You will never get to EU heaven Guy

Calling it the UK Kent virus variant makes it sound like it's something we have manufactured to unleash on the World.

It was called the Wuhan virus for a while and no-one questioned it, but then Trump and the Klu-Klux clan turned it into a xenophobic bashing pole

If we called it the Wuhan variant, there would be uproar and charges of xenophobia.

You sound so Gammon-like.

Be more British.

Anyone here think that the EU never screws up? Nope, me neither. Just another Brexiter fantasy.

No unfortunately it is a reality, we missed a bullet there.

How they respond to a screw up normally shows the measure of an organisation. Do you think they are responding well?

It started off as the Wuhan virus, got renamed to COVID after they found out what it was and then renamed the Chinese Plague by Trump, which he always said in a sneering tone.

As I said previously, if the Tories had gripes about the EU, then had they put 1% of the effort and money on reforming the EU that they spent on Brexit, then we would all be better off.

EU reform deal: What Cameron wanted and what he got - BBC News

The sceptics say it does not come close to winning the UK back control of its own affairs - and Mr Cameron is set to announce further measures which he claims will put the sovereignty of the Westminster Parliament "beyond doubt".
Some key areas also appear to be have been dropped along the way. There will be no repatriation of EU social and employment law, which was a 2010 manifesto commitment. There will be no changes to the working-hours

Assessment: Mr Cameron had to compromise on this aspect of the deal in the face of strong opposition from Poland and three other central European countries. He got the four-year "emergency brake" on in-work benefits he had set such store by - but new arrivals will have their tax credits phased in over four years.

No, that was a quickie fix for back bench MPs. However, it's ironic that the Tories wanted reform on the very EU agreements that they put forward to the EU in the first place.

We proposed a Federal Europe? Blimey we spent centuries making sure that didn't happen under Napoleon and the NAZIs.

Only if you're a tin-foil hat wearing moron who think it was manufactured by the Chinese to unleash on the world. To the rest of us, it's merely descriptive.

And why is anyone quote loonies like Roger Helmer or Paul Joseph Watson?
