@TheAnfieldTalk not at all its very consistent, consistently awful

@welt_empfaenger @__Amoxicillin_ Nope, this is a lie made up by democrats. Nothing is being withheld, except documents they are LEGALLY REQUIRED to hold back or redact.

Sometimes honesty works against you in modern football.
If Virgil van Dijk throws himself to the floor like Gabriel did in the North London derby , the whistle probably goes. The contact gets magnified. VAR slows it down. The referee is forced into a decision. But he stays on his feet.
He tries to defend honestly. He trusts the game to reward strength, balance, and integrity. And that honesty costs Liverpool because in today’s game, staying up can make it look like nothing happened. No fall. No drama. No foul.
That’s the paradox football says it wants toughness. It says it doesn’t want players going down easily. But the reality? If you don’t go down, you don’t get the call.
So what’s the lesson players learn?
- Don’t be strong.
- Don’t be honest.
- Make sure the referee sees it.
And that’s the part that hurts because sometimes doing the right thing on your feet ends up being the wrong decision on the scoreboard.

Why is it that when Farage or Reform claim something, the media just repeat it uncritically?
Well done @ZackPolanski for calling this out.

Warning: The Green Party winning the Westminster by-election is even worse than Labour being in power
It signals a HUGE political shift towards taking everything off everyone. In case you didn't know here are the Green Party's ‘policies’
>Fully open the boarders
>Grant immigrants more funding
>Abolish Landlords completely
>Tenants can buy their house minus all rent paid to date
>Min. wage of £15 regardless of age
>Universal basic income & universal credit
>Increase capital gains tax up to income tax levels
>Spend £10s of billions more on the NHS
>150,000 new social housing homes a year
>Voting for 16 & 17 year olds
>Wealth taxes
>Write off/ignore the £110billion national debt interest
Oh, & bigger breasts for all women (IYKYK)
So this is what Manchester have voted for. Someone please enlighten me as to why?

@LeftNatLeft And imagine only being on 30000 a year .You fuckers are moaning when on 65000 and above

@cheshire_family @abracing0 they have more of a idea on the world than other politicians who grew up in well off house with rich parents
English

@abracing0 Hannah and Zach are just in this for their egos. They haven’t got a clue about the real world. If they ever got into power they would destroy this country more than Labour have currently. No borders, all migrants to get free houses & don’t have to work! Ridiculous.
English

@abracing0 so if legalising drugs is wrong then we need to make alcahol illegal as well its same if not worse than most drugs
English

🚨 WATCH: Keir Starmer says the Green Party's policy to legalise all drugs would "shatter lives"
"As a father of a 17 year old son, the idea that when he turns 18... it would be lawful to provide him with heroin and crack cocaine.. is absolutely disgusting"

@robprogressive slap the extra in a pension like the rest of you over paid people do
English

Imagine turning down a pay rise because it would make you poorer…
That’s exactly what happens when you start earning over £100k
If you’ve got children in nursery then you’re better off earning £99,999 than £150,000
In the U.K. we literally penalise people for earning more. No wonder high earners are leaving
English

@Trader__007 @robprogressive Why do people stick up for these tax dodging arse holes. do you think they care about you
English

@robprogressive How many British people did it employ ?
How much employers NI did it pay ?
How much rent did it pay landlords ?
How much business rates did it pay ?
How much Ni & tax did the employees pay ?
Without companies like Starbucks what do you think would happen to the UK ?

@ooogatz @Arron_banks And with the help of ai ,its only going to get worse
English

@Arron_banks 40% of the entire population is on benefits , that’s the real issue
English

@robprogressive They used too, insurance used to go down when never claiming now goes up. And then struggle to get your money off them when needed.
English

@secretclubprov the problem is not the employees wages its the greedy xxxxx at the top taking far to much.
English

@BellaWallerstei @thetimes The low paid will have benifits added to wage . The real problem here is people are paid to little . Blame the employers for under paying.
English

A single parent with three kids currently gets £20,978 in benefits. Without the two-child cap, it jumps to £24,491 well above what a full-time minimum wage worker takes home - £21,807 (@thetimes). Why work at all if benefits pay more?
English

@BigBearF1 Also a lot of people are on benefits also work as they dont earn enough to live of as, the high earning boss pays shit wages
