It's hilarious that there's a whole fanbase that wants this boy to be some tortured art and literature intellectual but he's really just a NYC wigga dude bro who loves bad bitches and coke.
We have nearly 2 million people unemployed in the UK.
The Government is relentlessly taxing businesses - so they can’t afford to employ people.
But now they are giving businesses £5k back per foreign worker they hire. It’s madness.
Lewis Hamilton, you are worth £435 million. If you have such a problem with how much wealth one person can have, then start by donating your hundreds of millions?
These champagne socialists are just the worst.
It's absolutely baffling to see the backlash against this announcement.
Imagine complaining that the UK is securing a multi-billion-pound private investment.
Let's look at the actual numbers: taxpayers are funding £1.3bn for local roads & a new rail station. In return, Universal is spending £5 billion to build the park and another £1 billion operating it.
Bedford(& the UK) gets 28,000 total jobs, a massive revitalization of a former industrial site, & a projected £50 billion economic boost.
The sheer cynicism around projects like this is exactly what holds the UK back. If we treat massive, job-creating investments as something to be outraged about, we only guarantee our own economic stagnation.
£35,000 a year in the UK in 2026 puts you in the lower class.
15 years ago it was a comfortable graduate salary that bought you a decent flat, a few holidays a year, a savings habit, and the realistic prospect of a house.
Today it gives you take-home of about £2,200 a month. Rent on a one-bed in any city worth living in starts at £1,200. Council tax £170. Energy and bills £300. Food £400. Travel £200. That's £2,270, before you've bought a single thing for pleasure.
You're behind on day one of every month.
The wage hasn't moved much in real terms in 15 years. The cost of everything around it has roughly doubled.
Every wage bracket has shifted up by one rung — the £35K that put you firmly in the middle class 15 years ago barely keeps you afloat now, and the salaries that used to count as struggling are quietly slipping into poverty.
The official conversation hasn't caught up.
Anyone calling this an 'economy that works for ordinary people' isn't talking to many ordinary people.
Pep Guardiola on having a stand named after him at the Etihad Stadium: "What can I say? It's the biggest recognition, more than anything else. In generations, 'Who is that guy? Who is that name?' They'll say, 'Ah he was a guy, a bald guy, won some trophies'..." [via @ManCity]
Taxing people who get 4% on their uninvested cash while inflation erodes the same cash at 5% a year, all while considering this cash has already been at taxed between 20-45% before it was even eligible to be put in an ISA, is crazy.
