@TechWithBrett not sure what the point is? You are throwing shade about people that got this sent when you also do paid reviews ?

This could all be about to get really fucking tasty. This quote in The Express could get Reform in the shit if Zack Polanski is minded to take it further.
At the very least, maybe an apology from all at Reform could save a lot of legal bother.
dave lawrence 🐟🐟🐠@dave43law
Polanski should sue the pants off of Reform for this - it is not what he did - it was not the findings of the Police based on the factual evidence They cannot reframe the law to their own agenda - and imagine the devastation if they were actually in charge of law and order.

Apple leasing is useless, it requires selection of a carrier. I need unlocked to use with Google Fi. A big no from me.
English
@NotDrivingDrew @ZevCyber Don’t talk rubbish. Apple is bigger and by some than all 3 carriers combined. They have zero power over Apple. Additionally, this is leasing via Klarna and the carriers are not involved in this deal commercially.
English
@ZevCyber Selecting a carrier literally doesn't do anything. The cell companies just strong armed Apple into making it look like you have to go with them if you want to buy an iPhone to keep them happy. Just pick a carrier and set up the phone with whoever you'd like.

@SimonHarrisMBD He didn’t crop anything, Zack lied. The screenshot showed Zack as the main account and that is down to Instagram. So you was noted correctly you idiot
English
I got community noted on here for pointing out that Farage cropped the image dishonestly to make it look like Zack posted it himself, but you can now all hear it from Zack directly.
Feel free to ‘community note’ this as well 😂😂😂

@PaigeSully88 You do know how leasing works right? Apple will not be leasing the refurb. That will be Klarnas gig. Research before you post
English
You will own nothing. But Apple makes even more money bc you return their product and they refurbish and lease it again.
The absolute greed of the techno communists is insane

For those curious, here’s a more detailed lease vs. finance breakdown of Apple’s new Upgrade program 👇🍎 Take a $1,999 MacBook Pro: 💳 Lease: $38.99/mo for 36 months After three years, you’ve paid $1,403.64 to use it. You can return it, upgrade, or pay the remaining $595.36 to own it. 💰 Finance: $166.58/mo for 12 months After one year, it’s completely paid off and yours to keep. The lease makes an expensive product much easier to digest each month—but you’re giving up ownership unless you pay the remaining balance. Below are a few more examples comparing Apple’s lease and financing options. Do you see value in leasing? 🤔

@PaigeSully88 @nandoprince93 Have you read the terms before commenting. You can own it at the end of the agreement & it will cost you no more than buying it outright. In fact in some cases it will cost you less than finance
apple will not be leasing the refurbs. Thats Klarnas gig and they will sell them on
English
@nandoprince93 Okay it costs less but you also don’t own it.
So Apple gets to make $1400 on you and money on whoever leases the refurbished computer.
You walk away without a laptop. Unless you want to pay monthly forever.
Nothing about this is good

@theleak99 @floboflo You wanna talk 'weak arguments' when you just call me a bot because you don't like what I'm saying.
English
It wasn’t a tweet, he didn’t write it and it wasn’t incitement.
Great post apart from that.
Jane Stevenson@Jane_Stevenson_
Pleased the Met Police are looking at Zack Polanski tweet. He deleted it when he thought better of it. So did Lucy Connolly. I don't think either of these things should constitute a crime. But Lucy Connolly was sent to prison and wasn't an elected representative/party leader
English
@Katrina20932914 @floboflo I called you a bot not because I don’t like what you saying. I called you a bot because the profile picture is either ai or filtered to hell. This picture also does not appear ANYWHERE online or any similar faces….
English
@SimonHarrisMBD Jesus! Have you not milked this enough for engagement 🤡
English
It’s been predictable to see how pro-Reform commentators have reacted to Zack Polanski’s Instagram collaboration mistake. Naturally we’ll be happy to give you all an electronic nudge whenever Reform party members threaten others online in future. What’s good for the goose, right?
English
@Katrina20932914 @floboflo Well it is, it’s for the law and CPS to decide
And it’s a T-shirt you bot
English
@theleak99 @floboflo Hardly a weak argument to point out that Reform et al have decided that saying 'for all I care' absolves every sin, but a shirt that doesn't mention Nigel Farage is a threat against him.
English
Maybe something like this?
Reform UK@reformparty_uk
Zack Polanski has now removed this post from Instagram. We wonder why?
English
@PaulGrimshaw15 That’s not in dispute. What’s in dispute is if he just shares everything he is tagged in without checking, which is doubtful given his position.
But if an offence is identified. His defence I didn’t see it would likely not stand up.
English
@Katrina20932914 @floboflo Weak argument, the right or the left don’t decide. Law of the UK and the courts
English
@theleak99 @floboflo Has never stopped the right from deciding among themselves that Connolly wasn't incitement.
English
@theleak99 @raywongy If you’d take some time to cross my socials you’d see differently
English
So a 256GB iPhone 17 Pro costs $1,099 to own
The Apple Upgrade leasing program will let you borrow it for:
• $45.99/month x 12 months = $551.88
• $31.99/month x 24 months = $767.76
You save $547.12 to borrow it for 12 months or $331.24 for 24 months, after which you send it back to Apple and start a new term for a new iPhone
Those are prices without Apple care or initial phone trade-in
Unless you want to own your device outright forever, what person who wants the newest iPhone wouldn't join Apple Upgrade and just lease their phone in perpetuity?
English
@PaulGrimshaw15 Come on, you are being weak now. He’s a politician. He knows the game and you clearly don’t understand how collabs work on insta.
English
@theleak99 You see a photo of you and click accept however many times.
Do you read all the small print on a contract…
English
@MIBProductions @raywongy You literally don’t review for a living with the follower counts you have 😂 cringe
English
@raywongy I completely agree with this.
As someone who reviews tech for a living, having the newest device is very important. So I’ll be saving overall money by leasing an iPhone each year, and so I think that is what I’m going to do with the iPhone Ultra later this year.
English
@GXBlue1 @gingerrtom Yes he should check if hes clicking accept to post it his 700,000 followers
English
Nigel Farage conveniently cropped out the important detail of who created the post on Zack Polanski's Instagram wall after accusing him of incitement.
You can also see it was the 5th picture in the carousel, which could have very well been missed by Zack upon accepting.
