Our resident leprechaun reckons they are used to put out burning villages in Switzerland. I know, I know, I should have twigged, he’s wrong as usual.
But you'll know from your time there how highly organised the Swiss are with everything, particularly with their trains being on time.
It is indeed a monumental cock up. Which would not have happened had we remained in the EU. Which is worse? their cock up or ours? have we given a vaccine to the over 65's that isn't good enough? the Germans still think so.
Large-scale coronavirus vaccine manufacturing begins in Scotland
Speciality vaccine company Valneva has started commercial manufacturing of its promising COVID-19 vaccine candidate in Livingston, West Lothian, Scotland.www.gov.uk
Not little Englander... The Union...
This EU vaccine shambles is a perfect example of their intrinsic problems.
UK would go along and say we want 60 million ASAP... EU would rock up and want 3 billion when all 27 countries have chatted about it for a little while, oh and can Germany have 30 million on side because as we all know they are the best Europeans..
Oh and EU haven't actually passed the vaccine yet!!!???
Come on OG it's a monumental cock up. Imagine what you, d be saying about Boris if this was other way around and we were 3 months behind EU in vaccine programme. You, d be wanting him Lynched... And probably for a change rightly so...
What paperwork?
The Metro's account is a touch more explicit, then goes on to report:
IN the least popular trip north since Edward II’s in 1314, Boris Johnson has decided to visit Scotland.So Boris is visiting Scotland, I wonder if he will recite this poem he penned in his Spectator days
It will go down "Bigly"
Sometimes I do dispair. Please do try and get your facts straight. The UK was in the departure lounge from about February 2019 , .They had used up the last of their credit. What was being discussed was whether they would get a seat on the second class carriage or stand in steerage. They were not on any committees ,They were utterly sidelined . They might have had the option of seeking yet another extension, but opted not to. They had zero influence. The Americans call this lame duck period, but as far as the UK was concerned it was Zombie time . Whether Big Ben chimed 10 months later is really irrelevant. Remember , they didn't even want to hold Euro Elections, but had to and did so with bad grace. If you want to think the flag waving in January 2020 was the end, .. well enjoy it that was the wake or "months mind. "
I just got news that multiple complaints have been filed to financial regulators after apparently "milions" of people that use Robin Hood, the app that they've been using to do the transactions, have been blocked from using it without explanation.
In your original post, you said, “No. You have your dates wrong. The U.K. had left in 2019”
It's been a disgruntled area since 1984 and a Thatcher shutdown..
The German distributor of widgets has a market of 500 million customers in 27 countries where he just puts the thing in a jiffy bag, charges VAT, pays postage and Bobs your uncle. Then he has this oddball country, where he has to fill up some customs forms, and then subtract the VAT , which he then must manually report to the Federal government as an export. Now if he sends the item and charges VAT, he has no problem, except an an irate English jobsworth pestering him for a refund of VAT. And then of course he has currency exchange bother. This is a bother with say Poland with currency , .. but it is much closer linked
You appear to have missed that they are perfectly happy to sell items over £135 - which seem to require much the same overhead.
My understanding/opinion of the purpose of the stock market is (1) to allow companies that need capital to borrow it, and (2) to allow investors to invest in companies they think (financially) worthwhile. The company needs to put forward a good case as to why it needs and how it will use the capital, otherwise the investor will not wish to invest. That seems a very sensible arrangement.
Zombies can be considered as being around, even where they serve no value. The point was that the UK had no executive function in the EU basically ever since the dissolution of the previous European Parliament, and probably before. The UK Commission members were sidelined ever since the Article 50 was received in Brussels. The UK might legally have recalled their Article 50 anytime before December 2018, as I recall. After that date they were firmly in the departure lounge. The UK was not a member from 2019 to Jan 2020 it was a monthly paying guest. Then from February 2020 until December 2020 it was standing in the vehicle pick-up area with their suitcases
31/01/2020. Look it up. You are wrong but as usual you are lacking the character and good grace to acknowledge it.
