some of those "facts" are not logical enough,so i think a few are bullshit.
but some i guess could hold water.

and yes,the tax in the UK is mindblowing.no wonder criminals are coining it in with cheap booze,clothes etc..


why the fuck should we pay so much tax when so little is done with them..apart from keeping the government in such plush surroundings of course.

that spider fact is false, fortunately, as is the myth about daddylonglegs having the worst venom but their mouth parts are to small to bite a human.
