Second Lieutenant, cheeky sod. However, like it or not this tanker is for turning.

As sad and as painfull as it might be to watch the SP at the moment, and for me its pretty painfull, this tanker will turn on news and if its the news I expect and yes have to a degree taken an informed gamble on this will be back on track for the long discussed £25. So until then best sit on hands and not look at the price too often or perhaps at all. Keep the faith and good luck to all true believers, our day will come.

Dont think any Government anywhere should introduce Mandatory Vacination but having folk with cancer die because hospitals are clogged with unvaccinated individuals is not acceptable either so sadly the solution has to be ban hospitalisation of the unvaccinated, except for those who have not been vaccinated on medical grounds of course. Treatment at home with antivirals and the like for the unvaccinted should of course be supported. Would need communication of this well in advance of enacting.

Sounds like a lot of 'high quality' tests required, not that many companies offer that.

"We will sell all we can make" seems bob on to me!

Certainly seems to be ODX, fizzing there.

Time for tweeting when you spot the chance that there is:
"No need for isolation on travel and contact when UK @AvactaDx has developed an LFT with 100% Sensitivity across the infectious range albeit locked in the UK Government Desktop Validation Process."

Ha ha. More proof if any were needed that someone is taking the proverbial.

Losses are pretty much across the board today not just Covid stocks. BARC -5 percent, MARS -6.5 percent, SMWH -10.6, WIZZ -11 percent and so on. Another lockdown anticipated perhaps.

The public will be active in ensuring this does not happen since it represents a colossal waste of public money when there is little money left, there would be no need for PCR testing except for varient identification following a Positive LFT now that an LFT with 100 percent Sensitivity across the infectious range has been developed.

Now I've been a bit of a fan of Star Trek all my life and firmly believe in the idea that whatever can be imagined will likely come to pass. Seems to me that the Hypo Dr McCoy utilises will likely be injecting Affimer Reagents, yes Vaccines will undoubtedly have had their day in coming decades. Lets hope the Affimer reagent work was kept on warp 5.06 or thereabouts.

When HMG comes knocking to ask Avacta to arrange manufacture of truck loads of our 100% Sensitive LFTs to detect the new varient I hope Al manages to show some restraint and avoids giving them the finger. Not sure I could.

Er, you appear to have missed the significance of the question mark, which leaves it hanging. But the fact there is not wider amendment can be taken as a positive in my opinion.

I have just submitted a complaint using the information below. If others would like to do likewise referencing and taking account of statements in the applicable Government Step 1 (Step 2 documentation referenced below) guideline documentation such as "aim of 20 days for review" and "may take longer if large numbers of applications". In my opinion the review has taken more time than is reasonable given Avactas submission date (prior to Sept 1st) and has caused damage to Avactas business beyond loss of UK sales. Might not do much good but it made me feel better!

Dear Mr *****

Thank you for your correspondence of 2 November to Maggie Throup about Covid-19 test approval. I have been asked to reply.

Covid-19 testing validation is now the responsibility of the UK Health Security Agency who can be contacted directly by email to enquiries@ukhsa.gov.uk. Information about the COVID-19 test approval: step 2 process for desktop review can be found on the GOV.UK website at:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/assessment-and-procurement-of-coronavirus-covid-19-tests/covid-19-test-approval-step-2-process-for-desktop-review

Additionally, further information about the approval application process can be found at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/covid-19-test-approval-how-to-apply#complaints where you will find the contact details for the Coronavirus Testing Device Approval (CTDA) Team to whom you can raise enquiries directly by email to ctda@dhsc.gov.uk

Should you wish to raise a complaint about the approval application process you can do so directly to the CTDA team by email to ctdacomplaints@dhsc.gov.uk

I am sorry that I cannot be more directly helpful.

Yours sincerely,

I'm afraid you're right when you discuss the consequences of being ruled by elites whose background is classical and arts education. I have an engineering backround and degree and have lamented the absence of a detailed and meaningful Engineering Strategy. Have you actually read the ours! Lets not forget the fact that M Thatcher was happy to export much of our manufacturing industry decades ago leaving many people to live life on fhe dole, the future would be the service industries - she was a scientist. Only someone with a classics background could lead the country into a position where there is no centralised control of for example the railways. Had there been the whole system could have been computerised and fully automated (driverless trains) more than a decade ago. Much of our goods traffic routed via the railways to transport-hubs and the rest of it. HS2 more collosal waste, speed isnt everything. Can you imagine an Engineer daft enough to give the Russian leadership the opportunity to turn off our fuel supplies and for heavens sake contemplate allowing the Chinese leadership control over Nuclear power generation! National Leadership should be in hands of practical folk with solid practical engineering experience then we light actually get somewhere. Look what Engineers, mostly British by the way, did for Germany after the second world war - they turned it into the powerhouse of Europe. No, being lead by Classics graduates, Politics Graduates and indeed Barristers is far from ideal. Bring on the Engineers, trouble is finding those who be happy to lead the likes of Boris, Mog and their ilk. These days perhaps the only way is to kick the lot of the parisites out and start again with the best of a bad lot, via a Government of National Unity. I honestly think in all modesty I could have done a better job than Boris, but then perhaps most Engineers would have.

Lets not forget that being vaccinated does not prevent one from transmitting Covid to others particularly if in close proximity in confined spaces etc. So no, LFT use can be expected to be ongoing in my opinion.

Seems Mystic Meg has predicted tomorrows the day. Best information for a while, I'll be up early.

I hope that all UK companies stymied by this inept and corrupt Government band together and launch a class action against them [the Government] to win compensation for actuall losses and lost opportunities in relation to Covid products. First Brexit, then Bungled Pandemic and now pending Economic Failure, recently heard of a fuel bill rising from £40 last quater to £500 this. What a fiasco. Just came back from the supermarket bare shelves for quite a lot of my favourite fodder. Government: Hopeless, hapless cretins the lot of them.

Heresthe text of another email Ive sent to my MP if anyone wants to follow suit with something similar ...
Hi X, I understand there is to be a debate on Monday concerning the award of Covid related contracts. I honestly feel there have been some very murky dealings in this respect. Its over a year since I first contacted you with respect to the the small pharma company Avacta. It has been thwarted in turning its world beating products into contracts, not least in my opinion by Sir John Bell and Porton Down. The Avacta AffiDX Lateral Flow Test has the highest performance/ Sensitivity and Specificity, of any test in the world thats to say 100% at CT 28 as I say unparalleled in the world. The test uses British IP, was developed here in the UK by a British Company using British Technology yet it is currently unable to sell any of its product in the UK since it is stalled in the Government Validation process while lesser products both British and foreign, noteably but not exclusively Chinese, are being sold in huge quantities. In my opinion there is something radically wrong here. If possible would you please give voice to my concerns. Thank you.

I've contacted my MP who happens to have recently been appointed the commons justice commitee asking that he looks into the delay Avacta is currently experiencing with UK approval. Got to try ...
