I am having problems downloading material from the 2000ad rebellion account AND apple app AND android app. The downloading issues first affected my ipad. At that time I could access my progs through an android device. Last week I've written an email to the rebellion-support, concerning the apple-app. Now I can't download anything, apple and andoid app are breaking the download up. Even the access over the rebellion-account is difficult. Downloading is very slow and breaks up after a few minutes.


Does anybody else have these issues?

I just told the video shop bloke that my mum had said it was okay - no further proof needed!

My two years younger cousin and I, 11 years old, rented Alien and The Thing. We watched it as a double feature with the family... Yeah, Alien still gives me the creeps at 42.

TVP Info, a Polish broadcaster, has leaked a 9-page document,[...]

Not exactly a leak, reuters reportet at 25th of June: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-eu-germany-france-idUSKCN0ZC0BQ

"Acknowledging that the European Union is "being severely put to the test", Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Jean-Marc Ayrault said the bloc was challenged by a series of crises to its south and east while economic growth was on a slow recovery path. Work on the paper began before Britain voted on Thursday to quit the EU."

But interesting that UK isn't involved.

The right wing can't the problem - Greece has a left wing government and look at the state it's in right now.  Clearly the problem is socialism and we need to go further to the right to correct this.

This is a joke isn't it?

The dynasties of central PASOK / right ND governments rotating since 1970 are mainly responsible for the crisis. Whole generations of them are in politics since forever.

SIRIZA got elected 2015 and are a scapegoat. Every cut is dictated by Germany, IWF and Brussels.

But it's worth pointing out to you that the other Partner in government are ANEL, a is a conservative, national-conservative, and right-wing political party.

And they are good partners until now. Greeks, heh?

Germany are the power behind enforcing the steep bailout on Greece, which looks like the repayments are gonna fail again in the next month or so.

This is politics, I believe that everything will go on, as is. And Schäuble is very quiet these days because of the possible Brexit. This is the moment I have to state that I live in Germany.

I have read that suicides are up around 35% since all this began and that many people are sick of it all.

Maybe, I don't know how high they are, and 35% what from? There are only 10 million Greeks. I haven't seen a total number of suicides yet.
The poor are indeed suffering. The people I know in Greece are not-so-poor. They are unhappy about the taxes and cuts, but have options.

We all know that part of the problem was that taxes were not being paid across the board and that the retirement age was pretty impressive, to say the least.
Correct. But not everyone was so privileged. People had little income; not paying taxes helped them survive. The big ones don't pay and never will.  The whole government was corrupt for ages and generations.

It's numerous things like this that tell me Greece are not having a great time of it.
Do you want to see Photos from my Facebook feed? Maybe you shouldn't...Its summertime over there. Why shouldn't they have fun after all, life is too short to worry over taxes and they live in beautifull Greece.

Obviously I could be wrong on all this but there's only so much time in the day to read up on everything, unless you are Legendary ;)

Hi sharky...

The problem is not the EU, it's the rightwing conservatism and neoliberalism, that raves in every country/government in the last 15-25 years. They see everyone as a resource (there are so many of us) trying to increase the profit and decrease the cost of keeping us alive.

So, leaving the EU is not solving any problem. The People from our Governments are the ones sitting in Brussel and making decisions.

Are Greece enjoying all the safety nets of the EU?

Yes we do.

The EU tried to throw us out a year ago, isn't it? Well Germany tried its best.

And not understanding why Greece did and DOES everything to stay in, is you problem in a nutshell. And it's not only for the money coming from the EU, because that money goes directly to Banks.

Who is to gain if you go? For the poor People it's going to be a disaster.
You should stay IMHO.

A guy with an assault rifle kind of stands out in a crowd, he didn't just materialise inside the club. He had to get through the door. Had to walk down the street to get to the door.

I still feel bad though but it would have been silly attending when I had no intention of taking it if offered.

Nah, you called, emailed and explained everything. That is all you can do and it's their problem AND their job to find out.

Enjoy the rest of the day please, you got a new job! (congrats!)

I can't believe no one's mentioned Dredd's helmet being found charred. Surely this means he can't have been teleported out?

It's a helmet yes, but is it Dredds? I don't know...


- Rico/Coburn (Dredd, sniff..) is great
- Lawless is what I was waiting for in 2016
- Realm of the damned... Ehrm... the art is good. Story does nothing for me.
- Dust-Dredd, good art, story Ok.

are we going to have a  discussion thread on this? or just ignore the elephant.


Yeah, maybe we'll need counselling [spoiler]for the Dredd Junkies like me[/spoiler].

Well, I am not happy about it. I'm actually rather angry, but the anger turns gradually to resignation. And I have no Idea if I really want to read this prog.
