The idiot police take it's orders to support the destruction of society, economy, justice and institutions in order to support fat cats.

HM customs are just private companies. It's them you should be asking about extortion. It's a bold and brave move by Vodaphone.

This is just two private companies having an argument. The UK won't collapse. It's all written off from our debt deficit. We all live the same and nothing will change.

BTW, if you think the tax office gives YOU anything back for paying taxe's, then think again.

How disgusting! They've saved more than the cost of the armed forcess, and almost 4 X the amount in the welfare that gets spent each year!

WTF is wrong with this country?!?!

These people don't understand you see if we don't let corporations and banks do what they want they'll go elsewhere. So we have to give them what they want it's best for society. Whereas we don't need to give the working class what they want because we can just beat them with sticks, they're too poor to go elsewhere :) and that's the way we like to keep it.

just got a letter from FPC debt collection services relating to vodaphone. says i must contact them on 08458396246. there is no email address offered by this company and 0845 is obviously a high rate number. i used vodafone for about 30 months and they tried to rip me off repeatedly. one time they said i owed them £300 when they had made a mistake and cut me off. this latest £21.11 bill is also something they have made up as my final bill says i owe nothing.
