I’m not pro EU btw just saying  | |||

"France has 900000 does of AZ vaccine, that the Goverment doesn't want to release. Something of a blame game going on there. " I do think so! After all have the U.K. had any blood clot problems ? It was said that it was connected to one batch of a million doses “I could be wrong” And we don’t know how that batch was shipped or stored until it’s investigated and we do know that there has been at least one case of deliberate spoiling that was caught before it got administered. | |||

"Brussels on its knees? Not yet but to be fair it hasn't covered itself in glory on this one. However the main thing you miss in the UK is the real reason for all these shenanigans. Brussels has screwed up big time and they know it. Now it's all about deflecting blame. They really don't give a shit about anything that is written in the UK press. The average German, Frenchman Etc will never read it. It's all about controlling the narrative here on the continent. With only one or two exceptions the German media (especially broadcast media) are much more subservient to Brussels and will headline whichever story suits their narrative. At the moment it's British bad, Astra Zenica bad. Fucking the EU by hoarding and refusing to export vaccines. The fact that it is completely untrue is never mentioned. Also never mentioned is that the real reason for the fuck up was the bickering between Germany and France over how many of the German/American Pfizer BoiNTech and the French Sanofi vaccines should be ordered. French pride won the day resulting in the EU disastrously ordering roughly equal amounts of both. Irrespective of the fact that the Sanofi vaccine was way behind Pfizer and would never have been ready in time. As it turned out the Sanofi one was a disaster and is still many months away from readiness, if ever at all. Does your average German know that? Not a hope in hell, the vast majority here have never heard of Sanofi. But they all know Britain bad, Astra Zenica bad. Oh! and those pesky Aussies trying to nick our jabs." Really interesting to read how things are being portrayed by the media on the continent from someone who is on the ground out there. | |||

"Interesting perspective as always... The EU Population is 448m people and they have had 562,000 deaths. The UK Population is 67m people and we have had 125,000 deaths (official) If our death rate was the same as the EU’s, we would have more than 40,000 people alive now...! If the EU are doing badly, then how rubbish is our Govt? I’m tempted to mention S Korea, but ‘apparently’ they are more maleable than Brits, so their 2,000 deaths and 52m are not comparable "We've done crap, clearly, never said otherwise. And in due course the scientists will tell us whether that was mainly government failings or the inability of so many of our population to follow the fucking rules. Doesn't change the avoidable scandal of petty Brussels based nationalism which is now leading to a higher death rate than us. | |||

"There was a very informative post further up that was posted by someone actually on the ground so to speak in Germany, but most people just seemed to have ignored it and carried on with the fantasy section bollocks. Its seems impossible to have a reasonable ADULT debate nowadays on this forum unfortunately." There was indeed, but it's the sort of thing that makes remainers heads spin, so they'd rather not engage. | |||

The UK Population is 67m people and we have had 125,000 deaths (official) If our death rate was the same as the EU’s, we would have more than 40,000 people alive now...! If the EU are doing badly, then how rubbish is our Govt? I’m tempted to mention S Korea, but ‘apparently’ they are more maleable than Brits, so their 2,000 deaths and 52m are not comparable
We've done crap, clearly, never said otherwise. And in due course the scientists will tell us whether that was mainly government failings or the inability of so many of our population to follow the fucking rules.
Doesn't change the avoidable scandal of petty Brussels based nationalism which is now leading to a higher death rate than us.
"...they would have to lose another 274,000 people to be as bad as us.... | |||

At the moment it's British bad, Astra Zenica bad. Fucking the EU by hoarding and refusing to export vaccines. The fact that it is completely untrue is never mentioned. Also never mentioned is that the real reason for the fuck up was the bickering between Germany and France over how many of the German/American Pfizer BoiNTech and the French Sanofi vaccines should be ordered. French pride won the day resulting in the EU disastrously ordering roughly equal amounts of both. Irrespective of the fact that the Sanofi vaccine was way behind Pfizer and would never have been ready in time. As it turned out the Sanofi one was a disaster and is still many months away from readiness, if ever at all. Does your average German know that? Not a hope in hell, the vast majority here have never heard of Sanofi. But they all know Britain bad, Astra Zenica bad. Oh! and those pesky Aussies trying to nick our jabs. Don’t want to be pedantic but my Astra Zeneca jab came from the Netherlands I might be wrong but I think they are still in the EU! did they tell you that when you had it? I was last of the day and the elderly retired doctor chatted about it but it was also on my notes given as advice on side effects etc. Check your own notes when you have it. It’s clearly there.

The glee with brexiteers jump on this is quite sickening to be honest (see we told you so) In the uk the vaccine roll out has been a success but the previous 12 months have been borderline criminal. There has been much talk here of the lpool v atheletico match which the gmnt allowed to go ahead, which led directly to people dying. There are countless other examples.

You did it again. Your shutting it down by accusing people who speak up about the horrendous death rate of "revelling" in it. Just to be clear. Even if we're up or down a few % here or there from some statistics wrangling. The death rate is still unacceptable.

One of the problems with this view is that Covid deaths are not counted in the same way. If the UK had counted Covid deaths in some of ‘their’ ways, our figures would have been substantially lower.
Some of the more ‘true’ figures can be seen at the below link, although most of the figures are only up to the end of December 2020. As you will see, a lot of countries have a substantial difference between the Covid deaths and the excess deaths, suggesting that the Covid deaths are understated and in some instances, vastly understated.

Dont tell them that, the government bashers who seem to revel in uk deaths wont like the truth.
Blimey, so we have to fall in line, stop critisims of the government policies or else were people who "revel in UK deaths".
Fairly fucking harsh.
Apparently we cant compare ourselves to other countries now.

In fairness. You do spend a lot of time here shutting down anyone who questions the government or brexit in anyway.
So much so that you just accused people who speak out about the appalling number of UK deaths, as people who "revel in the UK deaths".
It's a bizarre twist of logic.

There. You did it again.
Your shutting it down by accusing people who speak up about the horrendous death rate of "revelling" in it.
Just to be clear. Even if we're up or down a few % here or there from some statistics wrangling. The death rate is still unacceptable. And the government have played their part by prioritising handing billions to their mates, faffing about ignoring scientific advice etc.

Some of the more ‘true’ figures can be seen at the below link, although most of the figures are only up to the end of December 2020. As you will see, a lot of countries have a substantial difference between the Covid deaths and the excess deaths, suggesting that the Covid deaths are understated and in some instances, vastly understated.

Dont tell them that, the government bashers who seem to revel in uk deaths wont like the truth.
Blimey, so we have to fall in line, stop critisims of the government policies or else were people who "revel in UK deaths".
Fairly fucking harsh.
Apparently we cant compare ourselves to other countries now.
But it was ok when boris used to do it on a daily basis.

If only you had the ability to read and understand the posts that others make!Seems that some cant the hatred is too imbedded and fail to see the facts when presented to them.They would rather claim you are just trying to shut them down.
In fairness. You do spend a lot of time here shutting down anyone who questions the government or brexit in anyway.
So much so that you just accused people who speak out about the appalling number of UK deaths, as people who "revel in the UK deaths".
It's a bizarre twist of logic. But I suppose if you're determined to defend the government no matter how many billions of public money they hand to their mates, no matter how many people die on their watch, no matter how much scientific advice they ignore, then you need to twist your thinking in this way. How do i try and shut them down exactly? is pointing out that different countries count the deaths in different ways shutting them down.No its a statement that is open for discussion yet no one wants to discuss it because it doesn't reflect what they believe,the only conclussion i can draw from that is they are reveling in the figures.
There. You did it again.
Your shutting it down by accusing people who speak up about the horrendous death rate of "revelling" in it.
Just to be clear. Even if we're up or down a few % here or there from some statistics wrangling. The death rate is still unacceptable. And the government have played their part by prioritising handing billions to their mates, faffing about ignoring scientific advice etc.
Failing to address these and other issues by distracting everyone with the "Mongolia count their deaths differently" is all part of the narrative to shut down any critisim of the governments reaction to the pandemic.
I don't think pointing to the data available is trying to 'shut down'.
Although, if people refuse to look at and analyse the data whilst still shouting 'our government are terrible' then what other discussion is to be had?
I've said it from the start but the best like for like comparison we can possibly hope for is excess deaths per capita. Whilst we haven't been great by any means, we certainly haven't been as poor as some would like to believe when you look at others figures.
Pointing at the data isn't the part that's shutting people down. It's the accusing people of revelling in the death, that's shutting down any critisim.
Is there a threshold for the number of dead people that we need to reach before we're allowed to question the governments approach?
Of course there isnt a hard and fast number. That would be crass at best.
I don't know why the poster said that people are revelling in our figures but I can hazard a guess it's because of the refusal to look at the best data we have (imo) and compare it.

If they had done it our way, they would have had 274,000 more deaths, if we had done it there way, we would have had 40,000 less deaths. A sobering thought So how do you work that one out? i interested.
Posted further up this thread, but just for you...
“Interesting perspective as always...
The EU Population is 448m people and they have had 562,000 deaths.
The UK Population is 67m people and we have had 125,000 deaths (official)
If our death rate was the same as the EU’s, we would have more than 40,000 people alive now...!
If the EU are doing badly, then how rubbish is our Govt?
I’m tempted to mention S Korea, but ‘apparently’ they are more maleable than Brits, so their 2,000 deaths and 52m are not comparable “did you read anything about S korea and why their numbers are so low, would you like to discuss the reasons?.Yes that is very impressive you can do maths and oh so simple but does not give you a true figure on how well different governments have done does it.Have you for instance taken into account any of the following factors? the average age of the population, the % of bame ,the density of population,the uk variant in europe for example all these contribute to higher death rates.I look forward to your breakdown and results instead of the simplistic view you hold now."As usual, when presented with facts all you can do is ignore them and try to put up a fog. Britain has done worse than the EU has on keeping deaths down. I’m not proud that I am right here, I’d much prefer it to have been different. But if you vote in fools, then you get these outcomes. | |||

"While Europe dithers the uk is expecting to deliver 4 million jabs this week nearly double the recent weekly total. All due to 4 million shots which have arrived from India and passed tests.This could put the uk another 2 weeks ahead of schedule an amazing achievment. "Just when you thought Brussels couldn't do any worse they are now 1) Scaremongering about Oxford to deflect their utter failure 2) On their knees grovelling to Russia for Sputnik vaccine People are dying, all main European countries have a 7 day rolling average above 200 deaths and going up. So, so grim. | |||
