Whoops, looks like all the poor lads who rushed in to defend the Commision regardless of the circumstances might have more reason to blush now
It was the Commisioner who made the call to trigger Article 16, it wasnt the by-product of some procedural mistake. She also admits the EU has made a bit of a balls of their vaccine strategy.
"Von der Leyen also admitted she should never “even have thought” of invoking a clause in the Brexit withdrawal agreement to prevent vaccines crossing the border on the island of Ireland."
Also revealed that commisioners arent even always aware of emergency decisions made by the commision (900 emergency decisions made since the pandemic began.) which is why Mairead McGuinness didnt know that the commision she sits on had just f***ed the GFA in the bin. Great to see strong checks and balances on the executive power given to unelected positions charged with running Europe.
Another right gem here too: "If we conclude a contract, we need another five days for the member states to say, 'yes' — and these are five days, five working days. So obviously of course a decision taken by 27 lasts longer than if you just go by yourself, but I am deeply convinced that the European approach is the right one."
Despite the fact that all the evidence is to the contrary. One the plus side, while it might take every countrys approval for a contract, the EU can impose a hard border on this island without even informing the Irish government, let alone needing their approval, so swings and roundabouts eh?

Not to mind, lets all post about Johnson or Farage to distract ourselves.
