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.Last edited by Whorty; 2 March 2020, 15:53.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Originally posted by zerosum View PostRight. The EU-wide pandemic warning system is the reason why one member state was particularly afflicted, and opposing it on ideological grounds is all to the good.
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.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

Originally posted by Mordac View PostThe point I was making was that the horse has bolted.

The only country taking swift and decisive action is Switzerland. And they're not in the EU. Go figure.

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

Originally posted by zerosum View PostThat'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.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

Glad to see Mordac and Platypus liked the post ... seems you're not the only gullible idiot at leastLast edited by Whorty; 3 March 2020, 22:50.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Originally posted by Mordac View PostNo 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.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment
