I have a Micra. I went with Direct Line this time, having been with another company for some years.


In past years I got several slightly lower quotes, but I stuck with who I was with because of their good customer service.


I went on to all the comparison sites this time, but if memory serves Direct Line aren't on them. I think I heard about them via the Money Saving Expert site which said you had to go to them directly for a quote, which I did. I think that must have been online too, but I can't remember now.


Obviously the proof will be in the pudding if I have to make a claim (which I sincerely hope I won't have to) but my premium is very considerably less than I was paying before.


Definitely worth getting a quote and checking them out and see what you think.

Yes, the moneysavingexpert site is very good for many things.


I always check it out first for anything financial.


Obviously a lot is common sense, but it's good to be reminded of common sense things as well :)

When you have a quote from Direct Line, (and maybe other quotes), you can always go back to your present insurance company and try to get them to match it.


I've had limited success with that, in that they've brought their original quote down a bit, but not much.


Last time, the difference in the premiums was so big that I switched, though.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
