@JarriAbidi @lewis_goodall Tell that to a starving child

[ian turner @igt_78]

@MaggiesTwitt @lewis_goodall The point though isn’t if a millionaire defines “rich”. It’s all relative - but is it just as immoral when we eat out well, go on fancy holidays - that is a level of extravagance and grotesque wealth when others in the world are starving.

[ian turner @igt_78]

@PolitlcsUK @adamboultonTABB That’s a tiny sample

[ian turner @igt_78]

@Vender2k10 @lewis_goodall What’s the logic here though. Millionaires have wealth that’s extreme to those poorest in the world. We keep the millionaires and happy to see them eat in fancy restaurants whilst others starve ?

[ian turner @igt_78]

@FreeBeeWon @lewis_goodall It’s a fair point ! the wealth we have even with “modest” lives in the west is so much in excess of what could be morally justified in comparing it to those in dire need elsewhere. Musks wealth is huge compared to Lewis’, but yes Lewis’ wealth is huge compared to so many others

[ian turner @igt_78]

@lewis_goodall Salary at global surely about £350k a year. Maitlis was on £350k at bbc, salary to poach her for unknown podcast would have been big, maybe £600k. Lewis adds more than his fair share to the shows and hosts the Sunday morning show - and is great at it. I think he needs a pay rise

[ian turner @igt_78]

@MaggiesTwitt @lewis_goodall Now I feel bad for Lewis 🥺

[ian turner @igt_78]

@lewis_goodall I’d be more worried if you really are not a millionaire given your status, than worrying about Elon’s wealth. You need a pay rise ! You’re very good, and deserve to get paid well, don’t me shy when the next contract negotiations come up.

@SkyNews @davidgrayrhodes Beth rigby deserves the Sunday show next

[ian turner @igt_78]

@RamoFootball Her ranking at number 1 was massively distorted by the pandemic. She’s hugely over rated

[ian turner @igt_78]

@DavidPGCSE Too good !

@jon_wertheim @Wimbledon I’m so pleased you’ve tightened up your language using average. I remember years ago you mixed up median and average, but you’ve not fallen for that trap again. It’s always nice to use something fancy like median since it sounds a little wordier but average here is watertight

[ian turner @igt_78]

@Shankballs You mean atp ?

[ian turner @igt_78]

@jon_wertheim @Wimbledon Errrrr… her movement nowhere near the level required. She’d get crushed by a top 50 player

[ian turner @igt_78]

@jon_wertheim Today isn’t the day to talk about this. Do better.

@PSDuffy @TheTennisTalker No need to be rude. Matts. Sorry it’s just autocorrect. Babs was onsite presenting for another channel.

[ian turner @igt_78]

@PSDuffy @TheTennisTalker Also tnt coverage waaaay too similar now to sky sports. It’s just this little cosy club of the same commentators and pundits. Really used to enjoy the different vibe old school Eurosport had with Simon reed, frew McMillan, Jo durie.

[ian turner @igt_78]

@PSDuffy @TheTennisTalker I just preferred Matt and schett. Was a great show. Doyle and stringer are embarrassing. They talk like daytime tv presenters.

[ian turner @igt_78]

@PSDuffy @TheTennisTalker Well, we no longer have the cube, Matt’s role hugely reduced, commentary teams not as strong anymore. Oh and we paying 3 times as much 😢🤦🏻‍♂️
