Well go fuck yourself, Financial Times, I don’t like people who think it’s okay to slap some shit into my clipboard that I didn’t actually copy. That’s shady fucking shit,hijacking my copy/paste.
It’s just fucking greed all the way down, isn’t it?
It would be great to have a news community where ft.com links were banned.
