Quite possibly but to what the degree would be interesting to know. I pressume most that voted would have been pretty much set and certain on which outcome they wanted. It's no secret that the media can have a fair bit of influence when it comes to a general election. Wasn;t it the Sun that switched it's allegiances from the tories to Blair? I know he ended up close to him and became godfather to one of Murdochs kids.

aye about Blair kinda get my point, The influence that little Aussie gobshite has had over British politics of the last 40 years is not be underestimated,


and at least a 3rd of the population voting intention was undecided the weeks leading up to the vote.
with first time voters making a the number as well the misinformation around the vote and the right wing press pushing for the no vote lead to the result

the entrenched opinion on both side where never going to change but the swing was a factor

the benefits of brexit continue to mount up. as it'll be easier for the Balearics to forbid entry to the worst kind of British tourists

www.vice.com

Drunk Brits Could be Banned from Spanish Islands

The Balearics – which included Ibiza and Majorca – are mulling over proposals to curb badly behaved British tourists from their region.
www.vice.com www.vice.com
The proposed laws are yet to be confirmed or fully scrutinised by lawyers, and any attempts to blacklist tourists are likely to come up against EU free movement legislation for visitors from EU member states. Of course, this doesn’t count much for British nationals. Bad news for your hen dos, good news for literally everyone else.

At the dawn of the new millennium, horror films from the UK emerged with increasingly urgent warnings and politics that blur the line between reality and fiction, crying out with warnings that fell on deaf ears.

Brexit through endless discourse across multiple platforms as become emblematic of the tension between what has been historically repressed and how it inevitably returns to us. By examining Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later (2002), Ben Wheatley’s Kill List (2011), Remi Weekes’ His House (2022) and Alex Garland’s Men (2022) this lecture will explore what historical influence Paganism, folk horror and the decline of an empire has had on British horror films over the last two decades.


Sounds like a stretch, though the only film on that list I've seen is 28 Days Later

Ah, I know about this from a video from A Different Bias. This doesn't mean it contains stuff banned in the EU. It is on goods going into Northern Ireland, so that they can't be sold in the Republic.

 
Ffs. Trying to get a hamper to my friend's elderly mum in Dublin after she looked after us so well for a few days. What a fucking rigmarole. Even if a website says they'll do it, they probably won't as soon as you put the address in (which is usually the last step.) I used a German website in the end, which was expensive and not what I wanted at all.

Mobile roaming: EE prompts anger as it increases price by 150%

EE going all in on price gouging now that they are allowed to.

Will be interesting to see if O2 and its associated re-sellers reap the customer influx benefit of having free roaming (albeit limited to a few GB), or whether they cave in to greed and do the same as everyone else. Probably they'll wait a little bit longer to pick up as many changers as they can and then flip the switch. :(
 
The reality is that roaming charges aren't really such a big drama. With most operators it won't cost more than about £2 a day. Less if you are away more than a week or two and buy one of those charges. It's not like the costs have gone back to what they were pre the EU limits. What's really changed in the past decade or so is that mobile costs (especially for data) have dropped massively in general. That has had a more significant effect than what the EU has implemented.

Being so undramatic, makes you wonder how/why they alighted on £2 day. Surely room for much higher costs?
