This is a very strange sentence.
? Is this some esoteric biblical ‘I will make you fishers of men’ type reference?

I wouldn’t call the Commission’s insistence that the vaccines, authorisation and purchase were done collectively a ridiculous blip for a couple of hours.
It has been a major disaster for the roll out of vaccines in Europe and a major PR disaster for Ursula Von der Leyen and the Commission.

I was referring to the spat with UK and Article 16.
I just hope vaccine roll out in France improves dramatically and soon.
Don’t think your synopsis will be well received on this platform - could be wrong?
Fucknuggets, too much.? No, spot on!!!
May I suggest, that if you are that easily swayed in applying for your residency in France, then you were never really committed to doing so in the first place.
Bit of a hollow argument and pointless rant!

Possibly one of the have your cake and eat it brigade of second home owners taking a punt at getting a card, and who had not yet got round to actually fully transferring residence?
If you message another member is the message private?
provided you use the Message icon … (it’s an envelope button)
click on the person’s name (on a thread for example) and a box opens… there’s stuff… and a Message/envelope… click on that…
good luck
The general view right across Europe seems to be that the UK has taken “enormous risks” with its vaccines strategy (the words of French European affairs minister, Clément Beaune - who also talked about the “fewer precautions” followed by the UK as opposed to France).
Most EU countries have now limited the AstraZeneca vaccine to the less-at-risk under-65s.

This might be because they don’t have enough vaccine to do anything else but and saves face and diverts attention from the mess of their slow run out.

But, given their record on telling the truth, which is more likely to be right - London or almost every other European government?
Co-incidentally - review today of new book evidencing Boris Johnson’s habitual mendacity…

I click on the orange pencil and see your message but don’t know how to reply. It is just a dead box with your message in. I am using an iPad.
That’s because Stella’s profile is hidden
They are all politicians, they spend their lives spinning their version of the truth to suit their own agendas and are always trying to keep one step ahead of getting their lies and half truths from being found out.
The only time most politicians are not being economical with the truth is when they have their traps shut.

Give me a break Jane!. Nobody, nowhere, Worldwide, trusts one member of the UK Cabinet. The EU has acted in good faith throughout the Brexit negotiations while the UK has tried every dirty trick in the book, including their favorite “divide and conquer” and you write about them “loosing” of confidence. I felt physically ill listening to the smug liar Gove take the moral high ground in the HoC before going cap in hand begging to the EU to extend the grace period on the very deal he negotiated and lauded only weeks ago.
I don’t see what being a secular society has to do with fish. Maybe you are confusing episcopal with piscean? 
That couldn’t be more incorrect Jane. If you don’t mind me saying so, I suspect you know next to nothing about the Good Friday Agreement, why the protocol was required or that the UK was the first to threaten to break International Law. I certainly don’t have the time or inclination to update you, but you really should do a little research before laying the blame for the UK’s homegrown problems at the EU’s door.
Finally, It has to be admitted that threatening to invoke Article 16 was a massive blunder (though not of the scale of any of the repeated massive blunders the UK has made since the referendum) but a mistake nevertheless. The best summing up of the situation I found was this comment in the Guardian:
