Good angle this. Shows Robertson pushing Donna (foul), moving himself into an offside position, directly in the line of the ball’s trajectory thereby distracting the keeper. Either way it’s not a goal. Great call from the Lino and Ref. Job well done.

With two parents on £50k, take-home pay is £79,000. After childcare and rent, they're left with £24,800.

A family on benefits renting the same house would clear £30,000 after rent with no need for childcare.

You are better off on benefits than on a household income of £100k.

So that I understand this correctly:

Yemen fired missiles and drones indiscriminately at Israel without provocation. Hezbollah (part of the Lebanese government) fired thousands of rockets and missiles at Israel indiscriminately without provocation. All of these were armed and funded and controlled by Iran. And millions around the world plus a bunch of delusional podcasters were not only okay with that, but cheered it on and demanded more.

Yet Israel destroys Hezbollah in Lebanon, hits the Houthis in Yemen and hits Iran military and nuclear installations, and the US hits just three sites in Iran, all of a sudden Israel and the US are condemned for breaching the sovereignty of these countries?

There comes a time when hypocrisy and stupidity are so blatant and openly shown that it’s hard not to mock and laugh at these idiots.

Britain's social contract is broken.

You’ve likely seen the meme of Nick, 30, the young professional crushed in the tax car-compactor.

His income goes to Karim, 25 a second-generation immigrant who lives in social housing, evades paying fares on public transport, commits crimes to spend disposable income on luxury status goods, and sends the rest in remittances to family members abroad.

The rest goes to national insurance contributions to pay for socialised healthcare and pensions for Baby Boomers, Simon & Linda, 70, who take out much more than they paid in thanks to inflation.

Whereas the Labour party has estranged pensioners, courting Karim as a client block instead, the last election saw the Conservative party try to retain the only voters in the country who hadn’t abandoned them (or died yet) by quadruple-locking pensions, and promising to conscript young Woke snowflakes to either deliver their prescriptions or die in a ditch in Ukraine.

Why should Nick bother working? Who will speak up for Nick? Would he vote for them, even if they did?

You make a sale of £1200 in your business

£200 is VAT

You have £1000

You pay 25% corp tax on it

You have £750

You pay it to yourself as a dividend and pay 20%

You have £600

You spend it and £100 of the spend was VAT

You have something worth £500

You die and pass that thing onto your kids and your estate owes 40% of it in taxes.

Your kids have £300

... are you seeing why it's nearly impossible to get ahead in the UK? This is why people are leaving the UK.

[Scotland’s Coefficient @scotlandscoeff1]

UEFA used to have a rule of no more than 5 teams per country in the UCL, which they got rid of last year. This is because UEFA wanted to fight off the threat of the super league, and getting rid of that rule appeases the big clubs as more of them can get into the top competition (where 75% of the UEFA prize pot goes)

But to the question - it needs to be a team from outside the automatic places winning it, for England to get another slot. So it's unchanged if Arsenal win it - still 5 auto champions league place for England.

But if Aston Villa win it and finish outside - then they'd have 6 teams in UCL automatically.

If Spurs/Man United then won the Europa league they'd have SEVEN teams in UCL automatically.

Scotland's champions in a couple of years time will be back to 3 qualifying rounds to get in to the UCL.

But it gets worse.

If Aston Villa, Spurs, and Chelsea all win their European competition and finish outside the top six - England will have ELEVEN teams in Europe.

More than half a 20 team division in Europe.

A farce.

Hugh Kevin’s article in today’s Sunday Mail only illustrates how many of that organisations supporters and mouthpieces seem to have learned nothing. Still attempting to silence commentators and victims to keep the name of Celtic clean at all times.
Silence is not an option!

Remember, the state was happy to impose racial, religious, and sexual apartheid on the indigenous majority, and only backed off because of bad press.

They don't think they did anything wrong. They just couldn't find a better way to sell it to us this time.

They will try again.

Socialism: You have two cows. The state takes one.

Communism: You have two cows. The state takes both and gives you a ration of milk.

Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a thriving herd.

Labour: You have two cows. The state takes both, drinks the milk, eats the cows, and leaves you the bill.

🇺🇸🇺🇦Americans and Europeans, watch this video! This is my Ukraine.
I will tell you the truth about Ukraine that your media is hiding.
Zelensky has banned Ukrainians from protesting against the government’s actions. This young man held a sign in Kyiv that said: “War is not a reason to build a dictatorship. Zelensky’s thugs are still kidnapping people!”

And that was it. The police arrested him and threw him in prison.

At the same time, Zelensky uses American democracy to organize paid rallies in New York, Washington, and other cities in the U.S. and Europe to create the illusion of his support among Western citizens.

In Ukraine today, it is IMPOSSIBLE to engage in opposition activities.
Hundreds of well-known journalists, bloggers, and politicians have already been arrested. Imagine, a member of parliament was recently arrested just for criticizing Andriy Yermak, Zelensky’s deputy.

Another opposition MP, Oleksandr Dubinsky, was arrested for supporting Donald Trump.

Opposition politician Petro Poroshenko has been hit with illegal sanctions and is being threatened with prison for criticizing Zelensky.

Everyone is now intimidated.

All TV channels are under government control. 99% of bloggers in the country are bribed with corrupt money and USAID grants.

To have the ability to speak the truth and express my opinion, I left Ukraine—and was immediately hit with fabricated criminal cases for criticizing the government.

My colleague, opposition blogger Denys Yelysevych, who is currently in the U.S., could not be arrested. So instead, his mother was arrested in Kyiv for reposting a Facebook video criticizing Andriy Yermak.

The opposition is in exile. What do you think?

That’s why Zelensky refuses to hold elections and publicly states that he will not leave office, even though his presidential term ended a year ago.

I will continue publishing facts about Zelensky’s crimes and corruption, which I have gathered over the past six years of his rule.
Subscribe and retweet so the world can see.

I will say this as a Ukrainian who is opposed to Zelensky: Trump gave us hope and a chance for freedom, peace, and democracy.

Sincerely,
Ukrainian oppositionist, Myroslav Oleshko

CRAZY IDEA: Why has Israel always been called "America's aircraft carrier in the Middle East?” And what has the U.S. always wanted in the Middle East?

With Trump’s latest Gaza proposal, the U.S. effectively gets a SAFE land and naval base in the most critical region in the world. It no longer needs to negotiate with Qatar over rights/leases to a base and no longer needs to worry about its troops being attacked by hostile forces in Iraq and Syria. Bibi has given Trump what every American administration has dreamed of - a land-based U.S. power projection ability in the Middle East that is not at the expense of another country or on the territory of another country. American troops can live in safety and security next to Israel and deal with any national security threats to the U.S. without the fear of a response. This is BRILLIANT if true.
