None of our players are shit

No Woolfenden on there though.

If you bothered to read what I put I didn't say that the tax changes hadn't benefitted everyone - I said they had disproportionately benefited those on higher incomes more and the fact there was a small benefit to lower income was a handy selling point. It's a smart way of helping the richer...

It's his IQ

His signing video is him holding up his contract saying "I believe we have a piece of our side"

I don't disagree with it increasing by inflation but the argument being made was they made these changes (which were well above inflation) for the benefit of average people. They weren't. It was for the benefit of those who are richer. The fact that it would have a small benefit to those on...

Ok, let's deal with those then. When the personal allowance is increased it actually benefits the rich most, as it means less of their income is in higher tax brackets. Also the same with upping the upper tax band. £42k at the time was well above the average wage (and still is) so actually...

Well when they earn many, many, many times more from the person actually doing the work if it is redistribution it's to the rich.

I'm not dreaming. He literally did let rioters, who were involved breaking into the seat of government resulting in someone dying, out of prison.

And I'm just pointing out that that's redistribution of wealth. You know, the thing capitalism doesn't want unless it's to them.

What like those that turned violent trying to overturn a legal election that saw someone get killed? Oh no, wait. He let them out didn't he.

I think it's the announcement of the new Materchef host and the claim (possibly by Grendel) that the showed made the BBC billions a year. EDIT: https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/masterchef-gets-cooked.170456/#post-3419287

Well because a redistribution of wealth does not mean an equal redistribution. It means a fair and equitable one. Those that work hard deserve more than those that do not. Those that have jobs that require specialist skills or knowledge deserve more than those that do not. Those that work in...

Bloody illegal immigrants taking all the housing!

Who's saying they should give all the money up? What is being asked is for a fairer allocation of that wealth. And that doesn't mean everyone gets the same. It means recognising the value that everyone brings. Hard work should see you get more. Can anyone work hard enough to say they deserve...

Well in some ways it is. Bezos is renowned for paying poor wages and having poor working conditions and restricting access to things like unions. Others, such as Uber etc, are even worse basically proving zero hours contracts or treating you as self employed so you have to buy all the equipment...

And who's paying for that free childcare? It ain't actually free. Someone somewhere is getting taxed and redistributing the wealth to you. Nice to see you agree with socialist principles rather than if you chose to have kids so you should pay for it yourself.

Saw that Four Pounds Avenue has flags on the lamposts earlier today.

It may well be you've become more right wing as you've got older - it is apparently something that happens a lot. I think it's to do with not being able to adapt to change as easily as you get older, so parties that appear to want to maintain the status quo become more appealing. And it's the...
