More bungling incompetence from the British government.

First it was no up and running computerised records of who got what doses and when and now it’s jabs up to 4 months apart!

Covid vaccine: chief medical officers defend rescheduling of second doses theguardian.com/society/2020/d…

Again and again this government displays a rare talent or capacity for screwing up everything around the promises made in respect of their response to this pandemic. Everything they touch goes pear shaped!

They are chancers who fly by the seat of their pants in first promising they will deliver on PPE, a track and trace system on time that actually works, tests that are reliable, staffing of the NHS and proper hospitals to deal with a pandemic situation etc etc and then renege!

They are con artists who are up to their eyeballs in deceiving the public at every turn with vaccinators having to revert to pen & paper exercises to record patient details of those given the jab & private firms brought in to deliver shoddy testing of those told to self- isolate.

When will the scales fall from the eyes of the Brexit junkies who voted for these Tory idiots that couldn’t even manage a corner shop without running out of supplies, short staffed and shut down in no time, jobs lost and no sign of reopening for business anytime soon.

Now the mainstream media are deflecting our attention away from the Tories failure to deliver the booster shot for the Pfizer vaccine on time by announcing with great aplomb that the Astra-Zeneca vaccine will be available - (ie. for anyone else still waiting on their first jab)😡

Instead of a vaccine with 94% chance of protection, they’re fobbing us off with another vaccine that has at best 70% effectiveness whilst telling us it’s just as good because it’s made in a #Brexit Britain that even fuckwits can guarantee supplies of & maintain in transit. 🤷‍♂️🤨

This government can get away with this piss take because they have now conditioned most people to be so shit scared they will accept whatever they decide in the belief we must grab at any vaccine as it is better than none just like the public’s response to the U.K.-EU trade deal!

This is insufficient grounds to accept a lesser alternative to the Pfizer vaccine if getting vaccinated is your preference to no vaccine at all and tells us more about the government’s inability to roll out mass vaccinations without flimsy excuses for screwing up the process!

The off-licenses will be doing a roaring trade and on street drug dealers will be busy in the run up to New Years Eve. More alcoholism, drug dependency and increase in suicide rate as a result of these lockdowns and curfews. That is the only real fact about this pandemic we know!

As for the singing Auld Lang Sang...fuck that! We should remember all those old acquaintances we lost through the criminal negligent if this government to act and protect its citizens.. especially the elderly!

That includes those younger with underlying health conditions that were written off as Covid related deaths. There has been more massaging of Covid statistics than a Thai massage parlour to create panic amongst the population that Covid is the sole the cause of our ills.

Under curfew 8pm to 6am in Northern Ireland, England facing possible new level of restrictions by government that exceeds even Level 4? Where will this end? All of us under lock and key in our homes, doing time on the funny farm whilst waiting months on end for the vaccine?

Leading social commentators falling into line with a unproven narrative that places all bets on the vaccine actually working and for how long no one knows, not even the scientists. Will government spend on vaccines next year even if they do protect us temporarily? Not likely!

It’s looking more and more like project fear ramped up by an elite that has panicked the citizens of the U.K. into believing that this virus is the Black Plague of the mediaeval era all over again and that the scientists are infallible in their predictions and our only hope!

How the UK government can assert that fishing rights are one of the two main priorities is totally incredulous given that decades of mismanagement by successive British governments have hastened the decline of an already threatened industry before the UK even joined the EU.

The quota hoppers ( ie. Spanish Trawlers registered under a British flag) that joined the biggest English fleet in a cooperative pre 1970's was the beginning of decline. Then followed a UN convention which allowed a coastal state to extend its fishing zone to 200 miles.

By the mid 1970's Iceland seized upon the opportunity given by the 1970 UN convention and launched the cod wars to seize more fish in British and Irish territorial waters. The British government did nothing and compensated whole fleets to stay in port doing nothing.

Freedom, Fish and Foreigners. The three things Brexiters have a compulsive disorder over. The rabid right wing press feed them their daily dose of toxic messaging of gunship diplomacy, a pirates understanding of the Law of the Seas and a rogue state's notion of sovereignty.

We are being fed a simpleton's version of the Law of the Seas Convention which much more complex than the media or Tory ministers and MP's care to study. At its heart is negotiation, customary rights and obligations, not gunships or jingoism.

International Law contradicts the simplistic narrative offered by the British government. Fishing rights are exceptionally poorly understood, as generally in common law jurisdictions their ambit is defined by a collection of ancient court cases under the public right to fish.

It’s ironic that those Ulster Unionists who are bleating on about their ‘Britishness’ now being betrayed when they were the ones, led by the DUP they voted for in big numbers who backed Brexit to the hilt.

They were misled by the DUP all along and sold the belief that by voting leave they would ensure their union was future proofed by ringfencing the partition of Ireland through a hard land border. That was the plan anyway.

Of course they didn’t factor in the untrustworthiness of the British government as they thought it was all sown up the minute the DUP signed the toxic confidence-and-supply deal with Theresa May.

Disabled, Cancer and Sick U.K. citizens will be penalised, lied to and left without the insurance cover to travel abroad as a result of a no deal Brexit independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Any chance of EHIC and Erasmus continuing are history with effect from the end of the transition period yet we have more deliberate attempts to mislead the U.K. public into thinking it will survive for a period of time once a no deal Brexit occurs in January, 2021. 🤷‍♂️😡

Insurance hikes on holiday cover will effectively discriminate against disabled or sick U.K. travellers disproportionately under a no deal Brexit when compared to the previous EU arrangements.
