Re: So, Brexit means Brexit, except when it doesn't

Yes because COVID had no effect at all on anyone's economy.

Re: Nope

Probably behind a bar in a Greek holiday resort. They're closed from October to May.

Re: Unforgivable!

RT.com working fine for me here in the UK.

Re: You're all smart people (cough cough)

Exactly. When Thatcher decreased the tax rate for top earners, the tax take actually increased.

Re: Anonymous because "They" are watching...

No

Re: Dead Cat

"share it around possibly for a small fee" - Ah, encouraging the future entrepeneurs.

Ooh 10 downvotes. That'll be either 10 politicians or 10 fools who believe their politicians are all scrupulouly honest.

Cool. A downvote but no answer. I'm guessing that was from the author of the article.

Re: Agreed

Well... Now that the Trump circus has packed up it's Big Top.

Re: Polarizing filter

Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering why the op was getting serious downvotes for what was, on the face of it, a suggested solution.

You can bet your left sock that Ericsson have had Huawei's kit in their labs and can prove it isn't a security threat. But they can't let that one out of the bag as it would be bad for business. And also because "the Donald" won't believe it anyway and they'll be blacklisted as co conspiritors.

Re: It helps to have the world's wussiest burglar break into your house...

I wasn't a police sceptic. Until I got my caravan stolen off my driveway in broad daylight about 20 years ago. All I got was a crime number after about a week.

Re: Nice try Sir, but you didn't engage Rimmer as consultant, did you?

I believe you mean Stanley Unwin. "Oh deep folly"

Re: Comments from a Yank

"demented old fart who cant string Three little words into anything bordering on a coherent sentence"

And yet Trump's supporters will still vote for him. Amazing

Re: Gold plated cables

"an iPhone will last about twice as long as most Android devices"

That'll be because you can only afford to replace it half as often.

Re: Hey Apple, there's another way!

"smart battery case"

Seems the only thing "smart" about them is the outward appearance.

Re: Mayoress is the Mayor’s wife, and always has been.

It's a shame really that Hillary didn't win the last US election. I was looking forward to Bill being First Lady.

I'm sure that the Corbot would just confiscate your house (no compensation) to install a mast, then rent it back to you at a special "rich persons" rate.

Re: Really?

I'd hazard a guess that the Duke of Edinburgh is still a better driver than some folks on the road today.

Re: despite clear and profound differences

If you take the example of zoology then relatively minor differences between the same animal results in it being classified as a different species, never mind a different race. eg, Elephants, Rhino's, Giraffes.

"El Reg had a story but can't find it"

This one?

Re: Only monarchy fans allowed, then ?

"inbred hereditary bloodsuckers"

The vast majority of the inbred bloodsuckers these days aren't hereditary but are political appointees. Placemen, put there as an attempt at some kind of vote rigging in the "upper house".

"70mph as that was the top speed of most cars in the 1970s"

Close but no cigar. The 70 mph speed limit was introduced in 1965

That would come under the heading of parental responsibility. You need to tape "little Jess's" mouth shut until you've established that Alexa has been unplugged.

Re: What do these overpriced watches do that my £100 "ordinary" watch can't?

They show you have more money than sense. I have a "Rolex" for special occasions, bought for 10 euros at a Turkish bazaar about 15 years ago.

Re: GDPR?

I came here to read an article and comments about police surveillance. NOT to read another idiot's rant about Brexit.
