“Dear Britain, we envy you”

@divegeester said
Perhaps you should ask German residents. I’m sure Biffo Plonker will be around at some point to offer some glib europillic anti-British perspectives.

Anyway on another note, the uk has just purchased 30 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine; how’s the EU’s negotiation on that one working out?

Biffo plonker?a new name for Boris?

Ah Kev mate, let the poms shine and have a little glory. They are a grey lot and they need a little sunshine now and again.

Indeed.
They need a boost after losing 120.000 people to tory incompetence.

I was just thinking.

The UK, besides vaccinations does have other good points:
- fish and chips
- bacon butties
- cadbury’s cream eggs

So there you go. Britain does rule the waves!
Well, besides that the fishing industry’s collapsing because of Brexit.

Well, and that the bacon generally comes from Denmark and is becoming problematic. Due to Brexit.

At least the bloody cream eggs will stay available!

Yes I totally understand where you are coming from. It's a dangerous game bragging in the face of another's misfortune. It tempts fate and hubris can be a very unkind master.

BTW how come I'm under the impression you were an Aussie?

An over reliance on common sense coupled with a tendency toward self deprecation on my part? 🙃

Kev,
You're right.

We have idiots running things here too.

But there is a light at the end of the tunnel now.
With 3 or 4 vaccines on the way and some already rolled out.

I await my turn and hope you have your turn also.

Let us be kind to each other and wish each other well.

We are all stronger together as decent human beings.

Forget politics.
...[text shortened]... ders in 1916.

We must move forward and stretch arms across the sea.

We can be better together.

Correct instantkarma we have to keep in mind that there are forces afoot in our part of the world who would love to have us at each others throats.
We must resist tribalism, especially important for our shared goal of the reunification of your island and good neighbourliness on mine.

Since Brexit, there has been no cliff-edge we were warned repeatedly to expect. Instead, we had the flexible surefootedness to secure and rollout vaccinations while the EU fell over its own feet, and currently, the pound is on the way up.

And yep, we do great chips.

You’re upset because I pointed out what a crap state your country is in.

I get that.

EU now blocking vaccine shipments to AUZ as the outcome of their incompetence magnifies...

And now the EU are lying about the UK and US banning exports of vaccine components.
