    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Lame-arse companies just use COVID as an excuse frankly. Amazon have no problem delivering next day and quicker than promised - and I know a thing or two about Amazon deliveries (£20k per year spent for the business with them).

    I can hardly be bothered to look elsewhere these days; I’ll only be disappointed.

    It seems to be the general concession. One may hear people say they don’t want to use them, but one never hears that it’s because of poor service.
