bendan Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 11 hours ago, 101 said: Brexit being pushed back again as the Northern Ireland Protocol has been extended indefinitely so GB/NI trade can flow. How is anyone who trades between GB and NI meant to plan when everytime the changes come in they push them back, such a strange way to run policy. Indefinitely postponed now, and EU seemingly accepting that. It's almost as if they are actually able to manage the 'threat' to the SM away from the border, but of course that can't be the case. They can only do that for cigarettes and alcohol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Looks like the DUP are going to collapse the NI assembly thanks to Boris' wonderful political skill. I know a lot of people band about Boris being the worst PM ever line but should this happen it's not even going to be close. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worse than you imagine in Germany... why, just last night the German national football team tried to claim asylum after a clearly planned "emergency" landing at Edinburgh airport. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58501227 The feds obviously didn't fancy a diplomatic incident with the Germans, so after a few hours, they were on their way.

Soapy FFC Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-58501527 Now Three are starting to charge for roaming. I love the doublespeak that they use to justify the introduction of charges; "In a statement, Three said: "The new charge ensures that customers are clear on what they will pay when using their phone in another country and only those who roam will pay for the service."" I was clear on what I paid, nothing, it was already included!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speckled tangerine Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 So far we have evidence that exports from the UK to Europe have bombed, we are literally throwing shite into the sea and we know that the NHS is unable to provide medication or perform simple tasks like blood tests. We know that food is rotting in fields, prices are up in supermarkets (and generally) and the lack of staff is harming business generally. We see that supermarkets are running out of basic items. We know that incremental expense such as roaming is/will be coming. Any fucking benefits yet? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Well, that might be how some rabid Brexiteers will see it.... ) They were actually planning to disembark but then someone who had read a remain leaflet explained that they needed visas post-Brexit. And the Der Spiegel correspondent on board told them there was nothing in the shops anyway, so no point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about Paypal being the same as the roaming cartel. There are many other ways of paying for shit than Paypal so if you don't like the charges, then use another method. The mobile companies are all acting in concert which to me looks like a cartel. Unless one of them isn't raising roaming charges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
