The level of intellect on here is a reflection of where our country/the planet is going. Blocking bots. Make billionaires illegal. 🥖 Panem et circenses 🤡
I want a political party who will tackle corruption, one that says it’s not fair that they get thousands of pounds pay rise whilst the rest of the country struggle, one that stands up for equity, fairness and invests in the NHS, education and public services. Anyone know of one?
Barclays are laying 5000 people off.
Dismissing them.
Making them redundant.
All because they ONLY made 2.3 billion £££ in profit last year.
It would take you 73 years to count (non stop) to 2.3 billion.
Tax the greedy bastards.
Well after today’s announcement from the Bank of England, there is something very, very, very wrong in the system.
So … let me get this straight:
* British Gas made a profit of £1.3bn between January & June
* BP announced profits of £6.95 billion between April and June alone
* Shell has profited by £9.4bn in a year
The MEN at the top:
* John Pettigrew, boss of National Grid received £6.5m bonus on top of his salary
* Chris O’Shea, chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica was paid almost £2m last year in salary and benefits
* Centrica's non-executive directors were paid almost £1m
* Scottish Power's CEO Keith Anderson is on £1.15m.
* E.On boss Michael Lewis is on £1m
* EDF's Simone Rossi is also on £1m
* And their top execs enjoyed a share of £4.65m
* Peter Simpson of Anglian Water earned a £1.3m pay package
* Welsh Water bosses awarded themselves bonuses of over £930,000
* Severn Trent bosses awarded themselves bonuses of £5.56m
* Thames Water's Sarah Bentley, received a £727,000 bonus on top of her £2m annual salary
Meanwhile there are...
* People who haven't had breakfast and/or lunch TODAY, because they can't afford it.
* People using FoodBanks because food is becoming more of a luxury than a necessity.
* Children celebrating a birthday without presents.
* Parents worrying about new school uniforms - and some schools enforcing rules which are not cost-effective.
* People who can't get to work because they can't afford to put petrol in their cars/pay for public transport anymore.
* People who are working so much they're making themselves ill, and they STILL CAN'T AFFORD to pay their bills.
* People who have been given fines by these same energy/water companies because they couldn't afford to pay their bills in the first place - increasing their debt.
* Customers being told to do STAR JUMPS TO KEEP WARM for crying out loud!
* Hose pipe bans when gallons of water leak away everyday.
* Elderly people NOT DRINKING because they're worried about running out of water!!!
All this and energy prices are set to rise up to 75% in October...
THIS IS MADNESS!.. I'm all for supporting profits … I'm not for supporting greed at the cost of lives of others.
Something needs to change.
Why is customers' money being used to make life more comfortable for those who are making life more intolerable for the rest of us?
I actually don't understand how the energy companies are allowed to get away with this and why the government aren't stopping them instead of handing out money.....
@Wheelton_white If you’re on about the coaching staff being replaced, it’s about 3 years too late.
Asleep the wheel would be a generous description of the clowns “running” this football club. The muppet show would be more accurate.
@SamJayne11 Please can we all direct our anger at the correct source? The one who has been in charge of recruitment for the last decade and more.
GA is not our enemy.
PR is.
His arrogance.
His denial one any blame.
His shocking judgment.
Get PR OUT!!
@farrington89996 The recruitment and the coaching have been at a standard of League 2 for nearly a decade.
Loans have kept us competitive.
Peter Ridsdale is a fraud and he is the reason we will go down.
He’s ruined every club that he’s ever been at.
Tell me I’m wrong @Wheelton_white
🔴MICHELLE MONE

“There is not a single sign of any overall economic damage done by Brexit” says @Nigel_Farage
Meanwhile back on planet earth by almost every economic & financial measure Brexit has been disastrous for the UK
Is anyone seriously buying his bull****?
Get the FACTS here👇
Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax, which is a Green Party Policy, with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%.
That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.
@chuckthomasuk This should be the first thing British people stop paying overnight. It’s easy to cancel your payment. We need to start somewhere. The government are taxing us everywhere we turn.
Meanwhile, they and their multi millionaires pals shaft us everywhere second.
We should be rioting!
