I live in hope that one day you will eventually get something right, but with each passing day and with each post you make, that flicker of hope gets steadily dimmed. The U.K. left the EU at 23:00 hrs GMT on 31 January 2020, so the U.K. was a member of the EU when the Pfizer investment was...

Ah, that will have been when the U.K. were still members of the EU then and the second largest financial contributor.

Then why wasn’t it invented in France or Germany? I’ll answer that for you, because the U.K. is good at this sort of thing, has the facilities and they exist through investment.

He will never concede. He is infected with Corbynism and there is no vaccine for that. You are arguing with a man who will not shift from the following principles: 1) No matter how good it is, if it’s from the U.K., it’s bad. 2) No matter how bad it is, if it’s from the EU, it’s good. 3) I’m...

I have spent a great deal of time there, flying down the valleys and over the mountains, often landing in villages or remote farm land. I have a good working knowledge of their infrastructure, I needed that to both transport my balloon equipment to a launch site and to recover it after a flight...

The U.K. invested to a level sufficient for it to be invented here. We ordered and paid for it in April. By contrast, the EU still don’t know if they even want it. They are an administrative joke.

So, the EU have been fannying around and as a consequence, late.

The bigger towns and villages tend to have fire fighting equipment based at that location. The more remote hamlets tend to be further away from the rail track, too far for a fire train to be of any use. Regardless, by the time time a fire train could be deployed, the regular train schedule...

I’m not. You initially made it sound like they’d contributed hundreds of millions to the AZ’s development. They haven’t, they are now trying to buy it now they know it works, but are late comers to the party. Typically socialist. Had your vaccination now advocating giving everyone else’s away...

IS investigating NOT HAS INVESTED. That makes a huge difference. They are trying to put a bet on the winning horse after the race has been run. The U.K. took a gamble and put the money in before it was known if the AZ vaccine would work and it’s paid off big time. There is only a certain...

I can’t find anything to confirm your figures of £279 million directly into the AZ vaccine development. I suspect it’s incorrect. By size of nation, the U.K. is one of, if not the biggest investor in vaccine development. The AZ vaccine was invented here in the U.K. The U.K. was months ahead...

I used to fly my hot-air balloon In Switzerland and Austria every January for many years. As you probably realise, most habitation is in the valleys which are served by roads and in many cases, railways. However, many buildings are a long way from the rail track, too far to be of use. The...

Fire engines. They reach parts fire trains can’t.

m It will work spectacularly well. Keep off FaceTube

The U.K. took a big gamble by committing to the AZ vaccine very early. It’s paid off in a big way. Germany threatening “consequences “ unless we bump them up the queue isn’t help. What do they have in mind? Reactivating their gas chambers?

The evidence we can see is; 1) The EU still has not taken a decision as to whether they want to use the AZ vaccine. 2) The U.K. place an order and invested in the AZ vaccine during May 2020. The EU didn’t do anything until October 2020 and unlike the UK didn’t pay any money. 3) The U.K...

The EU is behaving in a despicable manner over the vaccine supply. They were late ordering they are late approving and now they want priority delivery on a vaccine, that technically, they still have not decided if they want to use. The U.K. pulled off a master stroke here. We bought the...

It is silly. In fact, it’s the most ridiculous thing ever invented.

I think we should stay locked down until at least mid April. If we can batter the cases down, get more people vaccinated, have the climate in our favour (more sunlight/ UV) and with people generally being outdoors more, we would be starting from a good position. I fear Johnson is going to ****...

That’s a good warning. The vaccine plant will be a terrorist target. Security should be beefed up now.
