    Did you ever wonder why Germany is seeing fewer deaths than the UK yet infection rate is higher in Germany?
    Just an article on that on sky news. 2 reasons: -
    1. More testing
    2. Luck. It happened in Italy first.

    How did Germany lose WW2?

    Funny how the main ones getting vexed about this are the Quisling expats.

    Like anyone gives a fook what THEY have to say about the country they abandoned.

    There is a very valueable lesson to be learnt here - give donations to political parties (both) if you want to be heard.

    Not funny, corrupt. Corrupt to the core.

    The Junta clearly prefer to service their paymasters before the voters.

    It's quite funny that Brexit Boris has asked his Brexit supporting chums at JCB and Dyson to make ventilators when they've never made them before meaning they have to design it, re-jig productions lines and then get it through regulation. Probably won't be ready for at at least a month or so.

    What a load of nonsense. Its not buying power, or a procurement scheme that is needed. Its just companies to make them.

    Lets face it, if we were in such a scheme and a UK manufacturer made 100K that would somehow be 90k for the EU and 10K for us.

    Apparently the "emails were missed" asking them if they wanted to participate in the first round but anyway:

    Downing Street announced a U-turn over the EU-wide ventilator procurement scheme. A spokesman for No 10 said the UK did not receive an invitation in time to join in the first effort to procure ventilators and other equipment “owing to an initial communication problem”.
