I've mentioned this before and I got a tirade of "but why would they do that? More Project Fear!"

And lo! It came to pass...

But, before I go, let's have a detailed breakdown of why mobile companies will reimpose roaming charges.
Firstly, mobile companies are there to make a profit.

Secondly, removing roaming charges meant that a key bonus revenue stream was greatly curtailed.

Thirdly, see 'Firstly' and 'Secondly'.
I keep getting Quitlers screaming at me "what makes you such an expert?". Well, newsflash, I'm not. I just have a good grasp of the bloody obvious. The second you remove a law that helps consumers and stops companies fleecing them, those companies will milk it.
Literally none of this is complicated. All the things that you benefited from, they're going. Extra costs for individuals, for businesses, for everyone.

They didn't put that on the side of the bus.

Ok, it's time to address this idea that #FBPE is an anti-Corbyn-focused organisation.
It has become an increasingly popular trope of the pro-Corbyn, Momentum cult that #FBPE is out to get them.
A favourite way to undermine #FBPE by the #Corbyn/#Momentum crowd is to suggest that it is a being controlled by the right or 'shady billionaires' (which historians of World War II will remember is a nod towards Jewish money).

About a million years ago, I paid in to a pension for about ten minutes. Each year, @AvivaUK send me a statement of what I can look forward to.
They also tell me how much @AvivaUK's charges are and how much my pot went up by...
All I'm saying, @AvivaUK is that it's possible that your advice is rubbish and that, if you cost me over £100 a year in losses and charges, there will be zero pension by the time a retire.

You'll be alright, though.

And I suppose that is what counts.

A quick message to all children (including adult ones!) of alcoholic parents

Christmas Day is going to be difficult. There's no way round that. But Santa gave you an immense gift - the ability to survive. #joinin #IAmCOA #COA @NacoaUK
You aren't responsible for your parent's drinking or the things they've said and done while drunk. Their issues aren't yours. They have to fight their own demons. You cannot help.

Be there for YOU.

#joinin #IAmCOA #COA @NacoaUK
You will get through today. You WILL.

If you can, put them to the back of your mind and enjoy everything around you. If you can't avoid them, give yourself as much space as possible.

1) history rewritten, how "No Deal" #Brexit came from nowhere to be official brexiter policy

The brexit process has given us a remarkable insight into how history can be rewritten

Everyone apparently voted for no deal brexit even though it was rarely mentioned pre referendum
2) Firstly, the Brexit sold in the referendum was "Cost free cakeism" Brexit. Vote leave might promote Norway or other versions as temporary examples but basically, it was going to be easy, we held all the cards and they needed us more than we needed them
3) it is truly *bizarre* that brexit supporters forget this.
"We knew it would be difficult/costly/disruptive" is a constant comment on Twitter

How? Because certainly no leave leader said it would be & the constant image was a £350 M bonus for the NHS

THREAD: Some notes and thoughts from reading "Fear" yesterday. Firstly, as @HeathaT points out, it pays to collaborate on these projects: Bannon, Porter and Cohn seem major sources and all come off pretty well.
Some anecdotes: When Bannon was first asked to chat to Trump about a presidential run in 2010, he replied: "I don't have time for fucking nonsense...this guy's not serious.
In the subsequent meeting, Trump is told it's a problem that history shows him to be "very pro-choice."
Trump's response: "What does that mean?"
He is told what pro-choice means.
"That can be fixed," he says. "You just tell me how to fix that. I'm—what do you call it? Pro-life."

Unresolved recusal & financial issues require a pause in the Kavanaugh hearings

Mueller will accept some written answers from Trump.

Trump said condemning white supremacists was ‘biggest f---ing mistake I’ve made’: Woodward book

The accusations sending tremors through the Catholic Church are a concerted and dubious attack by ultraconservatives on Pope Francis.

Project MKUltra, also called the CIA mind control program, is the code name given to a program of experiments on human subjects that were designed and undertaken by the United States Central Intelligence Agency—and which were, at times, illegal.
Experiments on humans were intended to identify & develop drugs & procedures to be used in interrogations in order to weaken the individual and force confessions through mind control.
MK Ultra program engaged in many illegal activities, including the use of U.S. and Canadian citizens as its unwitting test subjects, which led to controversy regarding its legitimacy.

Before I lose the idea. R76 and wax museum challenge.
I'm thinking Jack as a journalist, challenged to do the "one night in a wax museum" thing. (Since he lost a bet in his journalist company).

His boss wants a segment of his experience or something so Jack takes a vid camera, sleeping bag, notebooks and some necessities
His bet requires him to set up in the 'murderers' section for maximum fear factor and what not. Jack admits he's a little scared cause everything looks so real.

One of the statues is a guy called Gabriel Reyes. The story was that he murdered people around the city.
