I'm not sure 'rip-off' is the correct term as a rip-off implies intent

Are you? Why?

It is very convenient for rip-off merchants to claim that they
didn't intend to rip people off, it was something beyond their
control. The Tony B Liar approach.

Don't forget the police, and a cryptic reference to England.

Yea, yeah, yeah. The machines did it all on their own, nothing at
all to do with the way they were programmed by Boris and his
henchmen.

Boris crept in when Ken wasn't looking and sabotaged the machines?

And surely Thatcher must be to blame somehow?
