A thank you to Brexiteers.

In what ways is it 'comparable' for smaller bands - apart from the actual physical act of playing gigs? And if the experiences are so comparable, why do you think so few smaller bands who regularly play Europe ever get to tour the US?
if you look again at my post you'll see i expressly said i didn't think that touring the usa is equivalent to touring within the eu. nonetheless here you are wafting on again about equivalencies.
 
You can just post up 3 or 4 things, if you like. So what have you got?

Have a couple more than 3 or 4, but my dinner's getting cold:

We got rid of pig fucker and his poodle and they took their austerity with them.

All vulnerable people who want one have had a vaccine which stops them from being dead – it’s a repeat, but a real crowd pleaser among those who like being alive.

We're no longer part of a supra-national state that has a judiciary, parliament, an executive, an economic policy, a currency, a foreign and defence policy and a diplomatic service.

Live animal exports are no longer a thing.

We now allow equal access to residency in the UK to people from non-European nations as we do to those from European nations (except Ireland, of course).

A united Ireland looks an odds-on certainty.

The UK will not be drawn in to being part of a Euro military calamity force.

Now get ready to be told that these aren’t benefits, or if they are they’re outweighed by more expensive widgets from Germany.

Johnson was part of those governments and also the vote leave lot have been explicit about brexit being an opportunity for striping away protections.
They even gave nurses a whole 1% pay rise - that wasn’t on the side of the bus, was it.?
 
This does look nuts. The EU has sent 21million doses to the UK. I think the UK has sent them none.
Hope I dont get one of those euro ones when it’s my go.

Remember when they say "the EU has sent X doses to the UK" that doesn't mean that the EU themselves have sent them like they were doing us a favour, as the EU rhetoric likes to imply. It means that companies who have contracted to send the UK vaccine doses but happen to have manufacturing facilities in the EU have simply honoured their contractual obligations.

I know. Don’t think the Eu is going around boasting to member states that they’re involved in sending doses over here, quite the opposite.

And when Ursula says the U.K. has sent nothing, she means nothing but the key ingredient that Pfizer needs to make their vaccine.

Misleading headline, 'the bloc' hasn't sent the UK any vaccines, according to that article Pfizer has sent us 20m doses in accordance with the contract they had signed, and the EU doesn't seem to have a problem with Pfizer over their supplies to the EU.

The EU has fucked-up, and are now acting like kids throwing their toys out of the pram.

Not only are we no longer part, there were elements of Leave, I think, were hoping our departure would bring the whole edifice down...We got out without doing that. As not right as the EU is, its not SO pernicious the UK could have only been seen as arseholes for doing so. As is, the camel lumbers on. Other straw, such as the economic reforms COVID demand can be piled on. Nothing to do with us guv
 
Well, they kind of do though.
This arguments no good for me, bit personal with the folks over there still waiting for a letter in May.

They have fucked-up, they have a particular contractual problem with AstraZeneca, that's their problem, not ours.

It certainly doesn't give them any rights to interfere in the contract between the UK and Pfizer, especially when the UK is supplying ingredients required by Pfizer to produce it for the UK, EU & beyond.

Sorry to hear your folk are left waiting because of this. :(
 
The government took a gamble with the vaccines and got lucky. It has very little to Brexit no matter how much you want it to be true.

Before we swiftly try and change the subject I'd like to quote you the words of the President of the European Commission

“I am aware that alone a country can be a speedboat, while the EU is more like a tanker” .

“Before concluding a contract with a pharmaceutical company, the 27 member states had five full days to say whether they agreed or not.

“This naturally delays the process.

Ursula von der Leyen
 
Certainly been no shortage of comically clueless people offering opinions on how my career as a musician hasn't supposedly been negatively impacted, or hoe touring the US is somehow comparable to playing Europe.

Reminds me of Sparks's Suburban Homeboy

I am a suburban homeboy and I say yo dog to my pool cleaning guy '
