Might not even be able to afford the APR on a CC after Brexit anyway 

One can only imagine the mess they're going to make of negotiating bespoke free trade agreements across the other nations, given the Keystone Cops approach up to know.

Pretty sure the only thing the UK will be able to negotiate importing at a decent rate will be the Corona virus from China.

Speaking of importing viruses from China, what if some Chinese eBayers were infected and they were shipping the items to all over the world, items that they had sneezed on/coughed on or touched and then those items now being infected you know get put into a sealed bag and sending the virus on a journey to then infect the recipients of the packages. Also there are reports some infected people are going around spitting on doctors and other people to deliberately infect others as well as spitting on buttons in elevators.

Whilst this virus might not be the one the snuffs out humanity, i'd say it's probable that a scenario like it is what brings an end to things - not climate change

On the plus side, it'll be good for the USA, wha hey! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51276323 Good old Uncle Sam, looking out for number 1. 

Don't tend to pay much attention to the figures being banded about because, you know, they're coming from China.

Happy Brexit Day where all our dreams come true

First port of call is to revoke the CC card ban now we are free from the wicked EU.

No, wait. That was us.

My deepest and most sincere condolences to all fellow UK forum members. Have zero doubts Brexit will very soon end up as Britain's most catastrophic mistake of last 100 years!

I’m hopeful that the Germans will invade us to restore efficiency. 
 

The sight of Farage waving those Union Jacks made me vomit into my laptop bag. Cringe.

Once Scotland votes for Independence and Northern Ireland edge closer to the Republic it’ll be just you and the English

[pinnit2015]

Think I should have been born in Poland or Germany.

Maybe see if they’re still taking applications

I know the future is uncertain but I have to stand by my decision to vote out for a better future for my children. Personally I don’t think Bexit will massively affect our future but those of the younger generation and I have every faith I made the right decision. I guess only time will tell. 
 

In regards to Wales being left with the English, I think it’s best we don’t think about that one too much Carnage!

Getting ready for 11pm tonight

But, tbh, that's far too cool.

This is more apt

Rule Brit....nope.

And we're out

But fear not, Scotland will be back in it in a few years once Indyref2 gets the predicted Yes vote 

Yes, from Churchill to Boris....not much of a difference and/or fall from grace.

This?

I imagine a second Scottish vote in the coming years, voting out of the UK.

Northern Ireland will stay as it'll be mayhem if anythings proposed there

54000 laws to pick through - as if. They're staying.

Next 5-10 years are just going to be series of attempts to put trade deals in place - that'll take up the bulk of it i imagine.

Yeah exactly. This is what I was saying to someone the other day. I don’t think there’ll be any immediate changes, we’ll have time to adjust our lives before they happen.

For starters, this should definitely be another bank holiday Bexit day I mean! That should be first on their agenda

Farage - 'The War Is Over - We have Won'

Singing the national anthem and flags on sticks.

Make it stop. 

I'm off to Krakow in a few weeks for a long weekend - might see if they'll keep me. 

There are valid points against a super state EU but unfortunately they've been lost amidst a sea of hate fuelled, foreigner despising, nationalism. 

Luckily i have dual nationality so time to whip out the Irish Passport when needed.

In keeping with UKGC - Told operators to cease reversals

https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/news-action-and-statistics/News/gambling-commission-instructs-tighter-measures-to-protect-consumers-during-lockdown

Not convinced that stopping reversals is primarily a RG issue - on some occasions it possibly could increase the problem (money in quickly, money out to casino  -rinse and repeat)

[ValDes]

IMHO, the main idea behind this particular action is obvious - cut the verification crap which some UKGC licensed operators still continue to impose upon first withdrawal and/or upon reaching the relevant AML thresholds. And I welcome this one with both hands.  

[pinnit2015]

I'd really like to get two reps round the table

1. Someone from Sky Vegas/Bet365

2. Someone not them

Reason being, i'd love to know why 1. do not engage in any verification nonsense/SOW (in the main) and why 2. do. Either 1 are breaking all their licence conditions (which, i doubt) or are looser with them or are doing it right. Yes, electronic verification is easier if UK operation but why, for example, do 1 not ask for screenshot of paypal etc

[pinnit2015]

Weirdly the update says don't send bonus offers to those identified as being at risk of gambling issues...er, shouldn't be doing that anyway
