General / Re: UK libertarian movement
« on: September 07, 2008, 10:53:51 AM »
Just an update on this topic - I know this is an older thread.
There now is a libertarian party in the UK:
www.lpuk.org
I'd be interested to hear if anyone has had any dealings with them?
Also, I'd be interested to know if anyone knows anything about libertarian activity/ politics in Ireland/ N. Ireland.
In N. Ireland, we do have a devolved government - which is a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, because of paranoia, people in NI still, generally, vote in a very polarised manner - meaning we have extremism rampant in office.

The Show / Re: Shop Amazon, Help FTL!
« on: September 07, 2008, 10:35:05 AM »You're saying you went to http://amazon.freetalklive.com and did not get redirected to the uk site?
I initially tried amazon.freetalklive.co.uk and it didn't work. I then tried the amazon.freetalklive.com and, of course, it worked - but it would cost me more in shipping to order directly from the US Amazon.
Sometimes, in the past, to get the book/ cd/ whatever I required (which was not available via UK amazon), I would have had to order via US amazon and pay the extra shipping.
In this case, I was able to *choose* to be redirected from amazon.freetalklive.com to amazon.co.uk (where my desired items *were* availble) to have my order processed - however, I don't think it would have happened automatically.
I just want to be sure - as I do a lot of business with amazon.co.uk and would like to support the show via such - if you are definitely receiving the commission from my recent purchase in the aforementioned way.
Also - as some of my purchases were via amazon marketplace - do you still get the commission from such?

Hey all - just joined the forum.
I live in Northern Ireland but have started to listen to the show and enjoy it immensely.
I would do a lot of business both through AMAZON and PLAY.com.
MY question is this - I tried to order some books via the amazon/ FTL addy using the amazon.co.uk address and it didn't work. Instead, therfore, I went to the amazon/ FTL addy and chose to be re-directed to amazon.co.uk to process my order.
I'm just wondering if this got FTL the commission?
If not, it may be useful to extend the Amazon/ FTL addy to include amazon.co.uk
Also, might be usefult to contact play.com - they're a VERY popular uk site that is similar to Amazon.
