Deflecting on 1) shows you're incapable of basic comprehension and your absence of a reply to 4) confirms you were lying which i knew you were.

 

Thanks for that. Now clear off and go and play on Barrys forum as i've had enough of your inane juvenile drivel.

 

Tough titty Comrade :D .........

What is an Ex Remoaner? Do us remoaners not exist anymore or are you implying we no long longer are reomoaners? Are you no longer hoofwankingbunglecant? sorry Brexiteer?

 

Remoaners are now "Ex" because we have left ;-) ........

 

So you are now pointless >:-) ........

 

It's obviously taking a while for that to sink in :D .........

 

But we haven't left have we? We are now in vassal state mode. Nothing has changed apart from us becoming rule takers. "Real Brexit" Does not happen until the end of the year (longer possibly). Of course Covid may make a big difference now as to whether our decision to leave was the right one or not which is why if the government had any sense they would ask for a two year extension. See how it pans out so to speak.

 

If it does go titties up though be rest assured there will be an army of (Not ex) remoaners banging the drum to rejoin.

We are currently in the transition period until the end of December :D ........

 

Seems to me there wont be much trade between us and the EU for the foreseable future........So there won't be much of a queue at the ports on the 1st of January ;-) ........

Only 112 Brits took up the job offers of fruit and veg picking hence the reason they had to fly in plane loads of East Europeans to do the work. Apparently the fruit/veg farms were "too far" for Brits to travel. *-)

So why aren't you slagging of Max's country? ;-) ..........

Or Spain or France?........ie countries that are comparable to ours >:-) ........

I await your MATURE ADULT SENSIBLE reply :D ........

Dave, instead of seeking comfort in shared mediocrity, why not compere the UK to the EU's best? Is this not the sort of example you expect from the UK. I do. From Wiki:

 

"The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic first appeared in Greece on 26 February 2020 when the first COVID-19 case, a 38-year-old woman from Thessaloniki who had recently visited ?orthern Italy, was confirmed. Subsequent cases in late February and early March related to people who had travelled to Italy and a group of pilgrims who had travelled to Israel and Egypt, as well as their contacts. The first death from COVID-19 in Greece was a 66-year-old man, who died on 12 March. As of 3 May 2020, there have been 2,626 confirmed cases and 144 deaths.

 

Following the confirmation of the first three cases in Greece, on 27 February all carnival events in the country were cancelled. Health and state authorities issued precautionary guidelines and recommendations, while measures up to early March were taken locally and included the closure of schools and the suspension of cultural events in the affected areas (particularly Ilia, Achaea and Zakynthos). On 10 March, with 89 confirmed cases and no deaths in the country, the government decided to suspend the operation of educational institutions of all levels nationwide and then, on 13 March, to close down all cafes, bars, museums, shopping centres, sports facilities and restaurants in the country. On 16 March, all retail shops were also closed, two villages in Kozani were quarantined, and all services in all areas of religious worship of any religion or dogma were suspended. On 18 and 19 March, the government announced a series of measures of more than 10 billion euros to support the economy, businesses and employees.

 

On 22 March, the Greek authorities announced restrictions on all non-essential movement throughout the country, starting from 6 a.m on 23 March. Since that date, movement outside the house is permitted only for seven categories of reasons: i) moving to or from one's workplace during work hours, ii) going to the pharmacy or visiting a doctor iii) going to a food store iv) going to the bank for services not possible online, v) assisting a person in need of help vi) going to a major ritual (funeral, marriage, baptism) or movement, for divorced parents, which is essential for contact with their children, and vii) moving outdoors for exercising or taking one's pet out, individually or in pairs. Citizens leaving their homes are required to carry their police ID or passport, as well as a signed attestation in which the purpose or category of travel is stated. The Hellenic Police, the Municipal Police, the Hellenic Coast Guard and the National Transparency Authority are empowered to enforce the restrictions and can issue fines for each offence. On 4 April these restrictions were extended until 27 April and on 23 April they were extended until 4 May.[4]

 

The measures put in place in Greece are among the most proactive and strictest in Europe and have been credited internationally for having slowed the spread of the disease and having kept the number of deaths among the lowest in Europe.

 

Now, that's how to deal with a pandemic. That is what I expect from the UK. Why are you so easily satisfied? I though you were a great patriot, with great faith in what your country has achieved. Go to Greece (yes, nearly bankrupt Greece) thou sluggard, consider her ways, and be wise! :-D

Health and state authorities issued precautionary guidelines and recommendations, while measures up to early March were taken locally and included the closure of schools and the suspension of cultural events in the affected areas (particularly Ilia, Achaea and Zakynthos). On 10 March, with 89 confirmed cases and no deaths in the country, the government decided to suspend the operation of educational institutions of all levels nationwide and then, on 13 March, to close down all cafes, bars, museums, shopping centres, sports facilities and restaurants in the country. On 16 March, all retail shops were also closed, two villages in Kozani were quarantined, and all services in all areas of religious worship of any religion or dogma were suspended. On 18 and 19 March, the government announced a series of measures of more than 10 billion euros to support the economy, businesses and employees.

 

On 22 March, the Greek authorities announced restrictions on all non-essential movement throughout the country, starting from 6 a.m on 23 March. Since that date, movement outside the house is permitted only for seven categories of reasons: i) moving to or from one's workplace during work hours, ii) going to the pharmacy or visiting a doctor iii) going to a food store iv) going to the bank for services not possible online, v) assisting a person in need of help vi) going to a major ritual (funeral, marriage, baptism) or movement, for divorced parents, which is essential for contact with their children, and vii) moving outdoors for exercising or taking one's pet out, individually or in pairs. Citizens leaving their homes are required to carry their police ID or passport, as well as a signed attestation in which the purpose or category of travel is stated. The Hellenic Police, the Municipal Police, the Hellenic Coast Guard and the National Transparency Authority are empowered to enforce the restrictions and can issue fines for each offence. On 4 April these restrictions were extended until 27 April and on 23 April they were extended until 4 May.[4]

 

The measures put in place in Greece are among the most proactive and strictest in Europe and have been credited internationally for having slowed the spread of the disease and having kept the number of deaths among the lowest in Europe.

 

Now, that's how to deal with a pandemic. That is what I expect from the UK. Why are you so easily satisfied? I though you were a great patriot, with great faith in what your country has achieved. Go to Greece (yes, nearly bankrupt Greece) thou sluggard, consider her ways, and be wise! :-D

 

More hindsight tosh *-) .........

We know you have the attention span of a gnat but do try reading for once in your life and learn. Is it really so difficult to bring yourself to agree with Brian that that example was what you would have hoped for from UK?

I await your MATURE ADULT SENSIBLE reply :D ........

Dave, instead of seeking comfort in shared mediocrity, why not compere the UK to the EU's best? Is this not the sort of example you expect from the UK. I do. From Wiki:

 

"The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic first appeared in Greece on 26 February 2020 when the first COVID-19 case, a 38-year-old woman from Thessaloniki who had recently visited ?orthern Italy, was confirmed. Subsequent cases in late February and early March related to people who had travelled to Italy and a group of pilgrims who had travelled to Israel and Egypt, as well as their contacts. The first death from COVID-19 in Greece was a 66-year-old man, who died on 12 March. As of 3 May 2020, there have been 2,626 confirmed cases and 144 deaths.

On 22 March, the Greek authorities announced restrictions on all non-essential movement throughout the country, starting from 6 a.m on 23 March. Since that date, movement outside the house is permitted only for seven categories of reasons: i) moving to or from one's workplace during work hours, ii) going to the pharmacy or visiting a doctor iii) going to a food store iv) going to the bank for services not possible online, v) assisting a person in need of help vi) going to a major ritual (funeral, marriage, baptism) or movement, for divorced parents, which is essential for contact with their children, and vii) moving outdoors for exercising or taking one's pet out, individually or in pairs.

Seeing as its becoming obvious that every country is using a different method to count their COVID19 deaths ;-) ..........

 

Only a brain dead muppet would try to use those figures to bolster their argument 8-) .......

 

So which one are you? :-S ........

 

I'm guessing Statler coz Brian looks like Waldorf (lol) (lol) (lol) .........

So why aren't you slagging of Max's country? ;-) ..........

Or Spain or France?........ie countries that are comparable to ours >:-) ........

Was our NHS overwhelmed like they were in Italy and Spain? :-| ........

I await your MATURE ADULT SENSIBLE reply :D ........

Dave, instead of seeking comfort in shared mediocrity, why not compere the UK to the EU's best? Is this not the sort of example you expect from the UK. I do. From Wiki:

 

"The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic first appeared in Greece on 26 February 2020 when the first COVID-19 case, a 38-year-old woman from Thessaloniki who had recently visited ?orthern Italy, was confirmed. Subsequent cases in late February and early March related to people who had travelled to Italy and a group of pilgrims who had travelled to Israel and Egypt, as well as their contacts. The first death from COVID-19 in Greece was a 66-year-old man, who died on 12 March. As of 3 May 2020, there have been 2,626 confirmed cases and 144 deaths.

 

Following the confirmation of the first three cases in Greece, on 27 February all carnival events in the country were cancelled. Health and state authorities issued precautionary guidelines and recommendations, while measures up to early March were taken locally and included the closure of schools and the suspension of cultural events in the affected areas (particularly Ilia, Achaea and Zakynthos). On 10 March, with 89 confirmed cases and no deaths in the country, the government decided to suspend the operation of educational institutions of all levels nationwide and then, on 13 March, to close down all cafes, bars, museums, shopping centres, sports facilities and restaurants in the country. On 16 March, all retail shops were also closed, two villages in Kozani were quarantined, and all services in all areas of religious worship of any religion or dogma were suspended. On 18 and 19 March, the government announced a series of measures of more than 10 billion euros to support the economy, businesses and employees.

 

On 22 March, the Greek authorities announced restrictions on all non-essential movement throughout the country, starting from 6 a.m on 23 March. Since that date, movement outside the house is permitted only for seven categories of reasons: i) moving to or from one's workplace during work hours, ii) going to the pharmacy or visiting a doctor iii) going to a food store iv) going to the bank for services not possible online, v) assisting a person in need of help vi) going to a major ritual (funeral, marriage, baptism) or movement, for divorced parents, which is essential for contact with their children, and vii) moving outdoors for exercising or taking one's pet out, individually or in pairs. Citizens leaving their homes are required to carry their police ID or passport, as well as a signed attestation in which the purpose or category of travel is stated. The Hellenic Police, the Municipal Police, the Hellenic Coast Guard and the National Transparency Authority are empowered to enforce the restrictions and can issue fines for each offence. On 4 April these restrictions were extended until 27 April and on 23 April they were extended until 4 May.[4]

 

The measures put in place in Greece are among the most proactive and strictest in Europe and have been credited internationally for having slowed the spread of the disease and having kept the number of deaths among the lowest in Europe.

 

Now, that's how to deal with a pandemic. That is what I expect from the UK. Why are you so easily satisfied? I though you were a great patriot, with great faith in what your country has achieved. Go to Greece (yes, nearly bankrupt Greece) thou sluggard, consider her ways, and be wise! :-D

 

More hindsight tosh *-) .........

We know you have the attention span of a gnat but do try reading for once in your life and learn. Is it really so difficult to bring yourself to agree with Brian that that example was what you would have hoped for from UK?

 

Seeing as its becoming obvious that every country is using a different method to count their COVID19 deaths ;-) ..........

I'm talking about the early and strict measures Greece took.......but you knew that didn't you?

 

So?..........

Is that seriously the best you can muster? I'll remind you once again of what Brian put to you when quoting the actions Greece took.

 

"Is this not the sort of example you expect from the UK?"

 

Try again with a more logical reply.

 

So?........

 

Yet again you ignore a inconvenient fact that Belgium currently has the worst COVID19 death rate in the EU 8-) .........

 

Why is that?.......As if we didn't know *-) ..........

Thats per 1000 infection cases you dummy. Their death total is 7,703 whilst UK is 28,466 the second highest death toll in Europe and third highest in the world.

 

Now, have the decency to ANSWER Brians question regarding the actions Greece took;

 

"Is this not the sort of example you expect from the UK?"

 

The reply is very simple. Either you agree UK should have followed their example over strict measures and early lockdown, or you disagree. Which is it?
