Today I told Deliveroo I no longer want to use them. It galls me that they charge 35% on everything I sell through their platform, making more money on food than I do.
Currently I am forced to sell a £10 dish at £15.50, a £15 dish at £23. On top of this they charge customers delivery fees / charges

Thames Water who are £21bn in debt and just raised their customers bills by £800m a year, have given their executives a 50% bonus totalling more than £5m.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

A bunch of incel wannabe frat boys are attempting to destroy our government so they can rape and pillage among the spoils. This is the most dangerous moment in this country’s history, and anyone who’s not fighting back in some form or fashion is complicit in our ruination.
