The Ministry of Truth

One of the many revolutions brought about by the internet is the capacity to manage one's cash from remote locations. Some years ago I started using Cahoot as one of my on-line banks, as at the time they were pretty good, but as all other banks have become more sophisticated Cahoot seems to be stuck in a timewarp.

The latest example of their idiosyncratic approach to customer service is this message which flashed up as I tried to access my bank account today:

"We have recently made improvements to the cahoot service and because of these changes you may have problems viewing your account."

How can anyone write such elegantly crafted bullshit and not go far in this world? Note how the fact that I am now separated from any control over my finances is presented to me as an 'improvement'. Surely a job in New Labour is just around the corner for this odious lickspittle, perhaps telling the people of Iraq that:

"We have recently made improvements to your democracy and because of these changes you may have problems staying alive."

Clearly the bullshit nexus that seeks to diminish human interactions and debase the truth is alive and well in Britain at the moment.
