Rosalind Pay

I've just blocked a follower I've had for years. I followed him back too. He's always commented on and agreed with my political posts. I don't know why I did it today but I looked at his profile page and the first few posts are of him (an unattractive fat man in his 60s maybe), naked and masturbating. This isn't or shouldn't be a platform for pornography or perverts. Elon Musk and X need to crack down on this. It's disgusting. 🤮

Stop paying them. Just stop it! I read a post this morning by @claire_adams694 saying her energy provider wants to increase her monthly direct debit payments. Well, I was shocked by the replies. Shocked by the fact so many of you pay by direct debit. Just handing over whatever these large organisations tell you to, whether you owe it or not. I don't have any direct debits. None. My meters for gas, electric and water are read quarterly (or you can do it monthly if you prefer) and the readings are submitted online to the provider and it automatically generates a bill based on your actual usage. So you only give them your money for what you've used. The same with council tax. I pay monthly. If they forget to collect my garden waste bin one week, I'll deduct a pro rata amount from my monthly council tax payment to teach them a lesson. It might only be £2 but it's my £2. Not theirs. A friend recently told me her energy company have advised her she's £1,000 in credit. And she's still paying them an amount by direct debit every month too. Why? Just why? Why are you giving these companies more than they're owed? Do you give Tesco £100 every week when your grocery shop is only £80? Of course you don't. So why do you do that with your energy company? If they're just sitting on £100 of yours a year, times that by every customer and they're earning millions in capital and interest. Keep your £100. Or £500. Or whatever it is. Buy some premium bonds. You might even win.
