    EU mask slipping. Next they'll be putting the made in Germany jackboots on.

    Brexit: EU introduces controls on vaccines to NI

    DUP leader Arlene Foster described the move as "an incredible act of hostility" by the EU.

    The EU invoked Article 16 of the Northern Ireland Protocol which allows parts of the deal to be unilaterally overridden.

    Mrs Foster said the EU had placed a "hard border" between Northern Ireland the Republic of Ireland.
    EU doing what the UK dared not.
    Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

      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.

        The factories making the AstraZeneca and Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine in the UK - Business Live

        The East Yorkshire headquartered smart science specialist is supplying an ingredient used in the Pfizer BioNtech Covid-19 vaccine.

        The carrier is used to transport the vaccine's active element into the body.

        It is produced at sites in the UK and US.

        The company is remaining tight lipped on where the drug delivery systems will be produced, confirming only the UK and US, with domestic production thought to be heading to Pfizer’s Belgian operations.

              UK governments (of all colours) have a habit of refusing to publish contracts due to "national security" or more often "commercial sensitivity" reasons which is why there are some many groups and charities in the UK take them to Court.

              In regards to the contract between AZ and the UK, both the UK government and AZ probably can argue that the EU is not a party to the AZ and the UK agreement done under a UK jurisdiction so therefore they have no legal right to see it.

              Whether people living in the UK have a legal right is a different matter....

                    You voted for the UK to be a third county to the EU just like Russia and Afghanistan. You won, get over it.
