People don’t buy what they want to buy, they buy what the constant barrage of advertising tells them to buy. Starting with those most susceptible, then peer pressure gets added to the adverts, add in government lobbying and a list of other underhanded tricks, and bosh, job done.

E-cigs, wank tanks, social media, “designer products”, the list goes on.

Biased how?

As the empirical truth tends to consistently show right wing arguments as an utter shower of shit, if truth isn’t a matter of opinion that would make them wrong… And that simply cannot be true, obviously.

She willingly took on responsibility for the shitshow, risk/reward. She happens to be holding the bag when the music is stopping, I couldn’t care less how long she personally has been in the role.

It’s not like this class of people works harder than others, so that massive fucking pay packet has to be for something. I assume it’s for the risk of taking on the responsibility.

“Something went wrong” with the system they’re ultimately responsible for, the system that they’ve stripped to the bone in search of growth in a saturated naturally monopolistic market.

Loss of bonuses should be the least of their fucking worries. -.-

Totally not a bubble, honest guv!

I’d imagine so. It worked well for the energy backbone of the country, the water supply and sewage system, and the education system, to name but a few.

Throw in the hills of Sheffield, and I’m driving around having to rev the balls off in 2nd, or labour the fuck out of it and kill it trying to do it in 3rd.

Less of an issue if your car is an oversized wanktank, like most. See, the bigger problem is the American influence on our vehicles; stupidly large, unnecessarily heavy, consuming more fuel to move, and doing more damage to roads and whatever mommy hits between the house in suburbia and little fucking Timmy’s football practice half a mile up the road.

Tax vehicles by a multiplicative factor of physical size, weight, and engine displacement, with a reduction for electric powertrain, or part thereof, and watch the gormless SUV craze end in a fucking hurry.

Whereas my 998cc, 3 cylinder, 3rd hand car requires screaming the tits off it in 2nd to get around the hills of Sheffield at 20mph. GG.
