You got me. I posted on Mullers post first and then cut from his.
But anyhow I don’t see how that makes me a troll.
It’s not even bad news. And at least I’m doing something not sat on my fat ass mosning and being rude
Touk, cutting and pasting isn't your strong point is it.
If the last line of your last post isn't enough proof that you are a paid Troll ( and not a very good one) I'm not quite sure what is.
I previously posted on here the response my MP received for me from Maggie Throupe minister for vaccinations etc. For a reason that was not clear to me my post on here was met with abuse.
Anyhow, when I saw the FOI response posted elsewhere on this BB, I decided to reply to my MP. She in turn has seen fit to reply to Maggie and copied me in.

Dear Maggie,
You previously responded to an enquiry from my constituent, Mr Derek Xxxxxxx, regarding approval of lateral flow tests. I am writing to you again to ask about some matters that arise from these enquiries.
You will see below that Mr Xxxxx has been informed that there are five full time equivalent scientific advisors reviewing applications for approval under the Medical Devices (Coronavirus Test Device Approvals) (Amendment) Regulations 2021 (CTDA).
Do you believe that this is an appropriate level of resourcing of what seems to me to be a very important task, given the situation we face?
Further, no companies applying have been approved yet. What do you believe the cause of this is? What is the process for improvement to make it more likely tests will be approved in the future?
I would be grateful if you could respond to these further questions.
Thanks and best wishes,
Alison

Thanks for your constructive post. So what were the vital good bits I left out?
You can't check because none of us can access post history at the moment. But I can assure you that I did indeed post the letter on here ( with all the good bits included).
The thread was entitled, Letter from Maggie Throup via my MP.
And I still think you are an imbecile.

I’ve checked and I cannot see that you posted the Maggie Throup letter on this BB.
Also I am at a loss for the “imbecile” comment. Do you believe this Govt drivel. I hope that you did as I have just done and sent a reply exposing the misleading info the letter contains. Probably won’t do any good but made me feel a little better. I’m seething.
Oh and finally, what did I miss out that has annoyed you?
Make your reply constructive rather than abusive please.
That letter was sent to me on the 18th October, word for word.
Funny how you have conveniently missed out all the best bits.
Imbecile.
Maggie Throupe bakes buns...
I’ve just received, via my PM, a reply from From Maggie Throup MP Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Vaccines and Public Health
I will cut and paste some of it:
We are committed to boosting UK manufacturing and demonstrated this with the award of a contract for 20 million devices to Derby-based test manufacturer SureScreen Diagnostics. These lateral flow device (LFD) tests were the first British tests to be validated in the laboratory by Public Health England and the first UK-manufactured LFD tests to be approved for supervised testing. These LFDs are able to generate a result in under 15 minutes.
Our Dynamic Purchasing System, a procurement tool that allows qualifying suppliers to compete for contracts, will diversify the supply of LFD tests through fair and transparent competition. Further information can be found at www.gov.uk by searching for ‘national technical validation process for manufacturers of SARS-CoV-2 (CO. .
To be purchased by the department, LFD tests need to have been validated by Porton Down and must have regulatory approval in the form of either an exceptional use authorisation (EUA) or a European conformity (CE) mark. None of the products for self- testing with Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency EUA approval or a CE mark are currently manufactured in the UK.
The joint Porton Down and University of Oxford team has developed a rigorous validation approach, which can be found at www.gov.uk by searching for ‘protocol for evaluation of rapid diagnostic assays for specific SARS-CoV-2 antigens (lateral flow devices)’. The current validation process consists of three assessment phases of increasing stringency. Phase 3a is a validation against clinical samples, and successful completion of this final stage means a product has demonstrated suitable performance and is therefore eligible for procurement .
