Brussels’ refusal to grant UK financial services access to the single market will force Britain to diverge from EU rules after Brexit, industry sources have warned. The European Commission has no immediate plans to grant British firms in 28 sectors market access through a system of regulatory recognition called “equivalence”, Brussels insiders confirmed. EU officials said Brussels would not grant equivalence to UK firms unless the Government explained how far it planned to diverge from EU rules in the future. The Government is extremely disappointed at the EU’s failure to reciprocate after it granted equivalence to 28 areas of business such as EU investment firms, exchanges and credit rating agencies in November.""
Brussels hates being defied so it makes things difficult for Britain. Why not lower Corporation Tax, Boris ??

The UK is going in partnership with the Swiss to handle financial matters, this will be a blow to the EU who have been touting for Paris and Frankfurt to be the European financial hubs. The Moneymen complain that the EU is far too invasive, "they want to know everything you are doing", one guy said and it is suspected that Burocrats in EU HQ pass on infomation gleaned to their buddies and relatives so they can make money on stock markets. The Swiss are discreet and have built a solid reputation upon their discretion, it will be interesting to see if any other money markets join the UK/Swiss axis ?

The Horseaters cocked up on Covid vaccine supplies and are now scrambling around for vaccines, Hungary are buying the Russian Sputnik vaccine which seems to work very well indeed. The UK is building a Vaccine production plant in the north east and that is a very good thing ! Under the fool Obama he let Vaccine production in the USA be cancelled and all moved to third world countries to save a few dollars. Give Donald Trump Credit for agitating to being Vaccine Production back to the USA !!

Give Donald Trump Credit for agitating to being Vaccine Production back to the USA !! 'Gross misjudgment': Experts say Trump's decision to disband pandemic team hindered coronavirus response DEIRDRE SHESGREEN | USA TODAY | 10:18 am EDT March 18, 2020 An epidemiologist answers the biggest questions she's getting about coronavirus. USA TODAY, WOCHIT WASHINGTON—In May 2018, President Donald Trump’s biodefense preparedness adviser warned that a flu pandemic was the country’s No. 1 health security threat, and the U.S. was not prepared. “We know that it cannot be stopped at the border,” Luciana Borio, director of medical and biodefense preparedness at the National Security Council, said at a symposium that day. Borio left the Trump administration in 2019. Other high-level global health experts headed for the exits even earlier, after the White House dismantled the National Security Council’s global health security office. The demise of that elite team is now under scrutiny as the Trump administration struggles to respond to the coronavirus pandemic. Trump bristled when asked about his decision to disband the office at a news conference in the Rose Garden on Friday. “I just think it's a nasty question,” the president responded. “And when you say ‘me,' I didn't do it. ... I don't know anything about it.”

But people who have had the Vaccine were well spaced out after their jab. Just saying.

Washington Post: Top White House official in charge of pandemic response exits abruptly “The top White House official responsible for leading the U.S. response in the event of a deadly pandemic has left the administration, and the global health security team he oversaw has been disbanded under a reorganization by National Security Adviser John Bolton.
That is strange, Apple said it was Donald Trump ?? so it was John Bolton after all

Trump was president and it happened with his approval. On his watch.

apple "Trump was president and it happened with his approval. On his watch."" His approval ?? Trump delegated stuff like most Leaders do, so John Bolton disbanded a Committe because he considered it was not, "value for money", ? that was his decision and he has to stand by it. Sources on the Internet say the removal of the committee made little difference to the fight against Covid, the reluctance of the Chinese to give true details, the inaction of WHO, Fauci telling the Public they don't need to wear a mask, Bidet calling Trump a Racist for stopping flights from China, these all played a part to a greater or lesser degree. The Elephant in the room that Nobody on the left likes to mention is why during the eight years of the Obama/Biden regime, none of them protested the removal by big pharma of Factories from the USA to third world countries.

It was a huge mistake. There was no plan on how to deal with the pandemic. Remember Trump saying it would be gone by Easter? Trump failed, he cost 100s of thousands of Americans their life.

Over the course of the Obama presidency, a pandemic infrastructure was put in place. It included recommendations for a top-level White House official devoted to planning and responding to emerging infectious threats and, to guide that person’s work, the “Playbook for early response to high-consequence emerging infectious disease threats and biological incidents.” And then on Jan. 21, 2017, Donald Trump became president. Beginning the morning after his inauguration, a spectacular science-related tragedy has unfolded. The Trump administration has systematically dismantled the executive branch’s science infrastructure and rejected the role of science to inform policy, essentially reversing both Republican and Democrat presidential administrations since World War II, when Vannevar Bush, an engineer, advised Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman. President Trump’s pursuit of anti-science policy has been so effective that as the first cases of Covid-19 were breaking out in Wuhan, China, no meaningful science policy infrastructure was in place to advise him. As a consequence, America is suffering from a pandemic without a plan. Our responses are ineffectual and inconsistent. We are increasingly divided by misinformation and invidious messaging. And it’s not even over. To understand how Trump walked America into this mess, and that his recent claim he “inherited practically nothing” in pandemic preparedness from the previous administration is plainly wrong, it helps to have a picture of the infrastructure he neglected and ignored. link

apple, Of course somebody wants to blame Donald Trump for everything and they will ignore all the strange things that happened under the Obama/Biden Regime such as the US government giving cash to the Chinese to fund research into Covid variants, one of which is likely to have escaped the Lab. Dr Fauci is not devoid of blame in this either for it is he who proposed to use the Wuhan Lab. 400,000 is a lot of deaths but people die from flu every year and per capita, the USA has done much better than the UK. Germany is in the throes of covid 19 with a high death rate, so is Holland, Italy so if first world countries couldn't handle the Pandemic then what chance has North America with all the teeming millions stuck in ghettoes ?

A rigorous, apolitical adherence to medical guidelines would have resulted in a dramatically different outcome.

Global warming at the end of the last glacial period, 11,700 years ago, probably made farming easier. Warmer temperatures, longer growing seasons, higher rainfall and long-term climate stability made more areas suitable for cultivation. But it’s unlikely farming had been impossible everywhere. And Earth saw many such warming events – 11,700, 125,000, 200,000 and 325,000 years ago – but earlier warming events didn’t spur experiments in farming. Climate change can’t have been the only driver.""
Previous Global Warming events which were NOT Man Made occurred quite regularly, this from a Science Paper !!

apple""A rigorous, apolitical adherence to medical guidelines would have resulted in a dramatically different outcome."" How do you know ? The ,'Different Outcome', did not happen in first world countries such as United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Holland, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Austria, Sweden, etc so why should North America suddenly appear as the paragon of Pandemic Fighting. The USA was giving Hundreds of Millions of Dollars to the Very Highly Paid goons at the World Health Organization, in fact the USA kept up their payments when Other Countries neglected to make their payment ! The WHO did nothing but issue Confused/Garbled messages which is why Donald Trump said, "bugger them", and withdrew the USA from the WHO !

By your logic then tell me HOW DO YOU KNOW trumps inaction did not cost hundreds of thousands of lives? Also your view of WHO is incredibly simplistic, trump made accusations and claimed outright lies about WHO.
