Complete and Utter Zebu

A text message from Virgin Mobile says ” Some news about your Virgin Mobile call costs. We’re making some changes to a few of our call charges. National and local toll rates – that’s numbers like 0870, 0871, 0844 and 0845 – are changing to 40p per minute.”

What “making some changes” actually means, of course, is “increasing our charges”. More weasel words.
