Hey people, welcome back!
This episode has a slight difference in tone to the others, we are mainly focused on one topic throughout (hard to believe I know!). That topic? Well it's THE topic for vapers right now, advocacy and the damned foolish regulations that are being imposed on the sale, distribution and manufacture of vape products.
We mainly focus on the EU regulations (as that's what effect us most), but please do make sure you check out whats happening in your corner of the world as it's grim all over, fucking 1984 is here man!! :P
Key points of discussion include 100Thousdand campaign, an upcoming protest march in London, and the always informative and excellently articulate Clive Bates and his look at the AG decision on the Totaly Wicked E-Liquid case against Article 20 of the TPD.
This as I said a slight change of tone, and apologies I kind of dominate, when I get ranty I get ranty :P
Also I pull apart a letter I received from my local MP Lucy Fraser, to which I will be responding and keeping you all up to date with.
Plus:
Guest appearance from my cat Yuki
PayPal and Bitcoin
Bloodbowl and our first non losses
