Now peddling ‘building immunity’ - what a fucking prick.

Why does the media give him such disproportionate attention?
Cunt obviously hasn’t read the script. There is no fucking immunity.

They should just keep asking for his qualifications in interview like paxman did with Michael Howard, then end the interview

Karma for buying something from the tax dodgers in the first place

all my non food shopping comes from them…
Download pricing versus CDs - what a mess.
The new-ish Muse album (sue me), > £13 for a FLAC download.
CD £3.79 delivered from eBay.
Sort it out.
And they wonder why people still copy music…
I guess it’s the job of business to set the price point as high as they think they can get away with. Because when your phone is your whole life what use would a CD be ?

Well you could download it to your phone 
…if you have some means to rip a CD - which most people under the age of 40 won’t, and those that do will mainly be because they have a “legacy” laptop or external drive. As Graeme implies, twatphones are most people’s only media device nowadays, with perhaps a large screen to cast-to at home.
Similarly under 40s wouldn’t buy, they’d stream.
For me it’s quite a complex trade off between stream, buy download, buy CD. There’s the ballache of ripping the CD, the eco guilt of the plastic CD and shipping, etc. But when there’s such an egregious difference in price I’ll go for the CD.
I’m suggesting that a paid download that is 4 * the price of the CD is a miscalculation in what you can get away with charging when buying downloads and ripping CDs are similarly niche.
I know that, I was just being a cunt, I learned from a good teacher

Mate, you’re the fucking headmaster! 
I’m with you, though my main concern is that the artist continues to fail to get their fair share of said inflated prices. Moving away from physical media should have been a chance for musicians to finally have some control of the retail of their music, but of course the whole “we’re artists, not businessmen” thang means control remains with the usual exploitative cunch of bunts.
There’s no way whatsoever that I’ll pay these inflated prices for downloads, just so I can catch a nasty dose of iTunes and have everything I “own” deleted from my computer, or indeed, the inevitable hard-drive crash-n-burn cos I’m far too lazy of a cunt to keep my backups up-to-date…

Fuck me, does Apple still wipe downloads off your phone. Lol, wankers.
And again, totally with you.
Muse, I don’t give a shit about hence I have no problem buying what is obviously overstock CDs from eBay.
The great bulk of what I buy is from individual, frequently independent artists via Bandcamp, preferably on Bandcamp Friday. This is very deliberate.

No idea mate - that’s just my personal paranoia following a laptop flustercluck some years back - the Wunderfool Wurld of Twatphones remains well beyond my ken as I’m still using my Nokia 6310i from 20 years ago…
“Our new album is out today. Please buy it now”

“Oh shit! Bandcamp Friday is next week! Please don’t buy it until next week!”
