Aha Royal Mail is also beginning with this new service-where you pay them to get the right to pick up your stuff at the store.

On Ireland again:

He explained that while the Good Friday Agreement brought the armed conflict to an end, it didn't change how people there coexist.
"We never got to grips with the fundamental building blocks of how to create a new society where people -- Catholics and Protestants -- can live together, or how you create a society where we can talk about what happened from 1969 to 1998," Byrne told CNN.

The peace project is "so fragile, it's built on sand," he added, explaining that it is neither mature enough nor embedded into society enough to deal with the pressures that Brexit, the Northern Ireland protocol, or a global pandemic present.

My reasoning.

Things are a bit like it was expected, but not as bad as the EU has hoped.

It has been 100 days since the British left the EU on January 1st, and it has been more than four and a half years since the referendum that initiated the exit. Time to take stock. In which areas have the terrible fears come true, in which were they exaggerated in advance - and how will things go from here?

What will irish or scottish people think about those videos? Do brexiters think they will win anyone to their side and against the EU with it, or is it just to generally increase hate and diversion in the UK


edit: just saw where Jim's last video is from: https://www.repglobal.net/

"Republicans global", and when you look for the channel info:
"UK NO. 1" "REP WAVE REPGLOBAL.NET"
https://www.youtube.com/c/REPGlobal/about
Real server location seems is in India (Luân Đôn), but initiated by Russia whatever they write who is responsible.
Or maybe Trump https://www.zoominfo.com/c/repglobal-content/345010403, here it is listed as being in Connecticut, and
"Employees: 5
Revenue: $974,000"
Website: www.repglobal.net

Location: UK [edit: No. Or maybe. So India? Russia? UK? US?]
"Fishy" doesn't quite cover it, although baiting is included

If you click on "About" on the site, this pops up:

"A Big Beautiful News Site. I have to say, we did a great, great job. Everybody’s talking about it. Nobody thought it was possible to build a Site like this.
It’s never been done before, but we got the job done and we did a tremendous job. That I can tell you. Everyone is now saying, its the best news site ever built, in the whole world. That’s just what I had heard.
You are gonna love it, It’s going to be amazing."

"MADNESS!" indeed, sounds familiar

SNP manifesto: A vote for SNP will give Nicola Sturgeon 'permission' for indyref2

Nicola Sturgeon has said that a “simple majority” of pro-independence MSPs in the Holyrood election would give her “permission” to hold a second independence referendum.

Launching her party manifesto, the First Minister said her intention was that a second vote would be held in 2023, if the Covid crisis is over, and if Scots vote yes the next Scottish Parliament elections “would be for the first independent government”.

Ms Sturgeon said there was “no moral or democratic justification” for Boris Johnson to block a referendum, with the manifesto stating that if the Prime Minister continues to refuse a section 30 order, the SNP would pass a Referendum Bill at Holyrood and fight the UK Government in the courts.

Brexit has given the UK back its independence and boosted innovation, inventor Sir James Dyson has said.

"We've got our freedom, we can make trade agreements with other countries outside Europe [and] we can employ people from all around the world," Sir James told the BBC.

The latest statistics for February show UK exports to the EU remain below the same level last year.

He also defended moving Dyson's global headquarters to Singapore in 2019.

At the time, the pro-Brexit entrepreneur was accused of "hypocrisy", after claiming the UK would gain more from leaving the EU than it would lose.

"We're a British company - I've put a lot into this country," he said.

"I can't make things here and bring over all the components from the Far East here, assemble them here and then send them back to the Far East. That just doesn't work."

The interview came as Dyson announced plans to create 200 new jobs at its research facilities in Malmesbury and Hullavington, Wiltshire.
