Re: Coronavirus
Quote:
Back in July, Boris Johnson turned down an invitation for Britain to join the EU's Covid vaccine scheme, taking the view that we'd be better off sourcing our own.
Cue the most almighty stink, with Opposition politicians falling over one another to score cheap points.
Catherine West, Labour's shadow minister for Europe, dubbed the decision 'dumb and dumber'. Her colleague, Bell Ribeiro-Addy, accused the Government of 'yet again putting ideology before saving lives'.
...
James Felton, a comedy writer for The Guardian and BBC, accused the evil PM of 'killing your own citizens to own the EU'.
Six months on and we can all see exactly how these fanciful predictions panned out.
For in reality, the Government's decision to forgo the EU's hapless procurement vaccine scheme was neither stupid, nor evil. Instead, it has proven to be little short of a triumph. Britain now leads not just Europe but almost the entire developed world in inoculating its citizens.

A story that really needs re-telling, repeatedly.
