So the nurses don't need to be paid, BPL paid, etc etc even on those donated?

If the vaccines are given for free by the Govt then it still costs the person getting it money. Unless they don't pay taxes

Its all well and good saying we can't take them on, but if that's the case we should have never signed the protocols saying we would. AS such we should now withdraw from these protocols. Or was this another case of us signing something because it made us look good but in reality we had no intention of abiding by it.

It will fail because you made referendums political all those years ago. Now all future ones will be, even when many of these things should have passed the referendum. Now enjoy the fruits of what you helped sow.

We are a lawless society. Yes there will be laws in place to stop this, but they are never enforced, unless the person crosses the powers that be. We will continue our merry decline until the collapse is too far and either total collapse or someone will come who has the countries best interest in mind.

Of course the VAT change will benefit the country by making VAT easier, however it will hurt the poorest in this country a lot. I see Government and Mr. Bowe constantly say that all studies show it is better to have VAT on all, then exemptions. But conveniently have not said anything about having social services ready to go with this targeted aid these reports keep mentioning. IF the broad base is the way to go with targeted social spending. then have the targeted social spending ready to go from day one of the VAT changes, not in typical Government fashion of a couple of months to never.

Yes tickets are on sale, just go online and find it.

This doesn't make sense as otherwise the economy would have had a massive decline during this period. Yes there would have been a decrease in consumer spending but not by the amount showing.

I think many do not understand the way VAT works. They think of it like duty which is a cost to business.

This is without doubt one of the worst articles on Covid i have read. I veer to the side of vaccines, but to spew nonsense that without the vaccine there will be huge numbers of deaths, in fact if you are not vaccinated by next year you will be dead is wrong. At the start we were told we must lockdown for two weeks and then we would be good. Two weeks came and went and we were still lockdown. Then the vaccine came and we were told if you are vaccinated you are good. Now not only do you need to be but everyone must. In addition it was you only need to be vaccinated twice and all good, now you need boosters every 6 months and even then that may not help. Admit it you have no idea and are just trying to scaremonger people into doing what you currently think is right. And if in 6 months to a year what you thought was right turns out to be wrong, you don't care, you will just move on to the next thing you think.
