The great British heatwave is underway. The supermarket is packed. The sausage aisle is busier than a nightclub on New Year’s Eve. One man has no top on. A woman just said “How about some kebabs on sticks? Will they do?” A chap just muttered “mustn’t forget coleslaw”. Someone else simply shouted “BUNS!”

It’s all go.

@TheRedmenTV Wasn't it 4 years?....

For there to be protests, there needs to be a critical mass of supporters who are worried, angered, or who simply care about the direction of travel in the game.

If too many people are apathetic, think nothing can be done (despite the evidence to the contrary) or worse, go into bat for Boston billionaires who are showing little regard for the culture or community around Liverpool’s support, then nothing will change.

A multi-year pricing model is a test. If the overriding response is “ah well”, then Liverpool – and the rest of the Premier League – have effectively been given the green light to fill their boots for the next three years and beyond.

And that’s where this leads: a slow but deliberate shift towards pricing out traditional supporters in favour of the highest spenders.

It’s £1.2m over a year.

It’s not being done because it needs to be done.

It’s being done because they believe they can get away with it.

Math trick

Ask someone to name a two-digit number. Let’s say the person calls out 13. You then write down 13 and keep writing consecutive numbers until you have 10 numbers in total:

13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22

What’s the sum of these numbers? All you need to do is find the 5th number from the left, which is 17. Then simply put a 5 to that number to get 175—and that’s the sum!

Let’s try another example. Suppose for 69. You write:

69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78

The 5th number from the left is 73. Put a 5 to get 735—and that’s the sum!

This trick works for any positive whole number. You can even try it with three-digit numbers, like 420:

420, 421, 422, 423, 424, 425, 426, 427, 428, 429

The 5th number from the left is 424, and appending a 5 gives 4245, which is the sum.

I think any progressive and ambitious Premier League club should now spend whatever they like and push the boundaries way past compliance.

Because if you only receive a paltry fine for adding players who materially helped you win trophies then it's worth it.

Was massively pro spending rules but clubs illegal spending prior to PSR isn't being punished at all and I bet those clubs are pissing themselves, all while clubs with the money to compete with them today are having to audit every fucking toilet roll, with promising home grown players being horsetraded like meat in order to comply with PSR.

Clubs and supporters should always support rules which protect our clubs from themselves at times, but dishing out fines that some clubs can find from the back of the boardroom sofa while directly profiting from the players "illegally" purchased makes a mockery of the system.

I want to say something many will hate but it needs to be said. I have met Nigel Farage. I do not know him well but I know the world he moves in. We move in similar circles sometimes. The kind of private rooms and members clubs that most people in Britain will never see. I know how the rich speak about ordinary people. They laugh. They joke about how easy it is to wind you up. They know exactly which buttons to press. They know you are angry and tired and struggling and they know you want someone to blame. That is why they point at boats while they pick your pockets.

I did not grow up rich. I did not grow up in privilege. I understand struggle and the real world. But my life changed and now I see both sides. I sit with billionaires and politicians and decision makers and I hear conversations you never will. I know the truth. They do not care about you. They do not care about your future. They care about profit and control. They see ordinary people as tools or distractions. I am telling you this because I am tired of watching good people being manipulated.

Look at your life before Brexit and look at it now. Look at your shopping bills. Look at what food costs in Europe right now. Look at how much tax you pay on imports. Look at your wages and energy prices and mortgages. Look at the 10,000 NHS staff we lost when freedom of movement ended. Look at the ambulances that do not arrive. Look at nurses and teachers using food banks. Tell me honestly. Are you better off?

Nigel helped build the crisis you are living in. Then he pointed at immigrants and told you to blame them. That is the con. He pulled the UK out of the Dublin III agreement which means we cannot return asylum seekers to Europe anymore. He created the boat chaos then told you to panic about it. Someone who worked in immigration for more than ten years told me they saw it coming. It was planned. It is a strategy. And you are falling for it.

Now he wants austerity again. He wants to cut wages for young people. He wants to rip up workers rights. He wants private health insurance and a French style NHS where the rich get treated first and the poor get nothing. He wants you fighting each other so you never see who is robbing you. If you vote for him you are voting to destroy your own life. Not mine. Yours.

None of this affects me personally. I drink champagne with the people who control the money. I will be fine no matter what. Reform will not hurt me. Reform will hurt you. It will hurt your children. Your parents. Your future. I am telling you because I care. If I did not care I would stay silent and watch you suffer.

You think I am your enemy because I make you uncomfortable. I am not. Your enemy is the one who lies to you and blames the vulnerable while he empties your pockets.

Reform will not save you. Reform will finish you.

Think. Before they take everything.

Nah sorry off you pop

[lan Byrne MP @IanByrneMP]

Absolutely disgraceful from the South Yorkshire Police Federation & keeping with tradition sadly & shamefully.

They dare to whine about “trial by media” when it was their own secretary in 1989 who spread the lies that weaponised the media against Liverpool fans and was fundamental to the cover up.

And now they have the nerve to demand fairness and balance?
Whoever signed this off should consider their position.

@stehoare Not long enough. 😂
