Re: The Absolute State Of It - It's The UK Politics Thread!

I think it makes sense to leave the cash ISA higher for older folks because at that age you won't want to be taking as many risks with your portfolio, so having more cash in reserve makes sense.

Can Zola take the stash of 0=SLEEP off the goon that Volley looted?

Is there any way that Zola could scan the contents of the USB for malware before he plugs it into his eyeballs?
