Sir Nick Clegg appeared on LBC to discuss the failures surrounding the European Union’s vaccine rollout stating it was letting its citizens down by not putting out “bets” on different companies quick enough. Sir Nick, who was opposed to Brexit, also discussed a Bloomberg study which found growing support for UK independence after witnessing the pandemic issues in Europe. Sir Nick said it was understandable to see such anger as he critiqued the EU for its coronavirus failures.
Appearing on LBC, host Nick Ferrari asked Sir Nick: “How have you seen the EU and UK squabble over vaccines?”
Sir Nick Clegg replied: “I think the EU has let itself down, more importantly, has let millions of Europeans down by not providing people with vaccines on the scale and with the speed that has been possible in the UK and elsewhere, and that’s elicited, quite understandably, a lot of anger.
“Never mind what people say to opinion pollsters in the UK, across the EU people are waiting for their vaccines impatiently.”
