Isn't it time to let this go?

Except for not being able to source enough vaccines...

But apart from that, what impact has brexit had on most people's lives?

A land grab by Mainland Europe how quaint!

Do you eat any fresh salad between November and say March?

By the sounds of it you have never looked so you will be in for a hell of a surprise when you do look.

Yeah its impossible to work around we should just submit!

The negative impacts have been shown on this forum not least the end of freedom of movement for Brits and business leaving in droves. How about you listing the Benefits of Brexit because no-one else has managed to do so.

Can't think of a single one.

But that's what the majority voted for, so it's tough luck.

We have vaccine - the EU doesn't!

We have vaccine - the EU doesn't!

That sounds a bit alternative factish.

But even if it were true, would it really have made any difference if we were still in the EU?

Guess who is going to lay all the extra charges in the end?

Loads of companies are saying they cannot export, it used to be a pish take to export, now it's a major hassle. This destroys businesses, which part do you not understand? Christ, look at the bigger picture and how it affects the economy, who gives a feck about the fact that Johnny Gammon doesn't order coats from France very often, if UK companies no longer have easy access to the rest of Europe?

Brexit is total bollocks but it's done now.

I can't see the likes of Johnson, Gove, Rees Mogg et al changing it.

I seriously doubt even a future Labour Government would be willing to revisit it.

People and businesses will just have to learn to live with it.

Sounds like reality to me.

As the Policy publicly announced by the EU is that vaccine has to be purchased at Bloc level (even though Germany ignored that) and they have only just done it yet haven't approved it for use do you think we would have vaccinated 7 million by now?

How about you listing the Benefits of Brexit

You stand a decent chance of getting vaccinated against Covid before you die of old age?

HTH BIDI

Indeed the UK was actually under EU law when the contracts were agreed. So no it would have made no difference, and there would have been a spat. In other words this was not due to Brexit. Other EU countries also have their own national contracts with vaccine suppliers. The difference is that the UK put exclusivity in their terms and conditions. This is not prohibited under EU law.

If the UK had been in the EU the EU wouldn't have been able to impose export restrictions so in fact the UK would have been in a better position. Other countries would have complained but legally there would have been nothing they could have done,
