We know that fella, unfortunately these politicians don't live in the real world. Clueless cunts the lot of them.

Its going to be crazy at the weekend if this is how its being managed.

Problem is the rules aren’t absolutely definitive. A substantial meal for @leigh white is a bag of crisps. Whilst I’m munching through a 16oz steak (unless I’ve had a bag of course) 

Up here it’s a main meal needs to be purchased. And a lot of pubs near me remain shut as they didn’t have a food offering pre lockdown so they can’t start now.

Pubs by us (just over border in North Yorkshire) have bought out special menus. Lots of chilli for a fiver. Stuff that can just be stuck in a big pot.

Guess it’s slightly different down south and plus each council will manage its own licensing etc differently so you will get massive variation. 
 

be interesting to see if the pubs down there  that didn’t serve food before hand are allowed to now to enable themselves to open

As I've skipped a few (loads) pages, this might have already been asked, but in what kind of fucked up world has a Scotch Egg become fit to be deemed a substantial meal?

No, my stance hasn't shifted in the slightest. Are you agreeing that EU Rules don't apply to the MHRA? And therefore Rees-Mogg et al are lying? As a country, we are still abiding by EU regs until January... 

I think (and I stress “think”) that I have to agree with what Cheese is saying here as I think that this argument has got a bit mixed up

We have to abide by the EU regs until we have formally left. That doesn’t mean that we can’t grant a licence. We can, so long as we abide by the said regs. Once we’ve left the EU we can do what we want but are unlikely to as the agreed regs are pretty solid and we will continue to follow them as it makes no sense to divert from them

Cheese can correct me if I’ve wrongly interpreted his stance

Edit: And if I understand correctly even if a licence is granted across the entire EU individual countries regulatory bodies can still wait until they grant use in their own country if they are not convinced that the data is solid enough

Meals aren't even being served now. Just a normal pub with folk watching the match. Going to skyrocket this in a couple of weeks.

Sounds like that place needs shutting down. Hopefully it isn't the norm.

The MHRA have fast-tracked the supply of the vaccine whilst working within EU Laws, which still apply until January. Anyone who claims "we couldn't have done this if we were still in the EU!!" is either a liar or doesn't understand reality. I suppose when you're scraping the barrel for the slightest possible positive to take from Brexit, you will grasp at anything - whether it's true or not.

I've highlighted his incorrect statement. 

We all know that we're still under eu rules, however the mhra isn't governed by them as has always had the authority to go separately. 

He has since agreed that that is the case but denies a change of stance. Instead trying to carry on with the 'thicko' themes.

Fwiw, I suspect the mhra was not particularly known about, let alone influential in people's thinking over their brexit decision. Nor is it some indication of an out vote's benefit now.

I'm going to leave it here now however, as it isn't really relevant to the topic.

Credit where credits due, U.K. government got the approval and acted on implementing the vaccine, while all other countries are pontificating which will cause more deaths.

Have other countries regulators approved the vaccine?

Not yet, pretty sure they soon will. Someone was going to be the first to do it, neither here nor there. Not sure I'd describe them as pontificating- it does seem that vaccine concern isn't just here and is an issue world wide- they're just doing what they deem as best for themselves which is fair enough. 

Would imagine the fda will be along very soon.

I was wondering whether clubs might be able to safely manage more than 2,000 fans at a match. Just seen the Luton game and they seem to have their 2,000 fans in a space probably meant to 3,000 fans. Pretty much sat as normal with no distancing at all. It’s the first game back - hope the authorities aren’t watching.

Had a chat with the manager. So every three drinks you need to order a meal. A meal can be chips and something else. They've done 300 servings of coleslaw today! Group of 16 in the beer garden.

It isn't incorrect, unless you think the MHRA broke EU laws? As you well know, the point I'm making is that those saying "This is only possible because of Brexit!" are lying.
