"It's also really slow and liable to explode at any moment, so don't seriously use it."
I find it highly amusing though
``EU plans to regulate hormone-damaging chemicals found in pesticides have been dropped because of threats from the US that this would adversely affect negotiations for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP)''
They shouldn't drop them, we should regulate freely and be removed from TTIP. Being involved in TTIP isn't a privilege or in any way desirable, it's an undemocratic exercise in futility. So, to me, being ejected is a win-win scenario.
I suspect the £75 'donation' came from their 'fundrazr' page: https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/4sSf3/
You seem to have to join via this fundraising site. It's mildly concerning that their participant login site seems to be coming up with an SSL error too ( https://www.microbio.me/BritishGut ). This site also takes you back round to the fundraising page when you select the menu option to join.
