Brexit 'do or die'

It seems Boris really was serious when he said this.

Why won't he collaborate with the EU during this crisis?
He won't take part in the EU medical equipment procurement scheme.
Won't allow us to join the EU health ministers daily conference call.
Withdraw us from the pandemic early warning system.
Won't let us take part in the EU medicines agency thing that could get medicines and vaccines to us faster and cheaper.

I've heard the Gov wants nothing to do with any of the above incase it weakens our negotiating position regarding Brexit.

He's a negligent idiot who isn't fit to lead a scout troop!

Brexit is what the people wanted. They can’t have it both ways. Maybe now they’ll see it was a stupid decision.

I don't think they will and I don't think they'd agree that voting for Brexit or Boris was a stupid decision. The scales fell from my eyes a while ago on this. I used to think Brexit voters didn't really understand what they voted for (in fairness, how could they) and when more consequences came to light they would change their minds. I don't believe that now. I don't think there is anything that would turn people away from Brexit. I'm sure Leave/Tory voters would support Boris on his stance wanting nothing to do with the EU (Cummings is know for doing extensive polling) even if it disadvantaged us in the fight against coronavirus.

Supporters see Brexit as an event that is over and done with, or will by by Dec 31. (Spoiler Alert: Extension.)

They do not understand that it is a process which will take decades of economic readjustment.

But "Do or Die" turns out to be literally true.

So (known liar) BJ now claims he missed the email despite saying previously they didn't want anything to do with the EU ventilator scheme because we weren't in the EU. More like he wanted to give the contract to big Tory donor Dyson, doesn't matter if it might take longer and cost more, nevermind the fact Dyson is designed his own rather that going with designs already approved by regulators and known to work.
