So much wrong with this.

What?

Well it is. We don’t pay him for rehab. Not many places where your work will pay for your rehab either TBH. Sorry BD you won’t get me feeling sorry for cocky 20-something millionaires. Not in this economy.

Im enjoying how we now judge all our leaders by their preparedness for rain. Proper British Values.

I think a lot of that was clipped and cropped videos and over analysis which happens with every politician and public figure. If it was someone IRL it probably wouldn’t even register let alone be a talking point for years later.

Were those things specifically British? I don’t go for the Apple (or meat) pie freedom and pride and respect. These are basics of every civilisation. It’s more things like a sense of fair play (see queuing, justice for the underdog, etc) IMO. You notice going to other places a sense of chaos...

Biden wasn’t particularly strange in 2020, the last year he’s clearly slowed and made more flubs. But he’s been a fairly normal American guy before, well for a politician. Trump is a product of the internet and meme culture so was selected for being weird really. Easy to make memes out of Trump...

This thread has gone some places

Will bet my net worth this is YouTubers

Played more minutes than Palmer and Sakamoto and only slightly less than Bidwell TBF.

Israel lobby is strong there. Mix of rich Jews on the left and rich crazy Christians on the right with fanatic Israel support for very different reasons. Plus lots of anti Muslim racism across the piece.

Not many people get a year off work on full pay for work related illness TBF

Yes and I am risking losing me loan to William Hill when I place a bet. This isn’t a slight at Doug, it’s a fact about having no expertise in a business beyond being rich.

Probably being dense here. But kids kit has no VAT right? So pre VAT isn’t the kids shirt more than the adults? (£50/1.2 = £41.67)

The joke “how do you make a small fortune in football? Start with a large one” exists for a reason. There’s poker players who have won big too. There’s always gambling success stories. They aren’t representative.

Wonder if they’ll release some of their land for housing and infrastructure too. New Towns and the like are right up Charlie’s street. And they’ve got enough of it.

I don’t think losing money you’ve willingly gambled is a harm 🤷🏻‍♂️ (gambling addiction aside, though I’d argue with “willingly” in that case)

If King doesn’t expect to lose millions running a football club he’s in the wrong business.

No, gambling isn’t risk free. But if you gamble more than you can afford that’s on you. We live and die as a club on what the manager does.

It’s like me betting a tenner on a game and claiming I’m now more responsible than the manager for the results.
