I hadnt realised how much of a rip off Amazon UK is.....

Katadyn BeFree 1.0L Water Filter
Fast Flow, 0.1 Micron EZ Clean Membrane for Endurance Sports, Camping and Backpacking

$40 Amazon US


Same product in UK
£44

Last time I looked $1.30 to £££ so UK price should cost £31!!!!!!!!

So you're being screwed massively.

Think of those in Africa and Asia with far far less who live on a couple of bucks a day. No water, no regular food etc etc


Oh yes, and I'm sure they have more important things to worry about than stupid fake issues like Brexit.

Cheap is relative, <0.567 is the cheapest I've picked up in recent months.

150 million in lockdown.

Just a bad case of the flu many uneducated people claim!!!

China's draconian efforts to curb its spread tells you it is far far worse than the flu. They're willing to severely impact their economy to prevent its spread.

Tells you ALL you need to know

Too many whiners in the UK, figures show that 24% of Brits are unhappy with their lot.

My advice to these whiners, is get yourself off for a nice island holiday in the Caribbean, a nice suntan, a glass of Champagne and a Monte Cristo makes us all feel better.

?The big news today comes after David Frost's lecture last night at the Université libre de Bruxelles, in which he set out the UK's vision for its desired future Canada-style relationship with the EU.Frost dismissed the idea that EU courts would have a role in future trade disputes and said that "It is central to our vision that we must have the ability to set laws that suit us - to claim the right that every other non-EU country in the world has", sending out a clear message on the UK's vision moving forward.The EU also wants the UK to sign up to strict rules on fair and open competition. This is to ensure that  if the UK gains tariff-free access to the bloc's market that it cannot use this to undercut competition. However, Frost asked "How would you feel if the UK demanded that, to protect ourselves, the EU dynamically harmonise with our national laws set in Westminster and the decisions of our own regulators and courts?" saying that it would 'compromise the EU's sovereign legal order' and thus the same is true for the UK.In order to ensure the Canada-style trade deal Britain is looking for can be agreed, the EU has said its demands must be met, something that according to Frost, would undermine the whole project. Instead if no deal can be achieved and the EU won't compromise, trade would be governed by the WTO, similar to Australia's relationship with the EU.Frost also gave reassurances that it would not mean the UK lowered its standards, just that agreeing to accept all EU rules would betray the result of the referendum and that the ability to set our own laws "it isn't a simple negotiating position, which might move under pressure; it's the point of the whole project."Read David Frost's speech here.Portugal is set to introduce separate passport lanes for Britons after Brexit. They will be similar to those used by EU tourists, and UK nationals will not need a visa to travel even in the event of a no-deal. Portuguese Economy Minister Pedro Siza Vieira, said that British citizens resident in Portugal would also retain all their current rights and that they "are ready to do this unilaterally." adding he hoped the UK would do the same for Portuguese nationals.The EU's Green new deal represents a major shift in European policy. It outlines a power sector based largely on renewable sources, phasing out the use of coal and a stressed importance on energy efficiency. However, it also represents the EU's protectionist approach and will mean countries outside the bloc that do not adhere to the strict rules will be subject to trade penalties. It also highlights the EU's love of centralisation and heavy regulation. Countries attempting to set their own agenda on energy though, for example, nuclear sectors, will not see support. The additional funds for the project will come from the top member states and are already the subject of much disagreement.Digital free trade could offer a exciting opportunity for the UK, showcasing the global nature of the UK's future economy.  "Services account for over 80% of the British economy, the highest of all G7 countries, and these services are becoming increasingly digitised. We are a services superpower and we are increasingly becoming a digital superpower as well."For the latest news and developments throughout the day, please do follow @GlobalVision_UK on Twitter.Thanks for reading, and enjoy the rest of your day.
