I have other contracts which are support only so no travel involved but I’ve been involved with this particular company for 14 years. This was the deciding factor there were other factors including travel restrictions under Covid and the cost for travel was going up each time so not all down to Brexit but certainly the decisive factor now.

horsefly 4,310 Posted January 28, 2021 45 minutes ago, SwindonCanary said: nothing to do about Brexit ? EU official calls for UK-made vaccines to go to Europe | Daily Mail Online NO you buffoon! This is NOTHING to do with Brexit. The UK order was submitted according to EU regulations. The UK order was made much earlier than the EU's and it turned out to be a gamble that paid off (but that is still NOTHING to do with Brexit). The EU's argument is that AZ promised to meet an order and has failed to provide what they promised (still NOTHING to do with Brexit). Why are you suprised that the EU are angry about this? Had EU based Pfizer failed to provide millions of the vaccines that we ordered (and were promised to us) would you have expected the UK government to complain? Of course you would, and our complaint would have had NOTHING to do with Brexit, but would have been a straightforward contractual issue. Thus the merits or otherwise of the EU's claim that AZ should at least meet some of their contractual requirements by sharing out some of the UK produced vaccine is NOTHING to do with Brexit. Trying to turn this serious failure by AZ to meet its contractual promises to the EU into a "Brexit plus" for the UK, is not only patently false, but is also morally base to say the least. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firstly, this one individual MEP does not speak for the entirety of the EU. Secondly, The hyperbole of a "trade war" being threatened is directly to do with AZ not utilizing their UK stocks to provide supplies of the vaccine to the EU. Their claim appears to be that utilizing UK stocks was specifically promised in their contract with AZ. Neither you nor I know whether that is true; but either way this is clearly a contractual dispute and NOTHING to do with Brexit. Learn to read you buffoon.

So is the fact that Germany has suffered 660 Covid deaths per 1m population whilst Britain has suffered considerably more than double that at 1496 per 1m population also a great thing about being an independent nation????? You seem to be reaching new heights of mind boggling stupidity - so much so that Jools seems to have given up even competing with you any more.
