rather than out and out and certainly not been under the restrictions the UK has. With slightly less deaths/capita than UK I'd say Spain and many countries have done a lot better than the UK in balancing deaths/economy/freedom. Not because of the EU of course, because actually national governments have really been running the show and even, after the initial EU disaster, their vaccine programs. It's almost like you can be in the EU and maintain national sovereignty
1) I was referring to the benefit of not being in the bureaucracy of the EU - I’m not getting involved in petty party politics. Tory haters will always find fault with the incumbent government no matter what they do.
The responses could be…
I've had 2, had them both removed...Speed limited aren't new, I've had one fitted to my car since 1981, it can be very annoying at times, a bit like being married
Or house...Blimey, if I removed mine I'd have no licence
Or money......no hang on.....Or house...
