    EU Rules Flouted...

    ...by the Germans. Who'd have thunk it...

    Germany accused of breaching EU rules by purchasing supplies of vaccine unilaterally

      You might want to look a bit deeper into that deal rather than relying on the anti-EU Torygraph although why it should concern them now that the UK is out of the EU seems to be a bit weird.
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        It helps them forget about the terrible mistake they've made.

          Ah the "staunchly Pro Brexit" Reuters seems to think there is a fishy smell

          Despite this commitment to delay deliveries, Germany appears to have violated the pact that forbade governments to talk separately to vaccine makers, which was meant to ensure no country got privileged access to vital shots.
          “No member state is allowed to negotiate in parallel,” the EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Friday. However, a Commission spokesman repeatedly declined to comment on whether the German deal was legal under EU agreements.

          Facts confusing you again?

            Do you have proof of that

            Although if you read the article, the facts might have confused you and you only took the last couple of paragraphs as gospel because they said Germany 'might' have done something wrong. So far there is no proof of that

              Don't worry, the EU Commission President says 'nothing to see here'. Interesting phone call later?
              "Ursula, haben wir ein kleine problem?"
              "Nein, Mutti..."

              *Apologies for the very rusty German...

                Oh so it is perfectly normal for EU members to apparently ignore EU rules and then when questioned refuse to explain?

                Do explain why their actions are not an issue? Or you can just call any publication you disagree with a rag.

                  You obviously haven't read the article and I have no idea what your last sentence has to do with in relation to what is being discussed although you still haven't given any proof that Reuters is 'pro-Brexit'.

                  Is this you just going off target again because you're, once again, being proved wrong?

                    Both Reuters & the Telegraph have suggested there is an issue. You deny there is an issue but refuse to explain why. Not sure you talking complete balls is me being proven wrong!
