Mine is a paid service £30 p.a. but there are quite a few free ones to choose from.

Thanks, this could come in useful one day but currently not needed. The internet is such fun, so much naughtiness.

Re: EU annoyed me again

This is interesting.

The EU effectively banning US publications throughout the EU area?

Well, I'd like to say that I hope they continue to do so and, in fact, ban many more US products as well.

Not that I have anything personally against the Americans.

It's just that I'd be very pleased if the EU continues to upset the Americans because once we have left the EU dictatorship we'd benefit from having the US as our ally...

and the EU's enemy!

It is already becoming apparent to the Americans that Brexit will have a detrimental impact on their businesses and economy as US many companies have set up in the UK on the basis that it provides them unrestricted access into the greater European economy from an English speaking base where there countrymen can integrate fairly easily. Brexit puts up barriers, increases costs and makes the UK less attractive.

Trump is a protectionist and will do what is best for the US

Hi

Yes, Trump is a protectionist, has openly said so.

He will only sign Trade Deals which benefit the USA.

Your not a big believer in free speech and being able to read what a person wants then. Personally I think everyone should be able to access whatever they wish to read, as long as it's not illegal porn etc. my little habit of reading about celebs and following perez hilton's pronouncements wasn't hurting anyone and was making me happy.

Hi

Get over it, it will not change even when we leave the EU.

It was pushed for by the UK, and with good reason.

Re: EU annoyed me again

Well that's a shame I was hoping to be able to enjoy my magazines again. It's not just magazines either I've lost the ability to research the great stuff USA is doing for MS sufferers and klinefelters sufferers too that's going to restrict a lot of people from getting help they need.

As for get over it don't be so rude if we have to listen to you about your sofa not matching your curtains I think my losing my magazines is a valid thread too.

Hi

I did not blame the EU for my choice of sofa.

I posted the thread to poke fun at my own stupidity and give members a laugh.

They will no doubt be having a laugh when I put up the photos of my side passage.

Re: EU annoyed me again

And I am not allowed to post what I want too ? I do blame the EU we are part of it. If it was our idea we need to make better decisions in future that don't stop us accessing medical help from USA.
