Be careful with this story.
While it is shameful that our government would turn down an opportunity for more life saving equipment during a health emergency purely due to pathological europhobia... Unless the EU ventilator scheme proves successful, it was a foul with no harm.

Please recognise two things:
1) Accusing the government of extreme and toxic europhobia won't hurt them. Hell, it won them an election. So while we find their rejection of the EU ventilator scheme for political reasons shameful, it won't tip the scale.

2) The government allowing mass gathering while other countries locked down means we're dealing with a level of governmental incompetence that has already *provenly* caused avoidable deaths.
Pointing to things that don't hit that bar, doesn't strengthen the argument against them.
