Millennium Qi Charging


I've heard at least three pro-Brexit MPs using the Millennium Bug Artifice in the last few days. The artifice maintains that the downside of Brexit is overblown, rather like the Millennium, or Y2K Bug, which came to nothing.

The reason the Millennium Bug never bit hard was precisely because the problem was recognised and fixed before it became an issue; computers that didn't have the fix did in fact have problems, some serious. It's like saying measles isn't an issue while ignoring the fact most people are immunised against it as children. It displays either a childlike naivete or a breathtaking desire to mislead - on past track record, more likely the latter.

Brexit has become like watching the fall of the Roman Empire in very fast forward mode. If we actually leave (which I still don't believe we will) we will see the final humiliation of a once great country as it is destroyed from within by corruption.

About a month ago I bought a Qi wireless charging pad on Amazon for £14.99 and it has proven worthless.


It more often doesn't charge my phone than it does. On Saturday I spotted a wireless charger in Lidl and thought; "Oh well, let's try this one - it's only £12.99."


Works first time, every time, without fail.
