Last season, INEOS used PSR rules and the lack of Champions League football as excuses for not signing players.
One year later, PSR apparently isn’t an issue anymore and Champions League football is back, yet they’ve signed less players than when those “issues” supposedly existed.
Now they’re using inflated prices, the wage structure, “smart recruitment” and whatever else as excuses for not spending money.
I’m genuinely curious what excuse they’ll come up with next season, because it’s becoming as clear as daylight that this is all part of a very well planned strategy.
The ugly truth is : Man United are not a top club anymore… They seem like one, known as one but they don’t act like one unfortunately…. #IneosOut#GlazersOut
The UK is currently in just under £3 trillion debt.
Until that debt is lowered, foreign aid should be scrapped, not increased like Andy Burnham plans to do.
Absolutely ridiculous.
They know he f*****d the country and their party poll ratings too.
Yet he gets a standing ovation for complete and utter failure.
THIS IS WHY WE HAVE SUCH CONTEMPT FOR POLITICIANS RIGHT NOW
I am married with a young daughter, both myself and my husband work.
-We are not entitled to housing benefit, or any other benefit for that matter.
-We do not get free eye tests, free dental care or free prescriptions.
-Our daughter is not entitled to free school meals, or free breakfast clubs, or free wrap around care, no help with her uniform.
-We don’t get council tax discount, or any other discount.
-We don’t get help with our energy bills, or low cost broadband.
-We don’t get help with the cost of going to the cinema, or days out at theme parks.
-My daughter is unable to play outside unsupervised, because you have failed to secure our borders and the streets aren’t safe.
-If I work more hours, I fall into the higher tax band.
Why should someone like me, vote for someone like you? @UKLabour@andyburnham
What are you offering my family?
Here’s the problem. The liberal political class wants us to treat atrocities like Belfast as single, random, isolated incidents. “Yes, it’s horrific, but don’t overreact,” they say. “Let the police do their job. Justice will be delivered. Let’s remain united,” and so on.
But the public can see that such incidents *aren’t* random or isolated. They are, in fact, all the consequence of massive state failure in the area of asylum and immigration. All roads lead back there.
That’s why people are angry.. They are sick of the platitudes that get trotted out after each fresh incident. They don’t want to hear them anymore. They know that the decisions of establishment politicians have brought us to this current pass, and they don’t trust those same politicians to fix things, especially when some of them refuse to even recognise that the public’s anger is justified.
There has been a huge vibe shift in recent years. Imagine - God forbid - there were another 7/7. Does anyone think the public response would be anything like as restrained as it was then? We are in really dangerous territory.
The public don’t want flowers and candles and “Don’t let them divide us.” They want someone who says, “I recognise that the state has failed abjectly. We have allowed far too many people to settle in the country without knowing who they truly are. It has disrupted your communities. Your anger is justified. And I will do everything in my power to put things right.”
Any politician unwilling to articulate that message, fully and sincerely, is effectively sanctioning more years of growing social disharmony and discord. Things cannot heal until those in power recognise the extent of the problem and what it will take to fix it. And, on both counts, most of them don’t.
That’s why the next few years are going to be very, very turbulent.
Havertz wins a throw-in at +5:12, hands it to Mosquera at +5:25, hands it to Rice for the long throw-in at +5:46.
Win a corner from the throw-in at +5:55. Saka begins to put the ball down at +6:25.
The entire first half. A set-piece clock is needed. 10s
A thought experiment.
A white British boy is found guilty of stabbing to death a black British boy.
The police handcuff the black British boy when he is bleeding out and dying.
They refuse to try & save his life. His last words are: “I can’t breathe”.
The police later issue a weak apology.
But no heads roll.
Nobody is sacked.
The police body cam footage is not released.
Now ask yourself:
What would Keir Starmer, Yvette Cooper, Sadiq Khan, Jess Phillips and countless other MPs and celebrities be doing right now?
We know exactly what they would be doing.
They would be protesting. Marching. Screaming. Demanding the footage be released.
And dropping one video and statement after another on social media.
Now have a look around at what they are all doing about the Henry Nowak case.
And that is exactly why millions of British people talk about “two-tier Britain”.
🚨 Roy Keane on the FA charging Harry Maguire
“Harry’s been charged by the FA for improper conduct? Improper conduct for what? Telling the fourth official to sort the bloody technology out?
Did they even have a look at Adrien Truffert’s challenge at the other end? Even he’d come out and admit he got away with one there, but it’s Harry who’s dragged in front of the beak to explain himself.
Makes you wonder if the FA expects its officials to be treated like royalty, while the lad’s the one who turns up wherever he’s needed. Not ducking the international job like some of those Arsenal players, is he?”
This is an incredible statement from a British Foreign Secretary. Literally acknowledges our interests, allies, global partners, global shipping and the wider Middle East are under direct attack from a hostile state. Then emphasises we will not take offensive action to deter it.
