I think Fair phone with eos is the "least evil" option but you won't be able to use most banking apps or contactless payment.

This is the answer. 1 square to 300ml water works well.

Also the blacka and gold box is best!

The $700 you give Google for a pixel is only going to erode your privacy further and personally I wouldn't trust any device made by them, regardless of the OS.

Edit to say you are basically just rewarding their behaviour.

Iran launched drones at the UK bases on Cyprus and Riyadh long before any announcement that the UK would let the US use them.

I'm definitely opposed to the war with Iran but let's put facts first; Iran through their proxies have been indiscriminately firing on ships in the gulf for nearly a decade and when the US and Israel attacked them they launched missiles and drones at pretty much every cluster of buildings near to the Gulf with no concern for what they might hit or any apparent strategy.

The fact is Iran are going to attack UK bases whether the UK is involved or not.

Yes there's currently live updates on BBC and a couple of articles. Why would you ask?

You forgot finance, visa and MasterCard should not exist outside of the US.

I can see it and I'm not using VPN?

That's all very well but 1) I'm reading this using firefox with clean cookies and.ublock origin and the block is still there. And 2) a cookie paywall is a defacto paywall.

For those of you wondering if you might have been affected but can't find out because the article is paywalled: Lloyds, Bank of Scotland and Halifax are the ones affected.

Yep, I don't have kids but my yearly isp change comes with the added joy of disabling the parental controls.

They have run out of money and apparently will now only build 550m of it!

Well.. red is for blood, the flag is square shaped and the stars are different sizes of tanks.
