After fighting the GP's automated booking system (featuring a fucking A.I. called Andy), talking to 111, talking to a GP receptionist without problem solving skills, and ultimately brute forcing my way through an online referral I finally have an appointment. With, I shit you not, a Dr Mario.

I like to give people alternatives to using Amazon for sending me gifts but apparently the evil empire has now gotten wise to me and presumably others doing this and fucking REDACTED website links like it's a government report on alien life.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.
We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.
