Will Britain piss off and get on with Brexit II (mod warning in OP)

Sure, a bunch of glorified civil servants in Brussels have the power to impose a hard border on this Island.
A hard border, over trying to get EU vaccines?
As I recall it was the Brits, DUP and general ignoramuses who were trying to put a hard border there - just like they did in the first place0 -
Clearly someone overstepped the mark, but that is a different matter to your claim that Civil Servants have been given executive powers. That is not the case, EU Comissioners are not Civil Servants.
Read the post that my post was a reply to, like a good chap. He was the one who claimed the commsion was the equivalent of a civil service.
Of course, EU commisioners are polticians. Ones who are given careers in Europe by their governments when they're too toxic for home consumption, like the bould Phil, or Ursula, whose reward for making a complete balls of Germanys defence forces was to be put in charge of Europe.

The Commission aren't civil servants but there would be EU civil servants doing the work on the ground and the Commissioners then being fed info and making decisions (and taking responsibility for them) based on that info. Same as with every elected body who makes decisions (or even any managerial level in a company for example!)0 -

The EU is populated by failed politicians, Der Spiegel launched a scathing attack on Ursula, she has quite a track record.... Trouble is she has nowhere left to run this time

It has almost nothing to do with Brexit, except in so far as it the only bit of actual positive news coming out of the UK due to the complete shambles that Brexit is.
Had the UK stayed in the EU the UK could still be doing what it is doing. That, or they could have added more weight to the EU and maybe avoided the mistakes that the EI made.
What it doesn't do is solve any of the issues with Brexit. What it does show very clearly is that the UK have no intention of helping with any issues in the EU, which of course means that the EU must, if they hadn't before, see the UK as a direct competitor.
I think one lesson they will learn is that any future contracts such as with AZ, will have a very direct clause about EU being 1st of equals when any issues with supply with the UK arise.
This is clearly a very good news story for the Uk, in the short term. Long term their lack of grace and outright nationalistic glee will not be forgotten
When this whole ****show broke I posted that it will be amusing to watch the gymnastics some posters will perform to avoid admitting that its a ****show of the EUs making
The EU made a balls of their vaccination strategy, long before they started a public war of words with AZ. The British vaccine strategy was on the money. The results speak for themselves.
The EU tried to trigger article 16, the Brits didn't
None of that is "tabloid spin". You'll just find on boards the type of Irish person who will defend their percieved betters no matter what. The Germans, the Dutch, The French, don't suffer from that particularly Irish inferiority complex. They're not going "but...but what about Brexit". They're calling for heads to roll for this shambles
That said, They werent glefully predicting that the Brits would be enduring shortages of medicine post Brexit. 0 -

Nobody said the EU was perfect Bambi. Has the advantages and disadvantages of being in any organisation.
And you should be aware of the old adage: one swallow does not a summer make.0
