  1. Sorry you're right. Young voter turnout was in the late 40's, with 25-35 well over 50%. Fucking 6th formers editing and subbing the Indy again! Charts
  2. The economy is used to enslave a mindset. If it stopped working tomorrow all of the exact same resources would exist, just the means of control and supply would be altered. Imagine a world where growth isn't the the word that commands the outlook, but prosperity and progress? There is, an estimated, $214T in the world, roughly 30m for every citizen of the planet, but growth means everybody would lose most and have to lend back, with interest, just to maintain a constant; others would stockpile and profit. Prosperity means 30m means nothing, breaking the illusionary facade of money as collectively we have all of the resources to influence progress. Imagine the illusion of debt being destroyed? It could be done over a generation, or two, with the will of the people uninfluenced by the powers that guide market forces, ideology, information and ideas. Interest rates are nothing more than control measures for individuals and illusionary.
  3. Or maybe, as horrible as it sounds, we genuinely are the minority and we get the government consensus wants. Fuck that's a bleak thought...
  4. A good point indeed, but two out of three under twenty fives voted in the most recent election and the cunts still got in! Self interest and stupidity are things that have to be unlearnt. We can't expect a generation of kids raised on greed to understand sharing without a paradigm shift.
  5. They already do with the astronomical on the day fares! I'm arguing that both are a fucking joke before anybody chimes in and re-nationalisation is long overdue. Fuck you, Thatcher, ya dead cunt!
  6. Expelled from school for carrying a knife at sixteen... Erased from his biography for reasons unknown!
  7. Gerrard overjoyed to finally cast off the shirt that has always weighed far heavier than anybody else around him.
  8. Bobs candle shop is closed as a sign of respect. http://www.carolgeescandles.com
  9. Anyone who had a heart would leave the shit puns and jokes aside for a true legend and show some respect!
  10. Yeah, that's the run of it. Make a go and others will pop up, or the supermarkets will widen their stock and undercut you. My wife runs a popular, busy, well reviewed restaurant, has done for two years....still not made a penny!
  11. I'm currently looking at opening a hybrid bar/shop with a friend. About 4/5 stools, maybe a table or two outside, a couple of ever changing kegs, cured meats and lots of off licence stock; good quality independent ales, ciders etc. Overheads being smaller is key for me. Has anyone been to Friends of Ham in Leeds, or Thomas Street in Manchester? Something like that is a fantastic idea, not sure about overheads though. I think in the right neighbourhood this type of model is a goer.
  12. Sorry, I ran a pub a couple of years ago before the condems made the competitions committee take a look at this monopoly. Anyhows that was just one of the pratfalls. Another example then. If you're making a go of it, as I was, doing ok, nothing special but food on the table. You will get screwed over at your annual review, or however long your contract is. The pub co's have a habit of raising you rent to, suspiciously, where you profit celing is! Genuinely, if you can get a freehold, or work for a decent brewery, which are few and far between, then go for it, but if not you're on a hiding to nothing. Ran pubs/bars for a few years and all I got out of it were stress, debt, hassle. Fantastic couple of years as a young single bloke with a pub though!
  13. Avoid at all costs! If you can afford freehold then fine, but if not you'll end up working 100hr weeks which actually costs you to work. The pub co's screw you over at any given opportunity; example they'll charge you x5 the price of a barrel if you were to buy independently and you are tied to their beer, and therefore prices! If dealing with dickheads, sharks, long days, no holidays, no days off as you have to be near premises at all times, staff being cunts, bills which you can't pay, incurring debt for chasing your 'dream', arsehole companies and all manner of other life destroying things sounds like your idea of fun go for it! It really is a mugs game, and there will always be plenty of mugs willing to chase the 'dream'...
  14. We are not fucking worker ants, we have evolved past that. The Crown Estates are being sold off for a pretty penny to anycunt who is willing pay over the odds to own prime estate in Blighty. These are lands that belong to the state, who by proxy Liz is secretary of, and they are being shrilled off for huge profits which go straight into her personal account, which she CHOOSES to pay tax on. She, or rather they, made £400m profit, this is exclusive of the the royal family social security they receive for being them. In total the family will take out, sell, profit on, deal in and otherwise steal about 1b from public coffers per year, that's conservative maths. At the other end of the scale benefit cheating equates to about 1.4b. Fuck what they bring, let's turn Buck House in to a homeless shelter and Windsor Estates into the biggest Weatherspoons in the land. These parasites are approching the end of their public susceptibility lifecycle, but, they'll take away a hefty pension of land, loot and licentious behaviour. Only fear what's next will be even more Inhumane than this shit show...
  15. She was called Julie, the nightmares won't go away, I can still taste he occasionally. Never have been, or will again be, that drunk. Edit: Fuck, it's all coming back now. The lube, the wrinkles, the 'sexy' talk, the state of the house, the kid who kept banging on the door as he asked 'who that mummy, my new dad?', her reply 'shut the fuck up, Harry'. The smell, oh the fucking smell! I'm not sure what's worse the deed done or knocking in to a mate as I was running away in the middle of the night and ending up in another club still smelling of her and her pigsty of a home. I need the bleach again!
  16. To paraphrase. 'Are Pickled Onion Monster Munch the best crisps in the world?' 'They're not even the best flavour in the Monster Munch multipack'
  17. So the cannon fodder in the British Army then? Genuinely it's disgusting how some of the infantry talk about any one who isn't by the grace of God 'British'
  18. Illmerendi + 25M for Sterling; Rafa will be well up for this as he needs to ease out Plastic Ronaldo as part of his remit and he who runs like a chicken who knows his maker is casting a shadow and whose end product is little more than Ryan 'Babelcopter' Babel fits the profile of disposable Glatwaticos to last a season. 25M + Ballotelli for Pjanić. It's a goer fear not. There is the Sterling money accounted for. Sell Allen, Borini, Lambert, Enrique, Coates, Lovern and Lallana (All expendable and add fucking nothing to us!) 30M, at a push? With the 30m cash injection from FSG = 60M left to spend. 10M + Lucas for Kovačić. Vietto 18M Clyne 15M Kondogbia 20M I'm hoping Ojo and Ibe step up and Markovic really pushes on for the wide positions. That would make us champions of the fucking universe. PIECE.OF.FUCKING.PISS!
  19. Whats 65k between friends? I'm sure the signing on fee, which has been reported as between 6/12 Million will help him through the baron winters on his stipend of 100+k P/W. Poor soul. Which ever way you 'read' it it is fucking obscene! No go grab your fucking shine box, prick.
  20. 29 years old and a very 'average' career which has seen him sit on City's bench as their Jack of all trades. He'll command a hefty signing on fee as well. James Milner, James fucking Mllner will make off this deal around £25,000,000 basic pay, before you even start to think about bonuses and endorsements. Fucking.ing.hell! The shark has just been jumped!
