Alistair “I’m just an impartial observer in the Leave/Remain debate, guv’nor (but here are some facts)” strikes again LOL.

Hiring Kate Bingham, Britain’s leading life science venture capitalist as vaccine tsar and putting Zahawi in place to manage the roll out turned out to be a very astute decision. Can you imagine Corbyn and McDonnell dealing with the big pharmas?
The problem with the EU is that it puts huge responsibility in the hands of second grade politicians like Von der Leyen (who rose to the great office of German defence minister).
A few quick points.
this deal was signed by the UK while still an EU member, so not a Brexit dividend
the EU are FEWMIN!
not a fan of Zahawi personally, amazed he hasn’t managed to completely fuck this up yet
The EU have fucked this up royally and are behaving like absolute cunts.
They bowed to French pressure to go for the Sanofi vaccine which tuned out to be a turkey. Only when it became apparent this was going pear they decide to place an order with AstraZeneca.
They gambled with people’s lives in support of EU pharma and are now picking a fight with AstraZeneca/ the UK to detract from their own incompetence. Everyone sees straight through it and they are digging themselves deeper into a hole the more they carry on. If they had a leg to stand on here legally the whole thing would being played out behind closed doors.
If they weren’t playing with peoples lives it would be funny….the absolute cretins.
Old-Dutch I am an expert in neither pharmaceuticals nor contract law, but it did strike me as a ‘brave’ strategy, to detract from incompetence.
A bit like when Dermo used to drop a bollock on old Jaded Clubbers (the Ian record search etc), then goes for everyone’s jugular and hope everyone doesn’t notice.
