Well if he cant i can! ;-0

Jokes aside.. Budd must have a team doing that for him so he needs to put a firework up their AR $£... if its purely down to cost then sales here shouldn't be a problem with the Gov spending £400billion so far on PPE/ Furlough etc ... 37B on the useless & pointlesst est & trace... surely a few extra quid on vital PCR wouldn't be an issue here... abroad in poorer countries maybe but then the WHO should step in and cough up.

Agreed... both here and the States the length of time for approvals is ridiculous and has hurt GDR massively ... there are so many crappy useless tests under review while the quality ones have to wait in line for a frikking year

drlong...this article snippit below is from 5th Jan 2022.. British medical Journal..

GP practices that are struggling to access covid-19 testing for their staff can use a “significant contingency supply” reserved for the health service and local authorities, NHS England has said.

In a bulletin to practices1 sent on 30 December, NHS England said those experiencing delays in receiving testing kits should contact their regional testing lead to “ensure that staff can be tested and return to work, when safe to do so.”

The advice comes amid warnings that staff shortages in the NHS are disrupting the delivery of care, while at the same time access to lateral flow tests (LFTs) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests is being limited because of high demand.

The bulletin said, “We have heard from all primary care contractor groups that access to covid-19 testing, both LFTs and PCR, is still proving challenging.

“If you are experiencing delays in receiving testing kits please work with your commissioner who can put you in contact with your regional testing lead. Through regional testing leads, a significant contingency supply of LFTs has been distributed to the NHS and local authorities to be used in times of extremis.”

It added, “Where PCR testing through normal routes is unavailable, pillar 1 capacity may be utilised. This is dependent on local need and agreement, and the availability of staff to enable swabbing. Again, please speak to your commissioner for further information.”

Poor old Bojo.. I'm surprised he didn't authorise a swig of rum for everyone

...“The government has only told us it’s OK to come back to the office because they want to be seen to be doing something,” she said. “We’ve had the same rules in place for ages and they need to change them every so often, to look like they know what they’re doing.

...
Commuters have welcomed their freedom to return to work, despite many voicing the belief that the government’s motives had more to do with political expediency than science.

Testing will be here for years... as long as Budd's device can detect all new variants we will be fine... look at places like Australia and Austria for that matter... they wont be letting anyone in without PCR's

Bojo is giving us a few months off before the next variant drops... another 2 viruses here before the summer so some chap from WHO reckons.

This whole new found freedom Bojo is promising is just a distraction away from his antics and a poor attempt at trying to win over the British public with good old bulldog spirit.

Last time they relaxed it when the Students went back to UNI in Sept... they literally wet themselves as it spread like wildfire again and re introduced draconian restrictions... so it was either complete BS from the Gov for the last 2 yrs or this terrifying..deadly.. all consuming virus which cost the UK $£400b... has miraculously just disappeared... or they have realised its just not as bad as they thought it was for 99.9% of the people.

plenty of 100k blocks being bought...anyone want to own up?? Wish it was me! ;-(

...and there she blows ;-)

Saying that we could go blue any moment... more blue tomorrow as even the ones who sold for a small profit will want to be in before close of play.... MB could drop mega news @ anytime.

I mean this is being held back or manipulated in some way as the indicated buying level should have us well into the blue .

...Support level seems strong at this point... Can someone in Budds' office give him a prod... or a boot up the arse might be better!

Im sure you will be pleased you done that once news drops Bonkers...best of British luck to you
