Re: Coronavirus
Who the heck produces those . . and is export/import duty payable by the purchaser, the producer, or the delivery firm?

Re: Coronavirus
The duty is payable in the future (well, one of the futures...)

Re: Coronavirus
They were talking about the possibility of vaccination passports on our local news programme earlier. One legal bod says it's a very interesting area as it goes against the European Court of Human Rights 'right to a private family life' ruling:

Are there any restrictions to this right?
There are situations when public authorities can interfere with your right to respect for private and family life, home and correspondence. This is only allowed where the authority can show that its action is lawful, necessary and proportionate in order to:
protect national security
protect public safety
protect the economy
protect health or morals
prevent disorder or crime, or
protect the rights and freedoms of other people.

Yes, I read that too. You're in Leeds aren't you? It might be on again in the bulletin after the 10pm news.

Re: Coronavirus
Wondering why Corporation Tax is set to soar?
Quote:
England’s £23bn test and trace programme condemned by MPs
‘Unimaginable’ level of spending made no ‘measurable difference’ to spread of virus, report finds
England’s test and trace programme failed to make a “measurable difference” to the spread of the pandemic despite an outlay of £23bn, an “unimaginable” level of expenditure, a parliamentary spending watchdog has claimed.
Meg Hillier, chairman of the House of Commons public accounts committee, said the test and trace programme had cost the equivalent to the annual budget of the Department for Transport.
British taxpayers “cannot be treated by government like an ATM machine”, she said. “We need to see a clear plan and costs better controlled.”
In May last year, Boris Johnson, UK prime minister, told MPs that a “world-beating” test and trace scheme would be in place by June 1 2020. However, the programme was beset with problems, such as long test turnround times and delays in reaching contacts of infected people.
The initial lockdown last spring was followed by further orders to stay at home in the autumn and winter. Hiller said the test and trace programme was supposed to have avoided the need for further lockdowns but added that this “promise” had been “broken, twice”.

Re: Coronavirus
Meanwhile, the perfidious EU attempts to distract from its vaccine nationalism re Italy & Australia, by circulating baseless claims that the UK is the one actually banning vaccine exports:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-56339188
Quote:
A fresh row has broken out between the UK and the EU after the bloc's most senior official suggested the UK had banned all Covid-19 vaccine exports.
Charles Michel, the president of the European Council, wrongly claimed the UK had an "outright ban" on exports of vaccines produced on its soil.
The BBC understands Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has written to him to say the claims are "completely false".
And that an EU representative has been summoned for "further discussions".

I'm quite surprised that we haven't stopped exports of COVID vaccine to be honest. We have a big old list of drugs that can't be exported (see here) including vaccines for Hepatitis B, Pneumococcus and Influenza but not COVID.
I'm guessing reciprocal export bans including the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine would happen which wouldn't be ideal.

When the emergency is over there are going to be some high profile scientists put back in the lab and not on TV any more.
