Welcome to The UK where:
£100 now feels like £10
£500 now feels like £50
£1000 now feels like £100
You're taxed on absolutely everything.
Going somewhere on a train costs more than leaving the country on an airplane.
Going to the shop for a few bits now costs you as much as a weekly shop did a couple of years ago.
Rent and bills have doubled in the last few years.
You're not struggling to save money because you buy coffee, have subscriptions and actually spend some of your money on something other than bills.
You're struggling because the people in charge are taking advantage of hard working people, rinsing you for every penny they can and making everything as expensive as they can.
This all seems to be a ploy to link IP addresses and online activity directly to an identifiable person to make them easier to catch and track down. The government falsely assumed that everyone watches porn and they thought they would get everyone that way. It obviously did not work as well as they were hoping so they are now expanding it. (I have always said that initial laws are just a foot in the door, those laws will always be expanding after the fact into their true original intended purpose).
So their plan now is if you want to use any social media or much of the internet in any way, you will need to prove that you are over 18 which means submitting an ID. This will require far far more ID submissions which will massively expand the government database, which was the real plan all along, not the safety of children.
The funniest thing about this is after all the fuss about the Online Safety Act, this blanket ban on kids using social media pretty much renders the entire act pointless and made it a giant waste of time. Which to be honest, proves that the act was never about protecting children but was really about building a giant database that links all online activity directly to a person.
This database would then be constantly poured over by AI to flag "citizens of concern" to the government who may be potential political dissidents, saying naughty anti-government things etc so the government can pre-emptively act against them.
Minority Report. This is literally the plot of Minority Report.
🚨 | Luca Cordero di Montezemolo on the new Ferrari Luce:
"If I said what I really think, I'd harm Ferrari. We're risking the destruction of a myth, I'm very sorry about that. I hope they at least remove the Prancing Horse from that car"
@AutoInfatuation Ah fair enough! Lovely lumps, they really do love to be revved the N5x petrols.
Remove the air box lid on an E9X 330i and you're rewarded with some silly intake noises too 🤣
Survived another ring trip.
Shaved over a minute over my last BTG time and this old girl was genuinely impressive on track (and on the autobahn...). Can't wait to go back
@AutoInfatuation E92 330i for me. Lots of money to be spent on injectors and fuel pumps on the 53, just like the N54.
Once you're over that hurdle though you're left with a very chatacterful and actually very efficient engine. 45mpg down to the ring!
