It's building up for Johnson to have his 'Falklands moment', where circumstances allow the Tories to manipulate events so that voters forget his long list of failings and support him as he waves the butcher's apron and stands up for the UK. The bit I've put in bold certainly worked for the Brexit debacle and that is what the Tory Party seems to exist for, but I don't see a Falklands moment happening any time soon. I doubt many will he forgetting his failings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have friends abroad (Scottish and English) and they have a completely different point of view because the European media are reporting this in a different way. They're not in Sweden, for example. OK so AstraZeneca is a partly Swedish company but 'the Swedish media' seem to reporting it similarly to the UK press. The main point seems to be that the EU dropped a bollock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Normally the EU f**k ups aren’t as well publicised as this one has been.What a state they’ve got themselves into. I think we should offer them assistance, they certainly need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priti priti priti Patel Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Has anyone got a link to the contract the EU released? I can't find it via Google but from what I have just heard on Newsnight, and as a commercial litigator, it seems like a stupidly vague contract that was always going to end in a dispute. Would be interested to have a read though if anyone's got a link they can share. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media are going all out to amplify the 'them and us' aspect of the Astra/Zeneca row. These damn foreigners are stealing our vaccine.....Brexit was all worthwhile ! The Tories must be loving all of this. It's building up for Johnson to have his 'Falklands moment', where circumstances allow the Tories to manipulate events so that voters forget his long list of failings and support him as he waves the butcher's apron and stands up for the UK. Don't underestimate how much all of this could work in Johnson's favour, even in Scotland. So you're conscious that this happens but you don't believe the SNP have done the same with the Royals and Boris visiting Scotland... that's impressive cognitive dissonance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. I explained in my other post. There's no political gain for the SNP in attacking the royal family. Scotland isn't full of republicans and the SNP leadership are most certainly not anti-royalists. Nicola Sturgeon merely questioned if their journeys were necessary, which I think is fair enough. Johnson of course, is a different matter. It's all political, which means that if he and his gang are going to swan into Scotland waving their butcher's aprons, the SNP are perfectly entitled to counter that. Back on topic though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you're just not very bright rather than purposefully obtuse then. It's blatant and apparant to everyone that their is political gain in attacking the Royals, the same people that go on about butchers aprons lap that stuff up, funnily enough, I wonder why... In the same way that Bojo courts undesirable gammony racist Brextremists Nicola also courts undesirable gammony xenophobic Nationalists. It's like when you guys call OF fans cheeks of the same arse, you get utter cretinous people on here that foam at the mouth about the other side when they're effectively looking in a mirror. Both political leaders play to the gallery by engaging in such low level identity based politics and this gets lapped up by both sides but when you point out an instance of this occurring to one side it's of no surprise that the drawbridge goes up, the red dots and insults come out and the cozy blanket of cognitive dissonance helps you sleep at night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline Don Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Correct me if I have got this wrong, but did the EU not just attempt to trigger a clause in the deal that they had agreed with the U.K. Whereas the U.K. last year threatened to disregard part of a treaty they had previously agreed with the EU therefore breaking international law at the time. I am not saying that what the EU were doing was right, just that it is a bit hypocritical of the usual British media portrayal of Johnny Foreigner bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
