Except, in the case of Brexit, the captain and senior crew will be safe...... it's the passengers who have no chance. But at least they have their sovereignty :roll:

it would be good to find some positive news stories to balance the thread. I have yet to see any, although i admit I could be blinkered.

Whether here or on a national stage, supporters of Brexit have been rather quiet about all the marvellous benefits from it.

It's certainly true that the UK government have been much more adept at purchasing vaccines than the European Commission. Who knows how would that have played out if the UK was still an EU member. Vaccine delivery is a national competence and not related to membership of the EU.

Don't forget that the UK is now in a position where the EU is a HUGE competitor.

The govt left themselves with no option, other than to take a massive, desperate gamble on purchasing vaccines that were still under development.

If the EU had got in first, the UK would have had to look further afield for a supply, such as Russia, China and the USA. All of which have their own problems.

Amsterdam ousts London as Europe’s top share trading hub
Amsterdam surpassed London as Europe’s largest share trading centre last month as the Netherlands scooped up business lost by the UK since Brexit.

An average €9.2bn shares a day were traded on Euronext Amsterdam and the Dutch arms of CBOE Europe and Turquoise in January, a more than fourfold increase from December. The surge came as volumes in London fell sharply to €8.6bn, dislodging the UK from its historic position as the main hub for the European market, according to data from CBOE Europe.

The current disastrous consequences of Brexit are the high-point of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement; it's downhill from here...
EU has been moderate in its response to HMG misrepresentations & accusations so far, but a fight back is likely if it continues. Moderate EU capitals & voices are becoming a minority. If we think last 8 weeks have been bad, wait until escalation is pushed from BOTH sides

However, this is working well for the Tory party...
Brexit is a machine to generate perpetual grievance. It's doing its job perfectly
There is no defence of Johnson’s deal if the ambition was serious advancement of the national interest. But there is another test. It is the one that matters most to the architects of Brexit, although they never admit it, even to themselves.

For the true believers, a good Brexit is one that keeps the grievance alive; that makes foreigners the scapegoat for bad government; that continues to indulge the twin national myths of victimhood and heroic defiance. Measured for that purpose, Johnson’s pointless Brexit is perfect.
