A thank you to Brexiteers.

[NoXion]

Yes, it's all going brilliantly.

UK stars call on government to act over post-Brexit touring

Artists such as Radiohead and Biffy Clyro back a campaign asking for a financial support package.

www.bbc.co.uk

Well, what else is there? Once you get to the point that Radiohead is asking for a bailout there’s not really anywhere else to go, the shark has been jumped.

Imagine sincerely believing that Radiohead are "too big to fail"!

How do you know when the pilot's a Brexiteer?

"Th-th-there's n-n-n-no t-t-t-turbulence t-t-t-today."

Sounds like Michael Palin's character out of fish called wanda

 

[Yossarian]

Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood seems more concerned about the situation for young bands and UK-based crew members than about his own band. He also makes me wish I'd spent the early '90s touring Europe with a small indie band.

European touring made Radiohead what we are. Brexit must not destroy it | Colin Greenwood

Unless our government acts, the red tape and costs of touring Europe will kill off careers and diminish our national culture

Its plenty as long as your not constantly fucking about on Twatter and Instagram every day for 2 weeks and actually enjoying your holiday. Or doing the dreading video call while walking down the street.

Expect other networks to fragment this and fuck around with the limits and charges.

Sure most people supplement their data allowance with WiFi

Not everyone goes on holiday and spends their entire time moaning about Brexit on social media

I didnt think 25gb was too bad tbh, but just wanted to update the thread, perhaps its the wrong thread.

But then again im 50 and dont spend all the time on my phone (ok i admit spending most of my time at the moment posting on here, via my pc but that's only cos im bedridden at the moment )

That was my first post on this thread so please dont paint / tar ?? me with that brush

This is obviously the third

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

What as in Brexiteers have a sense of humour and remainers don't? I think the past 24 hours have borne that out, yes.

I was thinking more that while there’s clowns on both sides, only one of them has punched themselves in the face with something messy.

It may come as a surprise but several countries in the EU now have wifi .

That is exactly what clowns are supposed to do though, which is why the thing doesn't work.

FWIW you don't normally get to carry all your data plan over into other EU countries anyway. On my Italian SIM I have 100Gb a month but I am only allowed to use 4Gb per month in other EU countries.

Not a dig at you, the tweet was a bit hysterical is all. I spend about a tenner to get a couple of gig and thats plenty, if I do insta or stream videos then wifi exists.

I see it's time to belittle the musicians again. Sigh.

Yet it's still perfectly possible to regularly find yourself in hotels and areas with no wi-fi, or wi-fi you have to pay for at daft rates.

I used ny Portuguese sim in the UK and got charged for sending a photo on a message

EE to reintroduce Europe roaming charges in January

The mobile operator EE is to charge new UK customers to use their phones in Europe.

At least thems that do are going to be taxed after the first 25GB

Says in this article that what O2 are doing with the 25gb thing is not actually roaming charges and would have been allowed pre-brexit.

Yes, and I wasn't too worried about it. As many have said, 25GB is quite a lot. I don't think I've ever used more than 6 in a month.

EE, however, are taking the piss. They're wagering that all the other networks will do the same. Which means that they probably will.

Wonder if EE might have had a hand in the seemingly misleading news about O2 yesterday.

In January 2021, EE, O2, Three and Vodafone all stated they had no plans to reintroduce roaming charges, despite Brexit giving them the option to do so.

Gosh, more lies.
