Time for a PEP talk

There's the rub, banks have become too powerful

You can opt out of any new consumer benefits that will come about from this

Why should someone who had a personal account and a business account be limited to a absolute stripped down basic account.

I presume you have one or more accounts.

Would you not be outraged if your bank decided tomorrow to close your account ?

Well, if they fail to meet the qualifying conditions, for a start.

You presume correctly, but, I endeavour to fulfil my obligations, in terms of qualifying conditions.

There are many things in life about which I am "outraged" that doesn't mean the UK Government should intervene and/or that they should be made illegal.

 

[glasgowcyclist]

So nothing illegal.

Correct, perfectly legal to close his account when he fails to meet the terms and conditions.

For now

For now

It isn't going to change, Andy, for several connected reasons:

1) Parliament is in reccess until 4th September. By the time they return something else will occupy the headlines.

2) The Tory government are not really interested in this debacle other than for an opportunity to make political capital in its culture war position of being against the (confected) 'woke elite', which it is trying to pretend is represented by Labour.

The reason they are not interested is that they cannot take action against something that doesn't exist. (see also the confected outrage over sex Ed in schools)

3) The Tory support for Farage represents nothing other than a sort of ephemeral symbiosis of mutual convenience. They will turn on each other soon enough when it suits them (see also Farage attacking govt. over small boats).

Some big words in there, Andy. Let's see if you can do a little better with them than your bed-wetting gammon colleague.

Some big words in there

Used, as always, to hide the lack of meaning.

than your bed-wetting gammon colleague.

Wet the bed as well now do I?

At least I wouldn't then be full of wind and p*ss.

And all because someone disagrees with you on the internet.

 

[Bromptonaut]

PLease, can we stop the insults or post them in the appropriate ya boo thread.

 

[multitool]

Used, as always, to hide the lack of meaning.

"Ephemeral symbiosis" means short-term relationship of mutual benefit.

Do you understand what that means?

 

[Pale Rider]

"Ephemeral symbiosis"

Did you really use that as well?

I only had a quick glance.

Internet bullshite overload.

[CXRAndy]

Do you understand what "short-term relationship of mutual benefit" means?

What, like one night stand,

 

[Pale Rider]

"short-term relationship of mutual benefit"

Why not say that, instead of this dross:

ephemeral symbiosis of mutual convenience

Do you ever read your stuff back, or use cobblers phrases like that down the pub?

Or drop them into everyday conversation?

You think it makes you sound smart, it doesn't, it makes you sound quite the reverse.

 

[multitool]

Why not say that, instead of this dross:

Ah, so you do understand what
"short-term relationship of mutual benefit" means.

And yet you called the phrase "ephemeral symbiosis":

cobblers phrases

and

Internet bullshite overload.

and said it was..

Used, as always, to hide the lack of meaning.

Schrodinger's* phrase. Simultaneously has and hasn't meaning.

A megabrain like you must be aware that you've just contradicted yourself.

For somebody who throws around the epithet "dumb", the irony of you asking me to dumb down my language just for you is delicious

*look it up.

 

[Pale Rider]

Using long words when shorter ones will do, as you routinely do, is a definition of bullshite.

I know you think it gives you some sort of superiority, but it really doesn't, quite the reverse.

It just makes you look like a pompous tw*t.
