  1. George Osborne makes a mint out of it despite being widely regarded as financially illiterate. His only jobs outside politics were data entry clerk for the NHS and folding towels in selfridges.
  2. The fuller length version of Pegasus compared to the aired TV version changes the dynamic in that episode, there's a cut line where Adama says she was "very well connected and made admiral above half the names on the list".
  3. I reckon the problem is he should have broken the side up sooner. They won the treble so lack of hunger is always going to set in. Give ferguson his due he built multiple title winning teams.
  4. Interviewed by Beth Rigby again yesterday with that twat nick candy. Was on questiontime again last week the turd. The media made this monster for clicks and hits.
  5. I'm a farmer and I get up at 5am. I'm a fucking hero. Don't then, go and work in B&M and give your land to someone who works there. I'm immigrant Holly Vallance who spends her days spending her husband's money, I think the west Africans working in care homes should be sent back as they offer nothing to society.
  6. Nowt wrong with that. There's also nothing wrong with nepotism, inheritance or using connections to get ahead. What I don't like is when people don't acknowledge that fact and feed into the idea that rich = hard working and poor = lazy. It's done purely as an excuse to deliberately overlook the inequalities in society. The great Arnold Schwarzenegger himself said: "There's no such thing as a self made man."
  7. The lack of builders statistic is worse than it seems, because out of every five at least three will be lazy bastards.
  8. It's just pure propaganda. I went with a mate to some funding thing years ago as he's got his own business and they were talking about Britain's entrepreneurial mindset being different to America. They said yanks by and large wanted to start a business and build an empire, whereas the Brits just wanted to sell up as soon as possible and retire. The whole culture is built on a quick buck and being a bum, it probably stems from the aristocracy. Form clubs to scratch each other's backs, get others to do your graft, be they peasants or slaves, then read the times and drink brandy while pretending you're erudite and sophisticated.
  9. Some of the poorest people I've ever met are the hardest working. Woman my Mrs knew had three jobs and was broke. She was a dinner lady, school cleaner then went to work in B&M. The richest people are often bottom feeders. Property flippers, speculators and the likes. The idea that the wealthy contribute more is horseshit, as was evidenced by covid, shop workers and care workers were essential, yet were and are paid pennies. I read a thing a while ago about how the states and Western Europe were built by the protestant work ethic. Not the work ethic itself alone, but frugal lifestyles that meant people saved their money and had their own wealth. That's exactly what our system doesn't want. It doesn't want you to have financial freedom, no matter how hard you work. It wants you treading hot coals so the fear of destitution keeps you motivated to eat shit. Note too how poor our adult education system is. If you want to retrain for a better paid job good luck with that, unless you want to paint nails while speaking conversational Spanish. I'm not into conspiracies but is it any surprise that after lockdown, when people saved money as they had nothing to spend it on (you couldn't get a builder in Liverpool as everyone had loads of money to spend on extensions and the likes), people were quitting jobs to pursue their dreams of, you know, happiness. The great resignation. Then emerged a 'cost of living' crisis and now all same said people are broke again and fearing for the future. * strokes chin. So in the context of minimum wages it doesn't matter. Any rises barely touch the sides anyway and it's largely performance art. The issue is the fundamental stricture of our society and how wealth flows (doesn't flow) through it. The destructive evidence is around us for all to see. And that's not going to change until we hit rock bottom, which I fear we're not far off.
  10. He'd be a spy's dream mark. Arrogant and thick as fuck.
  11. Fuck is going on in New Jersey? 'drones' are being sighted almost nightly now, some as big as cars, no explanation.
