Did Brexit lead to the UK’s vaccine success?

Today the United Kingdom became the first country in the West to clinically authorise a vaccine protecting against Covid-19, after the medicines regulator, the MHRA, said the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was safe to use. The announcement puts Britain ahead of Europe when it comes to rolling out the...

Haha! Priceless that.

"absolutely nowt to do with Brexit, but we need to pretend it does somehow or the bosses will give us a bollocking"

The Brexit/vaccine thing is just a blatant lie. It's only interesting in that they felt able to get away with it, and that there are plenty who want to believe it.
 
Good news from Greater Manchester. Cases down on yesterday. By 20 to 632. Will mean the % of NW is much the same as the 46% yesterday as NW cases were down 32 on the day.

London is the increasing problem.

Much as I would rather we stay there up to Christmas I really do not see how it can be justified that they and Merseyside are tier 2 and Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham get a crowd this weekend and GM is tier 3 and so City do not. Not to mention the clubs in the lower leagues that really need that boost.

They can let West Ham off though.

Good. I said it before at this tier nonsense got mentioned that if my area was in tier 3, but had comparable number of cases per 100,000 people as a place in tier 2, then I’m making a judgment based on this to act like I’m in tier 2. Sure enough this happened (I’m in Stockport), so I’m going to drive 2 miles down the road to Cheshire and have a meal and drink.
 
Just on the news pictures of the vaccine arriving really clever to show the carrier being used

You are in tier three and you want to go into a tier two ? This kind of twatty things is why it spreads

It's hardly a "crowd" though, I'd call it a "smattering" at 2000 at the top clubs, and it'll cost them more than they get for the gate receipts.

I saw an interview with the chairman of Cambridge United the other day, and by allowing in 2000 fans, he said it was increasing the burden on the club financially, because they needed more stewards than normal to keep fans "distanced", so I don't see how it even helps lower league clubs.

My own personal opinion is that if some clubs can't have fans there, then no clubs should have fans there, even though 2000 (or even 4000) will make little or no significant difference. There shouldn't be different conditions for one team against another in the same competition.

No it’s not, my area has less cases than tier 2 places. I’m just following the rules that have been set in other places. I live 2 miles from tier 2, hardly the reason why it spreads.

This is how it spreads and you think this is good behaviour, really?

Is having a meal and a pint or two that fucking important you want to risk others?
