Donald Trump thanks FIFA for reversing the one-game red-card ban of USA striker Folarin Balogun:
“Thank you to FIFA for doing what was right, and reversing a great injustice!”
I don't "get a bit worried". I was worried 15 years ago when this was predicted and yet nobody changed anything to stop it. By now I am numb and honestly feel that on some level we deserve to cook. The animals and plants don't, though.
In 2015 the UK started charging people 5p for plastic carrier bags. Minimum wage in 2015 was £6.70 which means you could buy 134 carrier bags with an hour's wage.
Fast forward to 2026, minimum wage is £12.71 and carrier bags are now around 40p meaning an hours wage would buy you 31 carrier bags.
That's 103 less carrier bags and a 700% increase on the original price.
But only a 89% increase in wages.
We're getting robbed in this country.
