# It isn't my fault.
We are all lumped into catergories; it is how the world works. Our current government got about 30% of the vote, if that. So 70% were sold short. I don't like it any more than you do, but show me an alternative that works? Should insurance companies interview each applicant? How much extra would that cost?

# Well the ECJ has shown the way
By ruling that gender-based discrimination is not allowed, which I think is a step in the right direction.

# It'll be age-based discrimination next, maybe.

# Sounds fair enough to me
If it's your first time being insured you get charged a flat rate that goes up or down depending on your experience, claims and no claims. Why your gender, age, colour, creed etc should be a factor is beyond me.

# Well.
If you are male you are more likely to make a claim. If you are under 25 you are more likely to make a claim. What business wouldn't take that into account? They would be stupid. Would you sell private health care to a rugby playing boxer with a 40 a day habit for the same price as a monk? You'd be mad!

edit: and skint in a week.
