My roses haven't bloomed - bloody Brexit!
One of my kids has trodden in dog shit - bloody brexit!
It's raining - bloody brexit!
Artaxerxes the government's long anticipated Integrated Review is out tomorrow - its a (should be) plan for the UK's foreign, trade, diplomatic, development and defence policies and how they should support each other in pursuit of whatever wider objectives the UK sets itself. It will be that that has determined that VSO should take a hit.
It's probably going to be a rather nuanced document, and the departmental reviews that follow it - a week later for Defence - will likely see some chopping and changing of priorities.

Well it often is. The point being that everything that hysterical, sub-6th form standard, twonk of a Guardian reporter has guffed-up there has been covered in this and the other threads here in spades. But, it'll give you lot something to get splenetic about so I suppose it's not completely wasted.

Fewer than 40 people with blood clots after getting the jab out of 17,000,000 people, fuck knows what they’re playing at.

No. That seems to be something completely different. On the currently available evidence it actually looks like some kind of weird smear on AstraZeneca but by whom and why is unclear at the moment.

Which is significantly lower than the number of thrombotic events that would be expected to be seen in an unvaccinated group of that size.
All very strange.

I think they (EU member states) have simply lost confidence in their own vaccination system - it's all gone tits up, they are looking askance at what's happening elsewhere, and they've simply lost confidence in both the specific vaccine and the whole concept that a vaccine will come along, get dished out and all will be back to happyland - and you know what it's like when you lose confidence in a piece of machinery? Every squeak or wobble sounds and feels like a catastrophic failure is seconds away, you flinch at every pothole, you sweat like a pig as the car races up the slip road to join the motorway.
That's it, there's nothing wrong with the AZ, or any other vaccine (still wouldn't have the Russian one though...), but they've simply lost confidence in it, and no one wants to be holding the baby when the next thing goes wrong - and that's the problem, they have convinced themselves that it will go wrong.

First you moan about 'remoaners' quoting the Guardian all the time, and now this. So I checked the Guardian's take on the AZ scare, and they give this comment piece highest prominence on their front page.

Anyway good news is that Portugal are still using AZ which they don't have much of that and less of anything else. I'm apparently now registered in the queue for phase two which will commence end of May. I was offered vaccination in the UK a month ago.

Remain/rejoin has become a cult - it's gone far beyond a question of whether the UK should be a member of the EU (and there are very good arguments for it to be), it's an identity, it's a flag for virtue signalling, it's about hectoring.
It's not an attractive look.
