The irony of the Brexit boys whining about a 'mandate for a referendum' :lol: Well SNP and the greens are pro independence and have a majority together so how isn't that a mandate? Not quite, Sturgeon keeps campaigning that an SNP vote is not about Independence. Then when she gets the votes she cla...

Have they abandoned Dart underground again?

I see plans for Dart + which uses Phoenix Park tunnel .

I spent 10 days there at the end of 2019, and have friends and colleagues who travel regularly (or did, pre-covid at least). I spent 10 days in Hong Kong and Macau 10 years ago - and loved both, albeit I appreciate that they weren't mainstream China then. I travelled last time with an open mind and...

They use the open source version Android I believe and not the google version. You need the Express VPN or Nord VPN to access Gmail, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instgram and Facebook in China.

Twitter is blocked on China though. Most Chinese use Sino Weibo as their microblogging site which is tightly controlled by the CCP . That tells you everything about the brittleness of the Chinese system. They're much weaker than they appear. Most tourists and expats have the VPN downloaded before s...

I'd imagine you'd need a VPN , chinese SIM and mobile wallet Dozy: can you change phone number on Alipay or Wechat so that way i can save money on data with Chinese SIM card He is very specific: have dedicated hardware that you don't use outside China.

The dollar will probably continue to decline. The 2018 BTC price was well before covid. Took several years to return to that level. It's still the reserve fiat currency and the US still controls the SWIFT system for inter bank transfers. China unveiling the Digital Yuan is their way of getting away...

But it hasn't happened yet . You were moaning the other day about the EU not sticking up for Ukraine. Why would they when there is no EU army.

Every trip I've been on since 2014, I've either had everything paid for me, or I used the card I was sorted with

So this is what I heard about WeChat.

You can use your Mastercard or Visa credit/debit card for ID verification but can't use it to top up the WeChat balance . Is this correct?

To get money added to WeChat balance you need someone to send a red envelope of money.

Is this correct?

If anything in the past there has been too much zoning in to Israel and Palestine.

So much so that one could say why not concentrate on conficts in other parts of the world. Why the obsession with Israel?

He gets bashed for slowing the game down and box kicking, but there is no doubt he brings control.

They got less than 50% of the vote combined. In a parliamentary democracy you elect politicians on your behalf. SNP and Greens got 72 of the 129 seats. That's a majority. And a referendum requires the people to vote on a matter, any Scottish vote for independence would need a referendum, at the min...
