Re: Shop selling variety of solar lights

Has anyone found solar lights that work for long, in the strong summer sun, perishing the panels?

Re: Mad Vlad Putin

Well, there’s plenty of USA GOP supporters backing Putin…. Including Trump, manny of his GOP senators and governors and many of the media…. Fox especially… Also, Johnson and his Tory party are not without sin…. Almost all have taken Russian money to buy their allegiance…. Johnson has given the Russi...

Re: Mag box issues

The use of VPNs will inevitably come in, Sky is moving rapidly to IPTV-only services, They need to protect that. It means banning access to media.

In the UK, we need VPNs now. Soon, you will in Cyprus.

Re: Russia invades... what now?

The UK showing their allegiance to Russian money - we have only frozen Accounts of 5 x oligarchs. 3 of them have been frozen from the USA since 2014.

We have a reluctance to properly get involved. The Torygrad party - when you get bought - you stay bought.

Re: Mag box issues

I am using fire sticks in the UK and more reliable than Mag boxes.

The problem with the MAG, you cannot run a VPN on them.

You can on FS and Android.

Re: It’s Official - from the OBR -Brexit is much worse for UK economy than even COVID pandemic

Having been brought up in Lanarkshire, with both grandfathers being miners who died of silicosis, my area would also have massive amounts of shale gas and oil, as the entire central belt was mined. They used to say Newcastle was famous for Coal and Steel, while Lanarkshire was famous for Steel’n’Coa...

Never mind, Rees-Mogg will find something positive I’m sure…. Or if not, he will create something negative to hold up as anti-EU.

The same man who moved his Investment company to Dublin to avoid Brexit restrictions.

Re: It’s Official - from the OBR -Brexit is much worse for UK economy than even COVID pandemic

JIm B - that’s the true picture, always spun differently by Johnson (ex PM within weeks, methinks) Also, the price of everything is up in the UK, I cannot think of anything that is cheaper, or even the same. Inflation is expected to hit 7.5% before the summer. True rate would be over 10% if previous...

The British public have been conditioned/brainwashed by a subservient attitude - doffing caps, expecting others to rule, boss, have influence etc.
