Have you been on the lash?

No, do you think it may help see Boris and chums in a different light if i were lashed?

So now we have MHRA & EMA saying all age groups

Germany and Macron saying only up to 65 (Germany wants to flog Pfizer and France really upset that Sanofi screwed up)

Belgium, home of the EU and it’s institutions, has come up with .....drum roll....AZ up to 55

Do we have any reductions on 55, roll up, roll up, pick a number in the EU Covid golden ballsup competition.

It’s bad enough them making an arse of their own roll out, but to try and hide it by discrediting the AZ vaccine is unforgivable really...

Reversing climate change might be a step too far

Even if we could, Macron would say it’s only for the under 65’s......

Nice of him to link us to a story in the paper he works for which is firewalled.

Journalist does job shocker. Jesus Christ.

Thoroughly useless person. As is Jenny Harries.

"We didn't know variants are a thing!" "A horse racing festival during a pandemic is fiiiiiiine."

Both should have been sacked no later than July. Clearly out of their depth and lying repeatedly.

No mate its all even mate, to be fair mate, I see your point mate, lets hope so mate, mate yeah the government could have done better mate.... but, mate mate mate

is this meant to be some dig at me?

... mate

Also, as a note, the Daily Express is definitely one of the more right-leaning papers. The Guardian, for example, is more left-leaning.

What's everyone's thoughts on the Sputnik V vaccine? The Lancet seems happy with it although from what I can tell are using data supplied to them by the Russians. It looks like the media is slowly getting us ready for it's use in the West.

I would think Sputnik V will not be used in the U.K. , nor will Sinopharm from China. The EU can use whatever they want. Germany will be quietly buying up its own supplies of whatever it wants, having driven the 27 to let the EU sort them out previously. Hungary is buying the Russian and Chinese vaccines, and you can see why they are, and why Macron is in the crap.....

Again, a reminder that (at least as of Feb 1st) Germany have actually vaccinated (ie: given the required two doses) more people than we have.

Dangerous term. Vast majority of vaccination effectiveness from first dose, it's hard to argue the UK have probably got the right idea by spacing them out, especially after the latest AZ research. Educated risk is a thing; the UK method from the AZ vaccine alone will probably save thousands of lives compared to if we hadn't done it.

There's no point in trying to spin the vaccine story - the UK has nailed it, the EU didn't.

He'd be a journalist and doing his job if he didn't work for the Times.

I‘m sure that will be a great comfort to the 98% of the German public who have received no protection at all.....

The EU cult in here are spinning like tops at the moment.....
