We've all done it, i.e. go and look in the cupboard and spot that you had left 29 million vaccines in there that you'd forgotten about

Italy have since admitted that non of it is bound for the UK, as the original report strongly suggested.

This is getting really silly now.

Breaking news: Italy raids an AZ factory and finds 29m vaccines initially anounced by the Italians as being for the UK - but it turns out they're for European countries (to add to the 5 day stockpiles they already have) and for Canada and Covax nations (Mexico etc).

Oh and the vaccines can't be used in the EU yet till the production facility is approved.

The EU and EU nations really have lost the plot and are floundering around like a Wilderbest caught crossing a river by a crocodile.

Old people succumbing to the only certainty in life isn't the tragedy that you make it out to be and I appreciate that it may sound shocking to simpletons but people died alone before this disease and people will continue to die alone.

What is a tragedy however is the fact that our nation's children have pretty much missed out on a year of school, that our nation's young adults are not able to attend lectures and seminars or have a solid foundation on which to start their careers.

Unless you can talk someone into a suicide pact,you'll die alone too. Odd post to make,we all die alone.

Yeah I know the rule is crap and elitist.

Was more the general point that you don't have to be middle class or upper class or a Tory doner to have a holiday home or multiple homes.

You want to be careful putting info like that on here, someone had a go at me for being able to afford to play golf occasionally and be a gym member lol

I’m assuming this is just trolling. If not, wow.

It's not even just trolling but pure unadulterated, bigoted filth. It's just like being provocatively blasé about people's parents and grandparents dying.

A prime example of the nasty, evil, bigoted hatred that's becoming all too common on social media nowadays and usually exhibited by racist morons. There needs to be action taken to not only make Facebook and Twitter clean up their acts but all social media sites too..

I only wish to become that cool and edgy one day

That plant in Italy hasn't been passed by the EU as safe site to produce the vaccine at the time being.
They only certified a certain number of sites to make the vaccine when passing it for use, for instance the Belgian one.
(The UK has said all the AZ sites can be used,) meaning that the so-called hidden ones are not by their own present laws for use within the EU no matter where its end destination is, if its getting stockpiled it may suggest that it for their use as well when the plant gets certified

Should threaten them - no vaccine no British tourists flocking to likes of Greece, Portugal and Spain etc which massively helps props up their economies.

It's the height of arrogance to think that we can cheat Mother Nature. Ultimately, most old people are Tory voting scumbags and their death isn't a great loss to society.

Sorry @peteblue no offence x

None taken....you are incorrect, but none taken....

The EU have gone mad, quite mad. But what is worse as far as I am concerned is the support and excuses given by U.K. folk to the EU......

Does this fit into greed and capitalism is good, or is that purely domestic issue? because what the EU is instructing is just another face capitalism.

turns out that they were EU supplies that AZ didn’t tell the EU about?

Is this penny drop moment where we (UK) should have disclosed our contracts in full when asked to do so! Rather than procrastinating.
