I see YouTube have reached their verdict and cut off his income from the site.
I wonder if that is an entirely legal action?
Not that I have any sympathy with RB, but if they don't delete the content, can they refuse to honour paying him any fees due?
I presume they will remove the content that was earning the money.
As I understand it the content remains but they remove his earning potential, YouTube continues to make revenue from it though!!!.

From what was said, any of his earnings are placed in a holding account until such time he is proven guilty or innocent by the courts, if there is no court case I would guess he gets the money back?

Slapstick.

Just for the record, I was up at 02.25 and again at 04.5 but the doctor has said things should improve once the new tablets kick in :thumbup:

Had to laugh at the news that Daniel Khalife (the guy who escaped from prison) pleaded not guilty yesterday when in court accused of escaping from prison.

Not as bad as a prison in Guatemala where thousands of troops and tanks were sent in to restore order after gang warfare broke out, 17 inmates were found dead. Severe overcrowding makes it hard for guards to control the prisoners - who are often heavily armed with home-made weapons as well as firearms smuggled into the jail.

I’ll be having words with my car insurer. Just got the renewal quote.
Last year. £328.
This year. £511. !

Don’t think so. I know they said insurance was going up and I can look around but bloody hell, that’s a hell of an hike.!

Mine was the same - I went on comparison sites plus a few other insurers and LV - my own insurer came out the cheapest. The quotes look cheaper until you add on the extras and funnily a quote on the comparison site with LV was about £150 more than my renewal quote from them. I have no idea how they work it out - a mystery to me :crazy:

I switched to Tesco this year who were quite a bit cheaper than my old insurer.

It seems you have to shop around for everything these days.
We had our car renewal from the AA a few days ago. Like screwy I thought I don’t think so, and went with LV. Still a bit more than last years premium but a darn sight less than the AA.

No doubt we will be playing the same game come next years renewal.

But at least the reduced rate for new customers has been abolished and everyone is treated the same now.
