      Always would

      I'm not ashamed how I voted. And yet, I rarely meet anyone who admits to voting out unless they have the anonymity of a forum like this.

        The point I was making was that the horse has bolted. By the time they have translated whatever guff they think everyone else should be doing into twenty different languages, the horse will be halfway to the moon. The only country taking swift and decisive action is Switzerland. And they're not in the EU. Go figure.
        Bottom line, the EWRS didn't work, because the first we heard of a virus hot-spot in Italy was on Sky News, not because some under-worked person in Brussels, who only has one job to do, once every decade or so, failed.

          That's all extremely debatable, but it's a redundant analysis anyway; no 10 is not refusing to sign up because of some critique of the system, but because it breaches red lines. Anything vaguely connected with Euro is banned, as the gammonate clamour for their daily portion of red meat.

              The asinine stupidity of it isn’t even shocking any more.

                No 10 is refusing to sign up because it's a pile of wank. Period. It didn't work before, it won't work in the future, and it will always be a pile of wank. It's a bit like paying for insurance against being abducted by aliens. You can buy it if you want, but everyone will think you're an absolute arse.

                  You are so gullible. Go on, try to find the same document on the WHO site and not just some gammon magnet fake site

                  Glad to see Mordac and Platypus liked the post ... seems you're not the only gullible idiot at least

                      You think I'm an arse. You may think you speak for everyone, but let's face it mate, you don't. I admire your ambition though. Crack on, you'll get somewhere someday...
