    You mean like every British prime minister who was ever elected? "Where there is discord, may we bring harmony." [Margaret Thatcher, 1979] That worked out well didn't it? :D

    Hillary / US Election Thread

    It's not just about money though. Clinton had the entire mass media, the Democrat Party machine, the unions, Wall Street, Goldman Sachs, George Soros and the Saudis behind her campaign whereas Trump didn't even have the Republican Party machine behind him yet he still won.

    The problem with Talk Talk and every other service provider except Virgin is that they rent their lines from BT wholesale. That means if the line goes wrong you first have to contact your service provider who then have to contact BT Openreach who frankly couldn't give a stuff about anyone except...

    Poll Tax, Bedroom Tax, withdrawal of sickness benefits from people with terminal illnesses, arbitrary raising of the state retirement age, anti-union laws, fracking.
