    You and I live in very different worlds. Mine has a Conservative government, an American retail store rarely out of sight, hyper sensitivity to any suggestion of anti-semitism, and there isn't a single newspaper published by the BBC.

    What strange mirror-verse Britain are you from?

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, that's pretty funny.   That crap service doesn't stand much of a chance in the U.S. let alone any chance anywhere else in the world, let alone China.  Good luck with that garbage.

    CurrectC has nothing to do with Google!!!  It's Wal-Mart's thing to get out of paying the credit card transation fee's!!!  They do that by having direct access to your bank account instead.  Of course you have zero protection unlike credit cards where you have protection under the law and a MAX $50 liability, which generally most people don't even have to pay that.  You don't have that with CurrentC.   A Debit only card also doesn't offer you the same protection.  A Debit credit card does.  

     

    But again, Google has nothing to do with CurrentC.  That's not Google Wallet.

Yes, I am serous, the venerable BEEB is considered by half of this country as a far left, untrustworthy, science supporting propaganda machine. Ironic considering what they consider 'news'. Hence the continual popping up of extremist right wing rhetoric here on AI and elsewhere in much of America. What is considered centrist in rest of the first world is just 'commie' here, especially in the southern and central States.</div></div><p><br />The BBC is a scum sucking entity that should just curl up and die IMO.

    I can see it has had a really bad effect on you :what:
    The BBC has no monopoly on news and doesn't do any of the things you suggest it does. Unless of course you are talking about a different BBC from the on based in the UK.

    You have probably been in Florida too long to notice :) The rot started about 10 years ago. Their bias is all about self preservation.

    This is so far from the truth it's embarrassing.  Have you ever been to the UK?  Any anti semitism here and you're seriously for it, and quite rightly too.  Ditto anti islamism, anti chritianism and anti atheism.  How do we start discussing apple pay problems entering China (which appear to be commercial i.e. the price per tx is lower in China) and wind up slagging off the UK?  Have to love AI.
