This sounds nice, but it's a great way to undermine the welfare state.
The strongest welfare states in the world (the Nordics) tax everyone, including nurses. And they give everyone universal healthcare, childcare, pensions, education in return.
When the middle class has skin in the game, they defend the system. When welfare is 'just for the poor', it becomes a poor program: stigmatized, underfunded, easy to gut.
That's why billionaires keep pushing this idea. The real scandal isn't that this nurse pays $12k.
It's that Jeff Bezos pays $0.
@dan_brigham@HipkissDesign Played into their hands, the goal lets them sit deep and force us to cross the ball where we lacked quality and they gobbled it up. They never had to come out and leave space behind. But we also had over 9000 corners and I'm not sure we created a single chance from them.
@Rob197711 If a couple of decisions go our way it would have been fun watching you defend with 10 men at 2-1 with 10 minutes to go. But you're right, we never really looked like scoring today.
Ridiculous penalty changes the entire game. Every single thing went against us and how that thick little Chilean rat escapes a red card I'll never know. Clear foul on Kenny too. It's taken them 20 years and they could only do it with the referees' help. #ncfc
England games like that make me miss the days of Batty, Ince and Butt where we would have happily forgotten the football and resorted to violence. We don't really have anyone now to kick the shit out of the opposition.
@umirf1 Brilliant example of this at Norwich, got it horribly wrong with Manning, ill-suited squad for his style, changed to Clement, suddenly the same players look like world beaters. Also helps Clement is clearly a vastly better coach, so the transformation has been even more dramatic
Like the look of Mundle-Smith, wouldn't mind seeing him start in the league. Also think we could play Ben Slimane and Maghoma together when his fitness improves, while Makama and Toure are out.
Nottingham Forest Football Club can confirm that Sean Dyche has been relieved of his duties as head coach.
We would like to thank Sean and his staff for their efforts during their time at the Club and we wish them the best of luck for the future. We will be making no further comment at this time.
The audacity of Jim Ratcliffe, a British billionaire who migrated to Monaco to avoid paying taxes, but was trying to get UK taxpayer money to enable his stadium project, saying this.
Using ‘colonised’ when actual British colonialism resulted in over 100 million Indian deaths between 1881-1920 alone, transportation of 3.5 million African slaves, and an endless array of other atrocities with the impact still being felt today.
And when the success of Manchester United, on the field and commercially, is in large part dependent on foreigners.
Vile, vile, vile.
It’s actually being held to ransom regularly by tax dodging billionaire polluters like you and your cronies, big man. Top tip: if every interview you give ends up making you look a fucking prat, maybe stop doing them
