As expected he's fucking off and leaving everyone else to pick up the pieces in January. But it does look like he was eventually shown the door and left with a cardboard box. As he should have been months ago.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with Johnson needing an image change, like the shape shifting creep he is, to one that fits more with the incoming Biden Administration. In other words hes got some serious sucking up to do...

... Meanwhile in Brexit land we are going into yet another final week of talks.

Many expect Cummings departure to signal 'the cave in'. The Eu say we havent moved enough and the uk say the EU wants us to do all the moving... Except the EU have done lots of moving. Barnier is still looking for a groundsman to level his field to play. We have yet to work out we aren't Canada and distance is important to trade.

Of course if we don't get a deal, that Pfizer vaccine in Germany that we want, might be hit with delays and extra costs we just can't afford.

Does she have an advisor who drove the length of the country

She has a boss who did exactly that - driving 5/6 hours from Belgium to Germany when she should have been self-isolating in Belgium.

I'm surprised you haven't heard of Margarethe Vestager - she's quite a well known figure at the European Commission.

This is not the COVID board.

So why did you post this an hour ago?

"and Hancock is still talking about massive centralised testing labs when small decentralised has been shown to work."

🐿 Saturn's moon Enceladus has an atmosphere composed mostly of water vapour. Therefore, we are to conclude that ToryBrexitannianNationalPlague leadership are doing an amazing job compared to the 7-legged gelatinous methanophiles living on that icy moon. 🐿

Not the question I asked Clavinova. Von der Leyen might have been in contact with Covid and bunked off to Germany, but which politician allowed her to hold court in the German equivalent of the Downing Street rose garden? Contrast that with Cummings, who according to his wife was at death's door with Covid, according to her rather silly Spectator article, but still had the Tories lining up to make excuses for him. Those same Tories that are now going to have to start admitting that yes, it was a mistake to back Cummings.

Not the same at all but yes, I am sure that squirrels will be able to catch covid.

Funnily enough, speaking of naming things, I see there are some monumental artworks being installed along the Antonine Wall that are crying out for names.

(Google Nethercroy Sculpture naming suggestion )

It's quite handy having Clavinova's contributions because the way some of what they post is taken apart is very interesting.

"19 October - EU does no contact tracing after ministers test positive for coronavirus." ...

"Council says it received no formal notification of cases but Austria says Brussels was told."

"The absence of any further inquiry by the Council raised questions about the EU’s protocols for dealing with potential outbreaks. And the Council’s assertion that it received no notice was apparently contradicted by Austria’s Foreign Ministry, which said it immediately informed the EU and other EU ministers and delegations that might have been put at risk."

Clav
I mentioned Matt Hancock because he seems determined to make political decisions which are bad for the UK on all aspects of health.
Part of the problem at Felixstowe is caused by the stockpile of PPE which was ordered by Hancock's chums, without reference to local hospitals and does not meet their needs.
Such a centralised cloth eared top down approach
is why Brexit stockpiling is such an issue.

Clavinova · 16/11/2020 14:04

Von der Leyen might have been in contact with Covid and bunked off to Germany

When was she held to account? "Chums" in high places?

Clavinova · 16/11/2020 14:20

Part of the problem at Felixstowe is caused by the stockpile of PPE

Some good news on that just in;
"16 Nov - Containers are now being moved to other places in the region–including former air bases and vacant land–while extra trains carrying containers full of the equipment were sent out of the region to allow it to be taken on to NHS distribution centres."

ListeningQuietly · 16/11/2020 14:25

Are there many hospitals on Suffolk airfields ? Wink Grin

If the UK was not still trying so hard to shoot itself in the foot in 44 days time there would be no need for stockpiles

🐿 The exoplanet Proxima b is orbiting within the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, a mere 4.2 light years from our Sun. Unfortunately, this promisingly Earthlike planet is subject to stellar wind pressures of more than 2,000 times those experienced by Earth from our solar wind, which would likely blow any atmosphere away. However, these stellar winds are themselves dwarfed by the prodigious farts of the faithful adherents of ToryBrexitannianNationalPlague, in what generally passes for their discourse. 🐿

It is PPE and also testing kits – but now we are producing 70% of the kit we need in this country but we did need to order some from abroad.

'some' Grin

And all in high-security, temperature-controlled storage like this: www.eadt.co.uk/news/ppe-moved-to-suffolk-airfields-1-6931841?jwsource=cl

ListeningQuietly · 16/11/2020 15:19

Ah so its the PPE that was ordered in error and will NEVER be needed
even more evidence of utter incompetence by the Government.

Makes me wonder what they have in their Brexit stockpile Wink

Whenwillow · 16/11/2020 15:29

I had to Google that, DGR because I'm not as clever as you, but yes exactly.
