Yep!! Absolutely right! I'm an ex contracts man, done them for years - compiled them, negotiated them, reviewed them and revised/refined them. Studied rotten civil eng contracts (+ others) and lessons learnt from them. This is all about the set clauses in a contract that has been signed and sealed by all parties and the print detail is obviously very important!! Also the comment that the EU has "shown its true colours"!!?? WTF does that mean???? The EU officials are likewise trying to deal with a pandemic in the best way that they can do it!! F### the Brit political isolationism and a reason to find fault with the EU who I've previously said are not perfect by any manner or means but I certainly don't "buy" the shit, the jingoism, the isolationism, the angst, the xenophobia, the misogny, the politics of hate and subversion of democratic principles and the law itself being preached from these Brexit/Tory c### in Westminster!! May I also add that if the Brexit con had not been stupidly approved and done, this issue wouldn't even be debated at all. The other issue that struck me about this vaccine dispute is to ask, "Did nobody observe the ridiculous jingoism attached to that moment when Johnson and his fascist accomplices, like Gove and Hancock, started 'beating the British drum' re their great achievement etc etc" - IT WAS F###### WELL EMBARRASSING COMING FROM THE BIGGEST F### UP GOVT IN EUROPE!! IMO there is a global mission to defeat this virus and it doesn't just centre on the interests of the UK and the EU anyway. I think the bigger story is the one that governs the "haves" and the "have nots", lotsa countries who are not gonna receive the vaccine any time soon and, in many cases, will not receive it for months n months, if not years!! All about affluence and trying to be "first in the queue" as usual - it looks good and something we can argue about but the needless loss of life will be massive huhhhhh!! And what happens to COVID in a global sense actually does matter to the Brit govt and the EU in the long term anyway.
