    But didn’t the BoE say that we were all very rude and uncouth for taking payrises while the economy was mending?

    It’s almost like they’re a bunch of self serving cantankerous old fucks with no grasp on how real people live or function in society.

          I’m on Android so YMMV, but I use Firefox with uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger.

          But I’m mostly interested in removing ads and junk from my browsing.

          You need firefox with ublock origin my dude. Make sure to enable the anti annoyance and anti cookie banner lists.
