  • I think it’s a pretty bold statement to claim that the Internet today is worse than it was 20 years ago before things were being monetised.

    People still do stuff just for the sake of it. To be fun, helpful, whatever. However to expect things to just be done for us out of the kindness of people’s hearts I think is bordering on entitled.



  • I think any Tory leader would’ve been forced to do the same as Cameron did in that political climate. I know he made the actual decision to have a referendum which was arguably the worst decision in the recent history of our country, but I think with the impact UKIP was having at the time, it was relatively inevitable.

    Similar to how the SNP making such huge gain is what forced a Scottish independence referendum.

    Edit: I also dread to think about the ‘what if?’ would be like if we didn’t have Covid to kind of push Bojo out.













  • Debit cards in the UK generally don’t let you go overdrawn.

    Like if I try to buy something and don’t have enough in my account I just get told ‘you can’t buy this’ and have to go transfer some more money to my account.

    I pay a £5 monthly fee, but that gets me travel insurance, breakdown cover, mobile phone cover and a bunch of other benefits that I haven’t had to use yet.

    I could opt out of that £5 fee and not pay anything at all for my banking. I find all the fees you end up with in the US a little bit insane.
