Cape Verde have had more possession than Arsenal did in the UCL final.

@EffingVanessa @legocrankykong @ramonagusta @barbourtwat How many countries worldwide charge VAT on school fees? Absurd for anyone to believe it's a good idea.

@EducationNotTax Clearly not worked. Will end up losing money. Another petition?

Look at how the PSG players immediately stopped appealing the moment the referee waved it away. Only Marquinhos approached the ref, and the bench stayed calm. Zero drama.

Now contrast that with Mikel Arteta and Arsenal. When Madueke pulled down Nuno Mendes and intentionally went down looking for a soft penalty, the Arsenal players threw a collective tantrum on the pitch. Arteta rallied his entire bench, screaming at the officials for almost a minute and nearly interrupting the game.

That’s the exact brand of tactical tantrum he throws in the PL to bully weak English referees who completely lack authority.

What makes Arteta truly embarrassing is his shameless desperation. Later on, when Gyokeres’ shot got deflected for a corner, Arteta was up in the fourth official's face demanding a handball penalty. Then we saw the replay, and the ball wasn't even close to a PSG player's arm.

He’s a certified embarrassment to the beautiful game.

Rico Verhoeven just had his win over Oleksandr Usyk STOLEN by the ref‼️

Dominating Usyk as a 1-0 boxer and they stop the fight AFTER THE BELL⁉️

@ArchRose90 @FreeNationTalk Using earbuds while driving is not explicitly illegal in the UK, but it is highly discouraged & can lead to prosecution for driving without due care & attention if it causes distractions or masks hazards. It can significantly hinder your ability to hear sirens, horns, or traffic.

I’ve long warned that Labour’s attacks on wealth creators and entrepreneurs would cost Britain.

Now the Sunday Times Rich List gives us the results: it’s a bloodbath. 1 in 3 left the UK.

Here's why top taxpayers and philanthropists are fleeing like it's the 1970s again. 🧵👇

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses.

I’ll explain for the economically illiterate.

Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add:
- 12.07% holiday
- Sick pay
- Maternity pay if and when required
- National insurance
- Pension contributions

These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up.

Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t.

Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics.

Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs.

There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay.

So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost.

Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes.

The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.
