    Happy Anniversary everyone!

    A year ago today we went into the first lockdown, a '3 week lockdown to flatten the curve'...

    Wife had hers last night at Swadlincote, very impressed with the organisation - military efficiency with a friendly smile! 
    Almost unbelievable the numbers we're posting, my wife's appointment was 7:13pm and despite it being late in the day there was no delay and it was bang on time. Remarkable.

    Whilst there maybe an element of jingoism from some people, the pro-EU/anti-Brexit agenda still exudes from others.
    Regardless of any politics for once we were ahead of the game with this one and for the EU to threaten to block vaccine exports to the UK - a vaccine that we not only helped to fund but also ordered in bulk early is disgusting.
    A French grandma dying through EU incompetence is unfortunate, a UK grandma dying because a readily available vaccine is being held up at the border because of politics is I repeat, disgusting.

    Yes, I to can imagine the attitude of those that like to criticise the Govt at every turn for not actiing quick enough...
     
    Have Africa received the 5% Macron urged the EU to send yet or is he to busy worrying about blocking ones that should be delivered to us - this whilst the EU sit on 12m of unused vaccines themselves.

    It seems to me that we are not only willing but able to vaccinate huge numbers of people whilst the EU dither and play politics.  As far as I am concerned, not only did we help fund the development of the Astrazenica vaccination but placed a large order in good faith that should be honoured. 
    If we then decide to give some back to the EU, Africa or wherever that should be our choice - to block delivery is immoral.

    If you think our Govt are bad at least they haven't managed to convince over half the population (through nothing more than petty politics) that the way out of the crisis - the vaccine, isn't safe ?

    There seems to be a fair degree of happiness/smugness that the UK is doing better on vaccines than the big countries in Europe, and politicians like Macron somehow deserve it.
    Might be worth remembering that these countries are our closest partners and friends. Don't buy into the jingoism that we are better and not to trust them. Don't follow the desperate tabloid agendas.
    Can't everyone just be happy that we are getting loads of people vaccinated without having to take pleasure in the suffering of others? Just imagine that the French Grandma of that colleague dies before she can get the vaccine? Not so funny then.
    It's like the tabloid attitude when we have a heatwave. Find a few "hot" places like Greece, Barbados, Sydney etc and brag about how the UK is hotter than these losers.
