I see that CH has now substituted 'separatism' for 'nationalism', which I think works a lot better.

Which, if not earth-shattering in itself, bodes well for the future and is a good thing.

Yes, we were technically free to pursue our own vaccine procurement programme. So were all the other EU members, and some of them started to do so, but in the end 'EU solidarity' won out. We would have been under intense pressure not to break ranks, not least from home-grown Europhiles in the civil service and media, and governments which took such people seriously (ie, all of them between Maggie and Boris) would have been only too ready to conform. That would have been the safe option, the consensual option, the 'obviously right' option. That we might be able to do better by ourselves would have been an unthinkable thought.

As soon as you start favouring occupational or other social groups, you give a green light to every special pleader, virtue signaller and backseat driver in the business, all of whom will seize the opportunity with alacrity and create a cacophony of competing claims. That could become very divisive, very quickly.

Of course they have a bigger problem than most as they're always so adamant about how incontestably right they are, and how stupid everyone else is. Even so, probably best not to crow too much.

No one (at least no one in the UK) is suggesting that this should be at the expense of the British population.
