Your saying well done to the EU for being forced to back down on their Cartelesque attempt to undermine the GFA and prevent UK getting vaccines they have bought.

Yeah my application is still going ahead but I caught covid a month ago and I still aint feeling right haven't maintained my fitness for obvious reasons and struggling to get back into it but it will go ahead when possible its slowed down naturally anyway since the new lockdown im on final medical stage but getting difficulty releasing my documents from GP to capita.

Cheers mate yeah its a pain in the arse I only applied September time so 6 months in applications usually take about 9 months so it is what it is.

I think you are being a tad harsh here. Let's be honest, it's a Friday and VDL has not had a good week. Probably hit the old vino a tad hard at lunch and just made a simple, honest mistake in imposing a hard border in Southern Ireland without actually telling the Irish Government
about it. A simple error. Happens all the time and we should not be too harsh on her. Personally, I hope we can all move on and that she gets to keep her job. I genuinely see no need for her to resign over such an easily made mistake. Not even a mistake really. A tiny error, almost minuscule and hyped up beyond all belief. All made better now.

Also I am becoming a little alarmed about all the grief Macron is getting around his claims concerning the efficiency of the vaccine on the over 65's. I suspect that few of us have as much experience as Mons.M in knowing what is good for an over 65-year-old.

Watching femi back up the EU for the NI border incident and blame it on the UK is funny the man is seriously delusional and I'm genuinely worried about his mental health. Stockholm syndrome if I've ever seen it.

100%. Even read of Irish people thanking the EU because they believe it was done by way of trying to protect them.

Whatever else people might think of the EU as an institution, how on earth can anybody still think this dreadful VDL woman should still be in post?

Don't get me wrong, I would hate for her to have to stand down and wish nothing more for her to carry on leading the EU for years and years to come but when will Remoamer types wake up to the fact that nobody ever cast a ballot for her to be doing that job? Is that really the s***-show they think we would be better off under?
