  1. Well said. Everyone around the world could see it was a scam.

  2. The women's so full poo, she lives in a 16 bathroom house so she can flush it. Preaching we should save water. Moves to the USA to SELL her "Privacy" to the highest bidder.

  3. Sob story. She sold her Privacy to American TV.

  4. Look at the way the French continue to treat the British after we sacrificed hundreds of thousands of lives to save the French people.

  5. They need to be silent. Or Silenced. Were sick and tired of listening to their Privacy.

  6. The moment the Actress started banging on about her children not being given the title Prince or Princess (which is not royal protocol because they are not direct heirs to the thrown) It is clear to see she has an axe to grind. Then you have to question the validity of every word the Actress says. The moment she started with that fake narrative, she proved she wasn't genuine.

  7. China never keeps it's end of the deal, with any country.

  8. Pinocchio & her Me Me Me Me. I demand you feel sorry for Me and you have to believe everything i say because i know the Royal Family wont defend themselves, so i can say what ever i like and get away with it. WHAT A SHAM.

  9. Harry left the UK to sell his so called "privacy" on American TV.

  10. Very true. The BLM riots got played down. Those riots went on for weeks. Then one single incident and suddenly they are calling Trump the devil. ?!?!!? That is the biased mainstream media at its best/worst. Showing there true colours.

  11. Never trust the EU. The EU is not a safe/secure place to do business with.

  12.  @melissaweigh4508  It was all cleverly scripted and edited. The Actress plays her role. To do the maximum damage and create division and hatred. Without offering any proof. In the knowledge the Royal family wouldn't lower its self by going tit for tat, to dispute these empty claims. This is the same Actress that tried to use the Royal brand to sell underwear. The same 40ish year old actress that has long track record stabbed her own family in the back. She failed to cash in on the Royal brand so she is cashing in on TV instead.

  13. The normal people of the UK want to do a trade deal with Australia. We love Australia and we need to pull together on trade between the UK & Australia.
    19
  14. This is more political nonsense from the extremists. The Woke Cancel Culture who demand they control how we should live our own lives and what we can and cant say. If this was a British artist covering a Spanish flag in blood, to highlight the Spanish slave trade of old, the Spanish would be up in arms.
    13
  15. @John Hoyle Trump did nothing the previous political party hadn't already done. So your wrong. The only difference was the media coverage.
    10
  16. No one is interested in them. Were sick of these Woke Box Tickers telling everyone how to live our lives, while they sit in their multi million mansion. Calling the whole of the UK racist when they lived in a little bubble. Meghan married a Prince of England and the people of England welcomed her with open arms. Then she threw a fit, when she wasn't allowed to monetise the Royal Brand for her own financial gains.
    10
  17. The MSN triggered the panic buying. Across the UK there was only 5 petrol station that had to close due to lack of drives because a few were off work because they were sick. Yesterday's poll of the public view put the panic buying blame on the MSM.

  18. We have a similar things happening here in UK schools. All the different extremist/anti establishment/radical ideals have no place in schools.

  19. Zero Net is fiction.

  20. The EU say's the AZ vaccine causes blood clots, at the same time demanding more AZ vaccines from the UK's AZ plant and threatening to block AZ vaccines leaving the EU that are due in to be delivered to the UK. !!!! They have already blocked 250,000 vaccines being delivered to Australia. This is the EU Commission's failed Dictatorship at work. The whole world is watching the EU Commissions Fake narrative. They talk about supplying vaccines around the world and yet they dont have enough for the EU's 450 Million population. The UK's Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine in being produced and sold at cost price of £1 each jab and all the other vaccines cost £6-£9 each jab. The UK's Oxford AstraZeneca vaccines has been licensed for production in countries around the world so it can speed up production around the globe and its being produced and sold at cost price. This is why the EU tries to slate the UK's Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine. Because it proves the UK is a world leader outside the restrictions of the EU's failed system. The EU couldn't even order vaccines in a timely manner.
    5
  21. The irony is Italy has a stockpile of 1.5 million vaccines but have only given vaccines to 300,000 people. The EU commission and many leaders of EU countries, slagged off/slated the AstraZeneca vaccine, because they couldn't get the vaccines in the volume they required (due to the EU commissions failure to order the vaccines in a timely manner) The French and German and Italian leaders wrongly stated the AZ vaccine was only 5% effective for people aged over 65 years old. Which turned out to be total fiction. That misleading information from EU leaders has made people think they dont work and are refusing the vaccines on mass. The EU placed their first order for about 400,000 vaccines 3 months after the UK placed orders for millions of vaccines. The EU commission also stopped individual EU countries ordering vaccines on their own. which was around the time the UK placed its order. It wasn't until the EU commissions mistake came to light that they placed an order for millions of vaccines in early January 2021. (the EU has a combine population of about 450 million people)

  22. Im from the UK and I can confirm all the people I know over the age of 75 have been offered the vaccine and the vast majority have had the vaccine including my own parents and uncles and aunties and all my elderly neighbors and friends families. I don't understand why anyone would think this is a hoax? The biggest surprise to me is that I thought some people wouldn't want to have the jab. There are multiple vaccination centers in every town and city around here and people can be seen entering and leaving constantly every day. So it's not a hoax.

  23.  @ammo9loaded64  That would imply she was a victim, which she clearly isn't. She's an actress, playing a part of the victim. Nothing more. I'm not living in the scare face mansion with 16 bathrooms. She is. Remind me who has just made millions selling her story around the world. If there was a victim in all this it's Harry. Dragged into a mess by his wife. Held hostage because of his kids. They say love is blind. In this case it really is. She made the choice to put her warped version of life in the royal family on TV, in exchange for millions. She has made shocking twisted statements that she cant back up. They refuse to name names. She has a long track record of burning her own family and now she has done the same thing to the royal family. She's an actress, playing a part of the victim. Nothing more. If she didn't want to be judged, she shouldn't air her dirty laundry on global TV in exchange for millions in the bank. An Actress playing the part of a victim doesn't make her a victim in real life.

  24. @John Hoyle oh what a pointless rant. Firstly we saw all the anti Trump haters make threats of violence towards Trump and his supporters and they are still doing the same thing now. Secondly we saw the BLM murder people and attack cities across the USA for months, while the MSM called them peaceful protests!!!!????. Trump didn't say anything that previous president had said and a lot worse from the Left. You say 5 deaths but we know some of those were accidents that had nothing to do with trump supporters. While that wasn't nice, it was caused by a handful of extremists. Look at the mess that is being created daily since your new president took office. Fuel prices up and thousands of jobs lost because of your flawed "Green Agenda". You fail to understand that it's an attack on your own economy which will hit your own bank balance. While I'm not a fan of Trump personally, he certainly improved the USA economy. Let's see how long Boden takes to undo all those improvements. Let's see how long it takes for it to effect your job and your income and your pension. When Biden rolls out the Welcome Mat for China, Will you defend Biden then?

  25. Just remember the UK was sending Covid vaccines to Australia, at the same time the EU was banning the export of legitimately purchased vaccines to Australia. I understand some people don't want the vaccines but to have them stolen by the EU takes away that choice. So when you start exporting gas to Europe, make sure the first stop is in the UK.

  26. I gave up trying to listen to Pinocchio & her Me Me Me Me. I demand you feel sorry for Me and you have believe everything i say because i know the Royal Family wont defend themselves, so i can say what ever i like and get away with it. WHAT A SHAM.

  29.  @rileyfozz8077  Im not having it either but that's because i caught Covid last year. My elderly parents have had the AZ vaccine. In the UK we have had over 100,000 people died of Covid and thank goodness Australia hasn't been effected badly. A family member of mine worked in a nursing home for the elderly. They lost more than 50% of the 42 residents to Covid within a few weeks. I think vaccines are a personal choice and i respect your choice. My mums in her 80's and in poor health so Covid would have certainly kill her. So it was her choice to have the AZ vaccine. We all know Covid mostly kills people over the age of 65+ years and people with health conditions.

  30. I see lots of anti-vaxxers triggered in the comments. Yes that's over 50% of the UK's adult population that have received a Covid Vaccine. No people are not dropping like flies in the UK from the vaccines.

  31. What a load of rubbish. The UK has a large number of Nightingale hospitals that have thousands of beds. All the Nightingale hospital are empty in the UK. Notice it's the SNP which are hording Covid funding that try's to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

  32.  @zainzoala1083  Because the moaner came to the UK and married into Royalty and then called everyone in the UK a Racist and stupid.!!!! The reality was she was welcomed with open arms by the UK public and she spat in their faces. She created the mess on her own. Now they live in a 16 Bathroom house, in an area that has water shortages and preaches about saving water. So you will have a hard time defending her hypocrisy.

  33. We want to do a fair & free trade deal with our friends in Australia. The UK and Australia need to stick together.

  34. Here in the UK, our bonkers BBC has made a program for kids, to teach our kids that there are 100 Genders????!??!!! They have lost the plot.

  36.  @hugheaston7598  I was simply stating facts. Facts don't require questioning or alternative views. There are roughly 70 Million people living on this little island called the UK. So when everyone suddenly goes out and buys 2 or 3 times the normal amount of any product, like they did with toilet rolls and now they have done it with fuel. There will be shortages while morons keep stockpiling

  37. No we cant stand this pair of idiots in the UK. They moved to the USA to sell their privacy on national TV.

  38. The EU slate the AZ vaccine at the same time demanding other countries supplies of the AZ vaccine???? The UK funded and developed Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is being sold at cost price. Costing £1 per dose. Compare that to the other Covid vaccines costing £6-£9 per vaccine. The UK has licensed the AZ vaccine to be manufactured around the world for zero profit and the EU still attacks the UK because they couldn't be bothered to order the vaccines until three months after they banned individual EU countries like Germany and Italy ordering their own vaccines. All because the EU Commission was on a power trip/grab. Is the EU almost bankrupt? Cant they afford to pay the additional £5-£8 for the other vaccines?
    2
  39.  @josephyates9936  The British are the reason the French still speak French instead of German. The UK funded the fight of WW2. The final repayment to the USA was made in the 1990's. So be quiet you deluded freak. Does the true facts hurt your feelings?

  40.  @jamesscott7616  You forgot to mention the millions of people the Russians killed in WW2. You have a very warped and selective memory or you are poorly educated?

  43. If they took that data offline in September, China knew the virus was in the public before September.

  44. @BuildBackNormal A family member of mine works in a UK nursing home. They lost 23 residents from Covid in 3 weeks.(total residents 42) So your talking utter rubbish. Most people in the UK have know someone has died of Covid. Yes the vast majority of those people were elderly or had health conditions. I had Covid last year and it was bloody scary. Anyone who thinks it's similar to having the flu is foolish.

  45. The Actress is full of it. They need that 16 bathrooms mansion to flush it,

  46. The EU BANNED vaccine exports. Did anyone notice the EU Commission (VDL) says Team Europe because the UK has funded the loins share of the vaccines that will be exported to third world countries. Yet VDL wants to pretend the EU is doing all the work. The EU Commission likes to flip flop between the words EU and Europe because the UK is in Europe.

  50. Let these idiotic police in the UK take notice that the UK public won't tolerate their poor behaviour. No real apology from the police. Just pointless excuses, in an attempt to sweep their vial actions under the carpet. Why haven't these police officers (all of them) been suspended? Why hasn't the female officer (if that's how she identifies) that caused this been sacked? What a bunch of thugs. I will now wait for a visit from the thought police, who wish to silence everyone who dare question the poor actions of the police.

  51. We are not listening to this in the UK. We want to do a trade deal with Australia

  52.  @buildmotosykletist1987  So WHY have many of the EU's countries stopped/paused giving the AZ vaccine? Unless this is a political act? Rather than anything based on medical facts. Other Covid vaccines have a similar "possible" side effects.

  53. Oh look at Harry & Meghan. They move to the USA to Sell their Privacy. Living in a 16 bathroom mansion telling everyone to save water. They need 16 bathrooms because they are so full of crap.

  54.  @edwingan1988  I think the whole world is taking stock of China's actions and re-thinking there attitude towards future dealing with China. Lets be honest and admit China isn't the cheapest place in the world for manufacturing any more. A lot of manufacturing has moved out of China to the rest of Asia. India and Africa will become the worlds manufacturing hubs over the next few decades.
    2
  55.  @edwingan1988  The whole world will queue up to trade with Australia. China put an 80% tariffs on Australia's Barley so India stepped in to buy it. The question is how will China feed its self when countries find alternative markets outside of China. The Chinese government has openly warned its people to prepare for food shortages and not to waste food.

  56.  Khan Ali  Yes you are correct. Your statement proves how dangerous China really is.

  57.  @laukokhun5001  Like most of my friends. We have reduced what we import from China as much as possible. That will carry on until the people of China throw out the CCP. No one has a problem with the hard working people of China. We just dislike the Corrupt CCP.

  58. Yes it will reduce the number of morons that are anti vax.

  59.  @MumT05  But how many Millions will die from the China Virus? The virus isn't going away. It is here to stay. New strains have already spread around the world. Year after year its going to come back. One day we will all be old/elderly and worried that the virus has hospitalised our friend or they have died from the virus. What happens when we become one of the 0.5% who dont survive? I caught Covid last year and it was scary. My parents are elderly. Yes im genuinely happy Australia hasn't been effected as badly as the UK. I hope that situation stays the same in the future. I would never wish anyone to see the constant flow of ambulances day and night, rushing people to hospital. One of my family members works in a retirement home for the elderly. They lost 16 of their residents to Covid in 3 weeks. That was half their residents. All im saying is these are real people that have died, not just numbers or percentages.

  63. People might not like or agree with Trump but he reduced taxes and increased wages and massively reduced unemployment by creating genuine jobs. Trump achieved far more in 4 years than Obama did in 8 years. The Woke, Box Ticking, Green agenda jobs that aren't profitable, Plus higher taxes are already back with a vengeance with Biden. China and Russia don't need to drop nuclear weapon on America or cyber warfare on America, they just need to keep Biden and his cronies in power for the next 8 years to destroy the USA.

  64. I'm from the UK and SKY News Australia is the best news outlet online for free thinkers. I dont have to agree with everything SNA puts out but it is my personal right to watch what i want. The same way my brain tells me turn over or watch something else, if i dont want to watch it. I don't want or need Youtube to sensor what i can and can't watch.

  65. Over 27 Million people in the UK have had the Covid vaccines so far. I'm neither for or against vaccines. Both my elderly parents have had the AstraZeneca jab.

  66.  @cadaeishere8242  I'm not saying i would have the vaccine. I caught Covid last year. It hit me hard. I was really rough for 2 weeks and had the constant cough for 4 weeks. I still had shortness of breath 4 months after i'd recovered. Honestly something that bad would have killed my elderly mother because she has health conditions and she's nearly 80 years old. Vaccines are a personal choice and i'm not preaching that anyone should or shouldn't have the jab.
    1
  67.  @ryogunther5070  My point was that it was the right choice for my elderly parents to have the Covid vaccine and it's my personal choice not to have the vaccine because iv already had Covid. My daughter was made extremely ill from the HPV vaccine and had long term health issues because of it, over many years. So I'm not telling anyone to what they should do because everyone is different.
    1
  68.  @mickkemp2450  I offer a genuine comment and you say something as daft as that? I have no problem with you being Anti Vax because im not Pro vax. So why do you think its OK to make a comment like that about my family? Unless your being a Troll to get a reaction?

  69. The moment the Actress Meghan started banging on about her children not being given the title Prince or Princess (which is not royal protocol because they are not direct heirs to the thrown) It is clear to see she has an axe to grind. Then you have to question the validity of every word the Actress says. The moment she started with that fake narrative, she proved she wasn't being genuine.

  70.  @L0b0ts  Honestly I think your talking rubbish. The elderly are scared/worried about Covid. The only people who seem to be refusing the vaccine are from the worst effected BAME communities. I'm not elderly but I caught Covid last year. It's crappy and I was still short of breath months afterwards. I know of elderly people locally who have died from Covid and a family member works in a retirement home where almost half the residents died (14 in total)
    1
  71. @Event201 Plushie Sorry but your wrong. Iv got a vaccination center just up the road from where I live. There is a constant flow of people going to get vaccinated every day. So your talking rubbish.
    1
  72. @Event201 Plushie So your trying to make out 15 million people in the UK haven't had there Covid vaccine? Yes iv already said elderly people are scared/worried. I'm not sure if I would/will have the Vaccine when I'm offered it? Iv already had Covid.
    1
  73. @Event201 Plushie Firstly do you understand how these Vaccine centers are set up? You walk into a reception area. Then you get called to a sperate seating area which is a waiting area. Then you get called over for your injection. Then you go to another area for at least 15 minutes after the jab. Every area and ever chair is disinfected between each person. So if someone managed to get a camera into a vaccine center they would be stopped at the reception area and got no further without an appointment. Of course they would look fairly empty because they don't want everyone sitting next to each other. So I'm calling BS on what ever you think you have seen. Because all these vaccine centers have been set up in the same way. For safety reasons. Iv walked past 3 different vaccine centers and my parents have both been to different ones. They are all set up in the same way. So that is comparing 5 different vaccine centers. Iv also spoken to friends that live in different areas and they had the same type of set up. With the different zones to keep people separate for safety.

  77. I remember 15 years ago in the UK. I was at a second hand market and there was a bloke wearing a burka and a pair of very old ripped work boots. The moment everyone heard him talk, we all gave him a wide birth. These days with extremists on the rise we would have called the police.

  78. Oh yes it has. The whole world is watching the EU's dirty tricks, in an attempt to cover up it's own failures. Listen to the big fat lies. The EU commission stopped individual EU member countries ordering vaccines. Which delayed the manufacturing process in the EU by 3 months. Then the EU started hurling threats around when their failures came to light. Even raiding the AstraZeneca factories. Then the tried to fudge it to cover up the EU's failures. Now they are patting eachother on the back saying what s good job they have done. Then the EU commission expect the whole world to swallow their BS. LOL 🤣😆

  79. We wont holiday in the EU this year. The combination of the EU's failed vaccine rollout means the EU will be an Amber or Red travel zone this year. The way the EU has constantly attacked the UK and UK Ex-Pats living in the EU is horrific. UK pensioners that have retired to the likes of Spain and France are being given 30 days to leave because of the new "minimum income" rule they have just dreamed up. Plus the way the EU restricted vaccine exports (the word "restricted" is EU double talk for Banned) So were not in any hurry to support the EU's economy in the next few years.

  81.  @Aaronwhatnow  It was proved that BP were the ones who leaked the fake story to the media. If you dont understand there are always a handful of petrol stations that are closed every day of the year because they run out of fuel across the whole of the UK. Then you need to have a serious rethink. BP reported 5 petrol stations had closed on that day. Then the MSM reported Scary Headlines of "fuel shortages" and the panic buying started. The MSM manufactured/triggered the panic buying, which caused fuel shortages. Next you will be saying this is because of Brexit !!!!! but if that was the case, WHY didn't this "fuel shortage" happen when we left the EU?
    1
  82.  @hugheaston7598  Wrong again. Most people don't fill their fuel tanks to the top in the UK. On average most people put £20-£30 in their tank every week. Only people doing long trips every day fill their fuel tanks to the top. Even if you live in the countryside, your only 5-10 miles from a petrol station at the very most. Yes if you travel to remote areas of Scotland there might be 15-20 miles between one petrol station and the next. Where i live there are two petrol stations just up the road and there used to be two more 100-200 meters down the road. In any direction from my house there will be at least one petrol station every mile for at least a 50 mile radius. So you are clearly talking utter rubbish. I asked my mates wife what all the fuss is about because she works in a petrol station and she says they are getting fuel deliveries more than normal to cope with the loopy panic buyers. BP leaked the fake news to the MSM because there was a grand total of 5 petrol station closed because they had a couple of truck drivers off sick. The rest is just morons panic buying. We have seen the idiots filling up 10x fuel cans at the back of their car and people filling plastic pop bottles with fuel. Is that normal? Or is that stupid people panic buying. I can assure you of one thing, you cant buy a 5 liter petrol fuel can in the UK at the moment because the morons bought them all.
    1
  83.  @hugheaston7598  That's because normal people understand carrying the extra weight of a full tank of fuel reduces fuel mileage, The same as having low pressure in your tyres or carrying extra weight in the boot of the car. Thats the reason manufactures fit a space saver wheel and tyre. Over the lifetime of a vehicle the reduced weight of the space saver wheel and tyre will save hundreds of pounds in fuel. It's not rocket science. If your idea was correct and everyone fills their fuel tank up to the top. Why were people queuing to fill up at the petrol station? You think there fuel tanks are full, so where are they putting the fuel? If everyone's tanks are full, Why did the petrol stations put a £35 limit to stop the panic buyers? How are they putting more than £35 in the tank if they are filled up every week? Your logic is flawed.

  84.  @mikesmith-wk7vy  It was built as a multi purpose fighter. I theory a module change from bomber to a high speed air to air fighter. After years of redesigns/upgrades some of the countries involved got a useable planes at 4 times the original cost but still only single use, instead of a multi purpose fighter. Im not sure if Germany has their planes working yet?
    1
  85.  @item6931  They had a dozen redesigns. It was a joint project run between a few European countries. In the end the project failed to be completed as a joint venture after costing 4 times the original cost. Then the individual countries had to complete their own design and finish the projects. Which cost even more to complete. It never came close to delivering a cost effective multi use fighter. Where spare parts could easily and cheaply sourced and swapped out because every country finished the planes differently. The last time i looked Germany still had none functioning (not battle ready) planes.

  86. @Chitragupta It was the French and German parts that caused to constant failures on the Euro fighter. Germany as of 2019 still hadn't got their Eurofighter planes up and running. LOL

  90. This is another political attack. The Netherlands has a pop at AZ because their government got caught out. AZ asked the Netherland for 8 Million in funding to increase vaccine manufacturing by 5 times the volume. (back in April 2020) The Netherlands refused and the UK government stepped in with 22 Million to increase vaccine capacity in the Halix plant based in the Netherlands. Now the Netherlands has egg on its face, because they didn't help with funding and they are refusing to export vaccines to the UK, when the UK funded the production in the Netherlands.

  92. This is a Political attack by the EU against AZ. They hope countries will cancel their orders for the AZ vaccine and then the EU can swoop in and buy them. The EU demand more AZ vaccines from the UK and ban exports of the AZ vaccines. At the same time saying they are dangerous. We all know this isn't the first time the EU has employed dirty tricks to get what they want. The other Covid vaccines have a similar volume of side effects but there is no mention about those. There are side effects from taking Paracetamol that are just as serious. There are more serious side effects from blood pressure tablets for goodness sakes.

  94. This was just a political attack on the UK. Not based on medical facts. The EU attacked the UK's Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine because it proves the UK is thriving outside the failed EU project. The whole world is watching the EU's vaccine mess. They say the AZ vaccine causes blood clots, at the same time demanding more AZ vaccines from the UK's AZ plant and threatening to block AZ vaccines leaving the EU that are due in to be delivered to the UK and other countries that ordered vaccines 3 months before the EU Commission did. !!!! They have already blocked 250,000 vaccines being delivered to Australia. This is the EU Commission's failed Dictatorship at work. The whole world is watching the EU Commissions Fake narrative. They talk about supplying vaccines around the world and yet they dont have enough for the EU's 450 Million population. The UK's Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine in being produced and sold at cost price of £1 each jab and all the other vaccines cost £6-£9 each jab. The UK's Oxford AstraZeneca vaccines has been licensed for production in countries around the world so it can speed up production around the globe and its being produced and sold at cost price. This is why the EU tries to slate the UK's Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine. Because it proves the UK is a world leader outside the restrictions of the EU's failed system. The EU couldn't even order vaccines in a timely manner.

  98. Watching from the sidelines in the UK. It was clear Trump increased wages and jobs in the USA and lowered taxes. That meant everyone gained from the normal hard working people in the USA all the way to the company owners/bosses/CEO's. When the American economy thrives everyone win in the USA. It doesn't matter if people dont like Trump but anyone who questions the amazing achievements Trump made, while constantly being attacked, needs their heads looking at. We watched the bias woke media coverage in the US and we have the same problem in UK. We have been battling the woke media in the UK over the past 5 years on a daily basis. I only wish the UK & USA could have done a trade deal while Trump was in power. Fingers crossed that happens next time Trump gets into power.

  100. This was the EU's attempt to attack & punish the UK. I also think the EU was hoping other countries would cancel their orders for AZ vaccines and the EU would swoop in and grab them. The EU says the AZ vaccine doesn't work on the elderly, while at the same time demanding AZ vaccines from the UK. Now the same EU leaders are only giving the AZ vaccine to their elderly. Proving you cant trust a word that comes from the EU's leadership. The truth is there as many reports of blood clots from the other covid vaccines. The EU never mentions that. When you consider this possible risk of 1 person per million that might have a blood clot that "might" be related to a covid vaccine. Compare that to the death rate of Covid. Many countries in Europe have a Covid death rate close to 100,000 people. The risk from a Covid vaccine is miniscule compared to Covid death risks.

The new variant spreads more easily but its far less dangerous. The flu kills millions of people every year and we dont have constant lockdowns for the flu.

I'm not from the USA but all the Anti Trump Media hype isn't fooling anyone. I might not be a Trump fan and it's not my place to be a fan of either side because it's not my country.

  136.  @buildmotosykletist1987  As far as I'm aware the only reason Rolls Royce has the designs/technology from the American government is to building them for the UK government to deploy they around the world to protect strategic UK assets. Look at the way Jersey and Guernsey had their power supply threatened by France recently. Guernsey already has its own back up oil fueled generators for emergency use but they are not cost efficient to run long term. The whole point of building these small reactors is to make them portable. So they can be used in case of an emergency. To keep key points of a city running if there is a state of emergency or the power supplies are threatened. The manufacturing is being funded by the UK tax payers.

  139. The UK ordered and Pre-paid for those vaccinations 3+ months before the EU finally got organised. This proves Brussels bureaucracy is a failure. Brussels actually stopped individual EU countries placing orders with AstraZeneca which delayed the production in Europe by 3 months. Now Brussels wants to jump the queue to cover up their failure to act fast. SHAME on Brussels, they will cost many lives lost. No one in Brussels is accountable for this tragic/horrific mistake. No one in Brussels will be punished. The EU/Brussels unelected leaders are a Dictatorship. The EU/Brussels are not a democracy. They work for themselves and not for the normal hard working people living in the EU.

  142. This is a political act by the EU, not a medical one. Everyone knows this is political because they failed to order AZ vaccines. Now the have to pause the vaccine roll out across the EU because they dont have enough vaccines to give out. Other vaccines have a similar rate of possible side effects to the AZ vaccine and the EU doesn't mention them. The EU demands AZ vaccines from the UK while stating they dont work on the over 65's. Then the raid the AZ factories and offices. Then the EU bans exports of the AZ vaccine. They even triggered Article 16 of the GFA for a few hours until they were forced to back down, in an attempt to stop AZ vaccines leaving the EU and entering the UK across the Irish border. Now they say the AZ vaccine causes blood clots?!!! Are the EU trying to get other countries to cancel the AZ orders so the EU can buy more of them?

  146. The EU has exported Nothing. Countries around the world placed orders with vaccine companies with factories based in the EU. Those vaccine companies exported to countries outside the EU to for fill their contractual agreements. The EU owns ZERO vaccines to export. The EU has treated AstraZeneca so badly that Novavax still hasn't signed a vaccine supply contract with the EU, over a month after the UK signed a vaccine supply contract with Novavax for 60 Million vaccines. That's because Novavax fears the EU could attack them in the same way. The EU was so busy dreaming up new ways to attack the UK, they didn't have any interest in funding vaccine research. That's why the French vaccine company Valneva moved their research and started building their manufacturing plant in the UK in September 2020.

  160.  @emanuelpetre5491  As it is well documented that AZ only signed a Best Effort contract with the EU. There was never a guaranteed time line or a guarantee of the volume of vaccines that would be supplied. The EU's independent legal team highlighted this before the EU signed the contract with AZ. They also pointed there was no legal basis that allowed the EU to take legal action against AZ if the vaccine numbers couldn't met on time. Twice the EU has raided AZ, proving the EU commission/Brussels act like a bunch of thugs. That is why many other vaccine companies refuse to sign supply contracts with the EU.
    1
  161.  @emanuelpetre5491  The Contract was partially publish by accident by the EU, when they originally showed the redacted AZ contract. In the side headers the full version could be clearly read. Brussels pays to have most, if not all their legal contracts looked at by independent legal teams. They highlighted the issues i mentioned before the EU 27 signed the AZ contract. That legal advice was made public. I think the original information was published on the Politico website? (a few weeks ago) about the independent legal advice the EU received about the AZ contract.

  162.  @emanuelpetre5491  This horrible virus has effected everyone. I understand the EU's legal structure is over complicated, simply because it need every EU 27 member country to sign off on purchasing, which unfortunately slows that process down. I hope the virus gets under control very soon. For all of us. I'm English and i certainly dont wish any harm on anyone in Europe or anyone in the world. In the UK we seem to have finally got the virus under control (until the next variant of Covid pops up) What i find upsetting is AZ asked Brussels and the Netherland for 8 Million to increase vaccine production volumes production by 5 times in the Halix plant and they both refused. Eventually the UK stepped in with 20 Million for the Halix plant. That caused months of delays. The French vaccine company Valneva finally gave up asking for help from the EU and signed a contract in September to move their vaccine research and development and manufacturing to the UK. Because of the way AZ has been treated by the EU, Novavax has set up their whole vaccine manufacturing in the UK in December/January and has given up trying to deal with the EU. Saying it will do individual deals with each EU country. I'v had my first vaccine and in a 3 weeks time im due to have my second vaccine. I hope you stay safe and wish you all the best for the future.

  163.  @emanuelpetre5491  Yes you are correct assets were moved from the UK to the EU. In the same way assets were moved from the EU to the UK. 400 UK financial sector firms applied to open offices in the EU in the last 6 months of 2020. At the same time 1500 EU based financial sector firms applied to open offices in the UK for the first time. There were always going to be changes due to Brexit. Sadly there will be further divisions between the UK & EU in the next few years. Please Please remember the people of the UK still love the people of Europe. We just dislike the heavy handed tactics of the EU commission. The Brexit vote was almost a 50/50 split in the UK. I didn't vote to leave the EU. In regards to the AZ vaccine. The UK government invested heavily in the research and development of the AZ vaccine in the UK and in Europe and sent a letter of intent to purchase that vaccine in May 2020. In exchange for the early funding AZ gave the UK a guaranteed supply contract. It was the Oxford University and the UK government that teamed up with AZ to sell vaccines at cost price/zero profit for at least 6 months to help developing/poor countries around the world. When the EU placed it's first order with AZ the original order was for 40 Million vaccines. The EU has a population of 450 Million people. Then in December 2020 the EU placed an order for 300 Million vaccines with AZ and January 2021 the EU placed a third order with AZ. You have to admit the EU Commission was slow to act. Now the EU has cancelled all orders of the AZ vaccine after June 2021. I hope and pray the EU has the Pfizer vaccine production up to speed by the end of June for the sake of the people living inside the EU. I hope you remember the UK does not wish any harm on the people of Europe.
