It baffles me, in view of present crime rates, how a site like this can put up for sale, imitation handguns which have a real look about them, catapults, blowguns, ammunition and more. Surely this should be regulated somehow. (Forgot to mention samuri swords and other long blades). Jok.

There was a documentary on last night about it. Jewellery full of lead and heavy metals, safety tools and harnesses with fake safety certificates. Medication and make up full of all sorts. 

..... China started a killer virus and had to face no investigation or consequences I doubt they will be held to account for anything. Don't forget it's only indigenous Britain's that must take responsibility for anything and pay the bills

I wouldn't trust them chain links as far as i could throw one of them.

Shocking mate some of them Evri delivery drivers on a par with some of them Amazon drivers then when you see some of the workload that's put on most parcel delivery drivers even though it's no excuse to not at least leve them safe.

My wife and daughter are constantly buying cheap crap on that site. I keep trying to point out that a) they're probably aiding child exploitation and b) helping to close down UK shops but she just says, "But it's SO cheap!"

I've had this discussion on here before, the thing is most of the stuff in UK shops is purchased from China its just rebranded and sold at x10 plus £.  Watch the "independent traders" on ebay slowly drop off as people catch wind they have been buying in bulk adding a mark up and selling on at a profit and nobody bats a eye lid as they put a union jack on their advert and claim they are a "UK trader". Unless we bring manufacturing back to the UK and stop screwing over the consumer TEMU and sites similar will be the only place to buy stuff before long.

Bingo !!……there you have it.

My wife was in the local paper shop this week, their electric bill was on the counter…..€2000 for the month !!!

Meanwhile, China don’t give a f**k and are opening coal fired power stations like Turkish Barber shops !

Us soft c**ts are getting absolutely done in the arse by European governments paying for the pretend “green” agenda (because building a gazillion new build houses for the population of Africa and the Middle East is obviously the greenest thing you can do !!) 

Tax, regulation, more tax, more regulation……China is doing none of that while our business owners fight like f**k just to pay the f***ing government !

Porch-pirates,big thing stateside where individuals will follow a delivery driver and nick the deliveries he drops on porches.

Drop shippers used to make decent cash,everyone’s at it now.

I’ve never been so I wouldn’t know mate, my point wasn’t about trying to dodge anything, more the levels it’s administered at and the extra hoops put in the way in the first place.

Off topic but I was chatting to a Chinese lady last night (she keeps a European hedgehog as a pet) we were discussing the local Chinese bloke who was arrested a couple of weeks ago for spying,a Brit Caucasian guy also arrested with him has been found dead.
