Question Modern Day Anarchy

Modern Day Anarchy

So I’m sat on hold to the Great consumer God blag-Mobile
And I’m listening to that music they’ve specifically chosen to try and make me more docile.

but I don’t want new contracts, upgrades or bling,
I want them to stop taking money from my account without asking
A process more commonly known as stealing.

But the tw@t on the line isn’t listening to me…
He’s like…‘Don’t leave us now Sophie, we’ll give you stuff free…’

STOP

My time isn’t free. No not anymore,
If my time were personified she’d be a whore
putting it about this way and that
Prostituting herself to the next bureaucrat,
getting fat…Off the misery of others.

That’s it now, I’ve had enough,
Off come the gloves, it’s time to fight tough.

Lets tear down the system, let’s rip it apart,
Lets see destruction pierce right through the heart
Lets riot in streets and burn great big flags.
Lets stick two fingers up to all greedy slags.

Just you try and hold us down...

Lets topple the monarchy; we’ll wear that crown.
Lets see rampant consumerism drown…

Oh yes I’ll protest, I’ll shout to the sky!

But tomorrow afternoon though, if you don’t mind,
cos today’s my appointment at Toni & Guy
and it’s Saturday night and I wanna get high…
forget about work, my sh!t boss and the rain.
But tomorrow afternoon, I will come to complain.

Cos I’m an Armchair Anarchist, that’s what I am,
I spend my free time creating more spam.
I’m an Armchair Anarchist, oh yes that’s me,
With my ‘Stop the War’ badge and my widescreen TV.

You see?

I’ll show my support to those trying to shut down DESO
(www.calltheshots.org)

The rally’s on Sunday?
Aw man, Gutted…
That’s when I do my weekly shop at Tesco.
And if I don’t get there early all the good stuff’s gone
and the parking’s a nightmare, it’s just f*cking wrong.
Look I’ll give you a tenner to put to the cause..
but my Visa’s at home and I forgot my purse.
So I’ll come on the next march; I promise I will
The one where you shout about foxes being killed
(ah, they’re so cute).

I even bank with the Co-op. Because…

I’m an Armchair Anarchist,
No arms dealers helped there, I buy all organic,
And coffee traded Fair.
Yes I’m an Armchair Anarchist, I’ll do what I can,
You can put my name down for a space in the van
For the riots on Mayday.
I’ll be there you’ll see,
I believe every man was born to be free.

Listen I’ve got to go now, can’t stop to chat
I’ve got a viewing on this really nice flat,
It’s got views of the river and great security
I’m gonna move into that one and rent mine out,
for a fee.
Make me some money,
so then I’ll call the shots,
And then I can tell my boss to go get… lost.

Oh, I believe every man was born to be free,
starting with me
Me and my rampant Armchair Anarchy...



so that was my little rant... i truly belive the main problem is that most people won't bother with court action, unless it makes enough money.. and a lot of people won't bother making a contibution to your site as it's too much trouble..
i read today that one person didn't cotribute as they don't have a Paypal account!!! they are able to log onto this site... understand the wealth of information provided FREE and then follow this up with court action... yet they are unable to set up a paypal account... erm... WHAT??

I think this site is a diamond and have told everyone i know about it... cheers!

Hear Hear Sophie. I agree with you if it wasn't for this site we wouldn't be getting our money back and really the donation comes out of the interest that you would'nt have had so it's no big deal. I fully intend to make a donation for each time I succeed and would be happy to do more to help if I could.

I m passing through even the smallest of claims, I always think every penny counts.

I read somewhere else on here, that to explain to other that if someone came up to your wallet and took £20 out of it would you, not call that theft - yes....well its the same with the bnks!!!

I odnt know why people dont donate, maybe they are fullof good intentions but when the cheque comethrough the dorr they're priorites change..

I did a claim on behalf of my friend who didnt have a PC or computer skills etc etc, they offered to give me money to do their claim, and I explained that there was no need as I would do it just to get the banks to stop ripping people off, but she could make a donation to this site (and I explained how it would work), cheque came two weeks ago for £2K, and Ive not heard from her since (not even a thanks).

You can never tell eh!!

Wink Re: Modern Day Anarchy

hey allyxia,

(i am rubbish at replying to stuff sorry!)

i live in a small village in north wales too... mad! (or is that a bit like being an american and saying 'hey you live in the uk... do you know the queen?'

anyway did you ever hear from your friend... i suppose i was hoping that she may have started to feel guilty and sorted you out... i think i will always be an optimist where people are concerned... and alway let down!!

anyway we just won 2 cases...
Smile paid up in full £998 before it went to court
halifax have just received a court judgement against them (hurrah) in our favour for £3018!!!
they just called to say they'll action the money being sent to us by mon!

.. hope you're doing as well with your claims..
cheers and merry christmas!
