Team suspected of spying on training sessions - EFL conducts an investigation within a week and kicks the team out of a competition immediately
115 financial charges - PL will get back to you on that in a few years
Just had one of those somewhat depressing reminders of the capriciousness of life. It's absolutely pouring, and I stopped to chat to a homeless chap (who'll remain anonymous), I often pass on my way to work, chat with and help out.
He had a friend with him, also homeless, and when he realised it was me, wanted to ask a question... to be honest I wasn't expecting it to be about pension tracing.
Turned out he was an ex-soldier, been on the streets a few years, but had lots of jobs in the past, and lots of pensions, including some final salary. We went through how to trace them and how to get help and he took notes.
I asked his age, and was disappointed to find he was only 48, so still far away from being able to get succour from the money that is hopefully in those pensions. He was happy though, to know there was a way to find the money he had sitting somewhere.
I've been thinking about it since. In a way he has money, but no money and no home. He served our country but now sits huddled under the overhang of a street to keep a bit drier.
We discussed shelters and charities that could help, but he was resistant, he didn't like the pressure or mixing in that way.
There is no denouement to this post. No stark moral message. I just thought it worth noting.
Today is;
‘National well done for working hard all your life, being financially responsible, and planning for the future, so this government is coming to punish you in order to give your cash to lazy fuckers Day.’
Enjoy.
@nfdc_updates all the hype for the new wheelie bins and what happens today,they lift the lid and carry the black bags to the lorry as it has no facility to lift the bins.Why introduce a system when you’re not ready.🤡
I see our cowardly MPs have voted to continue slaughtering animals in the most brutal, barbaric method imaginable.
They are a disgrace to every right thinking, civilised person in the country.

🚨 NEW: Mike Amesbury, the Labour MP who beat the crap out of one of his constituents, is jailed for 10 weeks.
Lucy Connolly who wrote a stupid post on X, then deleted it, was jailed for TWO YEARS and seven months.
Two-tier justice in two-tier Britain.
Unfuckingbeliveable!
If people realised that it was Starmer who, when a barrister, won the case against the government back in the early 2000s that forced us to start paying benefits to illegal asylum seekers, the petition wouldn’t have 2.5 million signatures, it’d have 25 million. This should never be forgotten when Starmer’s name comes up. The little shit has cost the country tens of billions but still has the nerve to cancel Winter Fuel payments and force small farmers out of business. He’s basically evil. - Posted by Phrancisco on my TG channel
Can someone please explain why my state pension age has moved from 65 to 68 because apparently they can’t afford to pay it early , yet someone turns up illegally on a dinghy and is in receipt of £41000 pounds of taxpayer’s money each year ?
Comment by a police officer for 31 years:
"I constantly saw offenders get lenient sentences for far more serious crimes. Do politicians now control the judiciary and the police? This is the road to a broken British constitution and a totalitarian state"

Congratulations Kier Starmer. You've just pissed off everyone even more. This is a one term PM if he even gets that far. What an absolute disgrace of a man. The Labour Party are absolute filth.
Parts of Britain have been reduced to a state of barely governable medievalism. The rot runs deep. Basic levels of politeness, civility and neighbourliness have withered. Police officers are no longer willing or able to uphold the law. The Silent Majority is quietly despairing.
