Nice phrase, do you know what it means? using it in this context would suggest you don't.

It may interest you whether a ventilator came from a European project or not, but I doubt those that will need them in the coming weeks will care for your ideology on their death beds.
I don't have an ideology, I was merely suggesting that this was a side issue. The independent article was very short on any detail. i.e Amount of ventilators each state would get, when they would get them, cost etc, etc

A side issue that wasn't worth getting bogged down in.

Quote:
I’d, like a rational person, take every ventilator going. British, European or sourced from elsewhere. The only thing irrelevant is where it comes from.
I agree, I don't think anything said was contrary to that, apart from whether sourced via EU, via UK or via Both is a side issue.

The good news is the Goverment share my view and are now participating in the European project..
like I said, side issue.
