Warming up nicely Sorry Brussels you want to stop exporting to protect your citizens? Just a reminder Ms Kyriakides, the UK can say the same. Also Ms Kyriakides, we have left your "little" club. |

NI First Minister Arlene Foster described the move as "an incredible act of hostility" by the EU.Well, my dear Arlene, you wanted to stay with the EU. The EU invoked Article 16 of the Northern Ireland Protocol which allows parts of the deal to be unilaterally overridden.Well my dear Ms Von der Leyen, didn't you kick up a stink when Boris wanted to do that. EU invokes Article of the Northern Ireland Protocol BTW Von der Leyen, what is a third country? |

Also EU, I would be very careful in threatening 2 of the nations that did this to set Europe free. Normandy Madingley |

Yep, especially as this was said by a German MEP. So the company and the UK better think twice. When we see Europe is not treated well, not by the United States and not by the UK, then we have to show our weapons.(Sarcasm on) Would one of those weapons be a V3 packed with the German Flu virus? (Sarcasm off ) |

In the months preceding the vote to leave the EU I was in a number of meetings with very senior Eurocrats and their general attitude was along the lines "We are the greatest club the world has ever seen, and if GB has the timerity our club we will punish them". In meetings after the vote the attitude was "Now you are leaving we will make sure life is very difficult for you"....... (And this was non-elected Eurocrats, never mind the members of the EU parliament & commission who were even nastier.)

Well Rob, that sentiment from those "Eurocrats", is totally in line with, (only with other words) what was heard on the European continent during the rule of v1.0:Not forgetting their more famous quote. |

I wonder what those graphs would be like had we remained? EU in trouble One comment surprised me even though I couldn't stop laughing. Can't mention it (against forums rules - so read the article), gotta love the German Finance minister. :-) Don't think Mis Merkel gives a monkey as she in gone in 6 months. |

Now that the UK is no longer in the EU, US suspends tariffs on single malt Scotch whisky. |

It's a start & this will be another nail in the coffin for the EU. |

It's a start & this will be another nail in the coffin for the EU.That would be a breach of contact so I guess that we'll just manufacture more than the contracted 50 million doses here. ;-) |

Both sides are at it. Companies are selling more than they can produce, and countries (notably ours) are buying more than they need. Lots of so called "contracts" are going to be argued over by lawyers for decades to come. |

Lots of so called "contracts" are going to be argued over by lawyers for decades to come. The UK has ordered more than it needs, but that assumes, to a certain extent, that they all work. Most of the orders were made before the trials started, probably as a measure to prevent the companies running out of funds, think Valneva. Lots of support from Macron there, for a French company I see, not. Where would the UK vaccination program be now if the Oxford/Astrazeneca had proved to be a dud. |

Done deal Lord Frost's opposite number in the Brexit talks, Michel Barnier, was also less than flattering. "This is a divorce. It is a warning, Brexit. It's a failure of the European Union and we have to learn lessons from it," he told MEPs.Well my dear Michel, you can always marry (a) Turkey. |

An Italian MEP has apologised to Britain for the treatment it received over Brexit, praising the UK's vaccine roll-out and future prosperity in a withering attack on the EU.Are the walls crumbling? |

As an outsider my impressiion of the EU on Brexit is that the EU intends to punish GB as much as possible. I always thought the common market was a good idea the EU not so much. It has some good features and others which many find intolerable. |
