Is the UK worse off because of Brexit? Ten years on since the Brexit referendum, we've looked at this question in detail. The video is produced by Katerina Karelli - and it's longer than our usual explainers. I hope you find it helpful.
I don't like Starmer. I want him to step down. But I don't think he should. His possible replacements are much worse and we've had utter chaos for a decade and a half. Perhaps we should let our leaders serve their term and think a bit more critically who we vote for next time.
@DuncanBannatyne You misspelled prediction for hoped.
Gammons like you are not the majority of the uk as elections are showing, despite being the most vociferous.
You know what Burnham and Markerfield proves?
This is a good country. Full of good people. This app is false. It’s a meeting point for wankers who share racist and xenophobic ideas.
You lot crack on, best of luck. England is REAL offline. That’s the best England 🏴🩵🫱🏾🫲🏻🫱🏽🫲🏾
Home Ticketing Prices
This is getting ridiculous, and I think it's time for the @PremierLeague to regulate home ticket prices. Any review should also consider the percentage of a stadium that can be allocated to hospitality to prevent clubs from exploiting supporters by continually replacing general-admission seats with premium offerings.
If the @PremierLeague truly cares about the long-term future of its product, it needs to remember what made it successful in the first place: the supporters. The atmosphere, passion and loyalty that fans have brought to the game for generations are a huge part of its appeal, and pricing those people out of attending matches is a dangerous path to go down.
To put home ticket prices into perspective, we're playing Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day — traditionally one of the biggest family matchdays of the season. If a family of four wanted to attend Old Trafford, the costs could look something like this:
Memberships
2 Adults: £37.50 each = £75
2 Under-16s: £20 each = £40
Match Tickets
2 Adults: £110–£180
2 Under-16s: £45–£90
Total cost: £270–£385 for a single game of football.
And that's before travel, food, drinks, parking or merchandise.
Football's greatest asset has always been its supporters. If clubs and the league continue to push prices beyond the reach of ordinary fans, they risk losing the very atmosphere that helped make the game what it is.
Leave the atmosphere in football before the atmosphere leaves you.
My Grandad is convinced a seagull called Sally has been stalking him since the 70s because he destroyed her nest. Although it sounds mad I secretly believe him, especially after I took him for lunch & a seagull swooped at his head & he shouted back "when will this end Sally?"
