How many of us would like to put elections (sic) through our elected representatives (and quite a lot of them)? And a lot more through the members of the cabinet too...
I can't believe how they are sitting on their hands and doing nothing about so many things just now. Pig farmers' problems, no oversight comittee for the trade deals being concluded, no lorry drivers after the testing was suspended last year, no real action on any part of a green agenda... Is there anything that they are doing at all - let alone doing right?
I wonder how they keep a straight face while claiming to be a "government?"
Maybe we ought to avoid politics here, but when the P******s currently in charge do nothing to address the biggest challenges we are facing then what is the alternative? Our individual actions can never reverse the damage done by (or turn round) the ship of state

And I guess to be technically correct as you will be receiving AC current, its more of an agitation of your local electrons, but either way, you will be closer to the electrical influence of RT2 than me. :D

Although I'll be closer to RT1. :mrgreen:

I note there are "gift cards" for ripple, would be nice to be able to buy those now to use on your own account & up the early pre-subscription cost, is that possible?

Also how long do you think this one will take to subscribe & start (bearing in mind it is now more mainstream, increased awareness & the organising people have got the first (Graig Fatha) beyond "pipe dream" status.

If Mart is listening, how about you get your cat rescue place in on board i'd happily throw in £25 for them to buy a few watts..
Have you thought about getting them to talk to ripple maybe & having a bunch of charity "gift card" watts investments that could click onto as a fundraiser to go directly into a charities share account?
