@JohnWight1 Each individual is responsible for themselves and themselves only. We need to abolish benefits and start expecting that people take responsibility for their own welfare.











@PWestoff @BBCNews This is a background article of which there have been many on the BBC this month, and numerous reports on radio and TV. Your disgusting comments about the BBC & Islam suggest that you have an agenda, and that your tweet is tendentious.



So funny watching every one losing their minds over City replacing players. We've lost Ederson, Akanji, Walker, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Palmer, Mahrez, Alvarez, Grealish over the past 2 and a half years, with Ake, Stones, Bernardo and Kovacic all about to go in a few months too. That's THIRTEEN players. Are we literally just not meant to replace them? Dunno how much we've spent, but everyone is saying its about £500m since last Jan on bloody loads of players. Are people aware it's 2026 ffs? We're replacing all-timers. £500m would only get you KDB, Stones, Gundogan and Bernardo on that list at their best, and that's being generous. Good players cost a lot of money. Difference is, Pep fucking wins, so they can justify spending it to rebuild half the squad. It's not even that much per player when you break it down, or consider incomings too.
