@MatthewStadlen What a rocket 🚀. This is the problem with today's society. I dont like it, so it should be banned. What happened to live and let live 🤷‍♂️

The Great British Rip Off.

We pay more for everything and what we get back is falling apart.

Food is nearly 40% more expensive than five years ago and on track to be around 50% higher than mid-2021 by the end of this year.

Olive oil has more than doubled. Beef, eggs, pasta and chocolate are all up by half or more.

Diesel has just hit a record £2 a litre. Petrol is around 174p. A typical energy bill is £1,723 under the October price cap - 58% higher than winter 2021/22.

£billions spent on importing oil and gas from Norway and the North Sea, while the government turns off the taps on new UK oil and gas licenses from the same sea.

Gas rates are roughly 140% above mid-2021.

One of the highest electricity rates in the world.

The tax burden is at the highest since records began in the late 1940s and still forecast to climb even further.

Employer National Insurance went up. Business rates land on the local independent shop. Retailers now hand over about 72p in business taxes for every £1 of pre-tax profit.

Walk the high street and you can see where that money did not go. One in seven high street properties is empty. Hollowed out streets where proud local businesses used to stand bringing communities together.

Over 70,000 UK shop closures since 2020. Retail jobs fell by 122,000 in two years.

The UK hospitality sector has suffered a net loss of more than 16,000 licensed venues (including pubs, bars, clubs, and restaurants) since the start of the Covid in March 2020.

A record 6,365 UK agriculture, forestry and fishing businesses closed in 2025 alone.

Familiar names keep shrinking or vanishing - boarded windows, “to let” signs a vape shop where the butcher or the bank used to be. The places that held a town together are being taxed and costed out of existence while you are told the economy is being “supported.”

The roads tell the same story. Councils in England and Wales face a record £18.6 billion backlog of carriageway repairs - twelve years of work. Only about half the local network is in good structural condition. More than 32,500 miles have less than five years of life left. Roads are resurfaced, on average, once every 97 years. 1 million potholes. Road drains left without regular cleaning.

We pay record fuel prices to drive on roads that wreck tyres and suspension.

Water is no better. Pipes leak, rivers take the sewage bills still rise. No major new reservoirs were built in England for over 30 years. Dozens sold off. And we end up getting told that we have a hosepipe ban when there’s a few days sunshine in July.

Schools, hospitals and rail carry the same pattern: maintenance deferred, promises announced, yet more decay.

But meanwhile data centres, solar panels and wind turbines are being plastered across prime farmland reducing our food supply, natural habitats and resources.

And the people in charge? An MP’s basic salary is £98,599 - up 5% this year, more than 20% since the £81,932 they were on in 2021. Ministers take a second salary and huge expenses on top. Their pay is increased while our taxes continue rise - which helps to fund them to manage our decline.

What is overdue is a massive, sustained cost-of-living protest - visible, peaceful, organised, impossible to shrug off by the government - until tax rises, food, fuel and energy prices and sense general decay stop crushing ordinary households and until the country we pay more and more for stops being left to rot by local and national governments.

🚨🗣️ Rui Pinto on the announcement he’s about to make tomorrow:

“I don’t want to share too much. Tomorrow, I will show you why certain people are nervous.

Manchester City. PSG. Barcelona. Portugal. Negreira. UEFA. FIFA. Real Madrid. Referees. Infantino. The files connecting football’s biggest institutions go much deeper than people realise.

SHAM contracts. Different clubs. Different stories. But the same question: who knew, who benefited and who tried to bury it?

And now Cristiano Ronaldo walks out of Portugal. Jorge Jesus. Leao. Bruno Fernandes. The FPF. Watch carefully. Football has too many coincidences for me to ignore.

Tomorrow, 18:00 UTC. I have waited long enough.” 👀🥺

This Man City situation is just getting more ridiculous every single day. Prime Minister getting involved, relations between 2 countries apparently in danger.

This is what German football fans have been warning you about for years, but you only cared about signing the next £50m+ player and mocking every other league for being broke.

Ironically, now the Premier League has become the ultimate mockery. All integrity is lost.

I‘d much rather have my league be broke but keeping its soul & values than the shitshow that is the Premier League right now.

[Rui Pinto @RuiPinto_FL]

Back in 2014, there was a man who was already aware of the irregularities involving Manchester City. That man now runs FIFA. The infamous Gianni Infantino, then UEFA General Secretary, abused his authority, shared confidential documents and, in short, outmanoeuvred the Investigatory Chamber, doing everything in his power to ensure that both Manchester City and PSG would merely receive a fine, avoiding a deeper investigation that could have led to a Champions League ban. All of these details were also revealed through Football Leaks.
Given his actions as UEFA General Secretary and, more recently, as FIFA President, I can only say, in my humble opinion, that Gianni Infantino has become a cancer on football and should have no place in the future of the game.

A simple but effective way of explaining how we are being completely tax fleeced by the government. Credit to @robprogressive.

Sick Fucking Woman.
Everything that is wrong with modern Britain stems from this lower-middle-class shit.

@JamesMelville Surely Liz Truss has to be up there

The UK government and it’s allies are such a fucking joke they can’t even carry out a false flag successfully 😂😂😂😂.

So basically a farmer's wife caught the SAS trying to blow up a dummy plan with Trump's blessing to get us into the Iran war.

In the middle of a diesel shortage the UK continues support for Ukraine who is actively attacking oil refineries.

Your government doesnt work for you.

Russia never invaded my homeland of Ireland, they never murdered my fellow countrymen, they never allowed a famine and let millions die or be displaced, they never tried to erase my native language. Russia never partitioned the island of Ireland......Russia is NOT my enemy.

[The doorway to sin @Phil12077259]

I am a Glaswegian Scotsman
Russia IS NOT MY ENEMY
Russia didn't deindustrialise Scotland
Russia didn't steal Scotland's resources
Russia didn't bill Scotland to park nuclear weapons on our soil
Russia didn't use Scottish airports to bomb Iran and Gaza

I’m Scottish and Russia is not my enemy.
