    Sales of luxury goods seem to be doing well (assume you mean people are forced to work due to poverty but they have a growing middle class).

    How well do people think China are doing? Their figures are too good to be true and we’d assume are significantly massaged. But the economic data all looks good so the economy seems to be doing fine. This leads me to think the reality there can’t be that bad as people just wouldn’t have the...

    I saw the other week that a couple of seasons ago the only team to not make a loss was Rotherham and they went down. This league is a joke financially.

    I think this is a culture war play. Plays into the benefit scrounges and handouts narrative. Look at how many Tory MPs took the same line about FSM vouchers going towards drugs etc. It’s an horrendous, cynical game to drive another wedge in the population.

    In a parallel universe, upon reading this comment, loads of the Brexit voters facepalm as they realise why so many twitter comments they agreed with contained upside down exclamation marks.
