This interview with @frankwrighter, a mostly unknown citizen of the UK, is rightfully getting a lot of attention. His primary points, expressed with remarkable clarity and independence of thought: * Market worship by conservatives (Tories) has degraded society into soulless commoditization of human beings. * Neoliberal globalism deliberately obliterates identifiable culture and civilization in favor of one undifferentiated global mass of limitless consumerism, along with the destruction of dignity, community and work. * Western democracy is driven by branding exercises based on promises that are cynically designed never to be fulfilled. * Echoing the broader populist-right European view (except for Nigel Farage/Reform): The Trump/Netanyahu Iran War and others wars like it are fought for a tiny class of global elites, bringing nothing of value to ordinary citizens except debt and destruction. * The driving force behind these wars is Israel and these wars are fought for its interests. He's at a Restore Britain rally, but the overlap with a lot of populist left views is extremely obvious:

Any high-performing group evolves around the collective and creating the right dynamic. Brave and clear decisions from Tuchel 👏

Newport Pagnell Town Football Club is heartbroken to share that our First Team Goalkeeper has suffered a serious injury during a recent match against March Town United. Following thorough medical assessment, it has been confirmed that he has a broken jaw in three places. He is currently receiving the necessary care and treatment, and his recovery will begin away from the pitch. Due to the nature of this injury, he will be unable to work for some time and will miss out on earning additional income from playing football. This situation not only affects him personally but also impacts our entire club community — players, management, staff, volunteers, and supporters alike are deeply concerned for his well-being. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the medical staff who provided immediate assistance on the day of the incident. Their professionalism and support have been invaluable during this challenging time. We have also received an outpouring of messages filled with concern and well wishes from across the football community, which has truly uplifted our spirits. As we rally around our teammate in his time of need, we are launching this fundraising campaign with a target of £1,500 to help support him through his recovery journey. Your contributions will ensure that he can focus solely on healing without the added stress of financial burdens. We invite you to join us in showing your support for him during this difficult period. Together, we can make a difference and help him return stronger than ever. Thank you for your kindness and generosity as we look forward to welcoming him back when the time is right. justgiving.com/crowdfunding/k…

@PeterMcCormack Bit harsh - you’re football ability way higher than Rachel’s economic understanding

We’re so fucked!

How can the government regain the public's trust? Last year, @TrevorPTweets spoke Rachel Reeves who said she would not raise taxes. A year later, taxes are expected to rise in the Chancellor's November budget. trib.al/kdXA2Dr 📺 Sky 501

@RobiGoodman Some achievement that mate 👏

After a lot of research I have found out. Today will be my 880th match in men’s football! 👴🏼 ⚽️

Tax. We’ve all become so used to it, we forget how much we’re actually paying. It is relentless, even beyond death. And for what? If we had a semblance of functioning public services, I could maybe stomach it. But we don’t, so what are we actually paying all of this money for? We are subject to Scandinavian levels of tax for third-world levels of competence - what a toilet deal. Earn a salary. Income tax, a fifth gone before we’ve even started. National insurance, more on top of that. What for? A ‘world-class’ health service? The NHS? Ha. Good luck. Even getting to work costs - taxes on buying a car, running a car, insuring a car. Vast amount of road tax. Is that being well spent? Unless you want potholes you can paddle in, the answer is no. A road network built for half the amount of cars. How’s that going? It takes twice as long to get anywhere. Fuel duty and tax on insurance - whack that on top too. Congestion charges, tolls, fines and more. It goes on and on and on. Forget getting the train, that’ll cost twice as much and never runs on time - a season ticket into London costs thousands. Unaffordable. Yet the trains so often run empty? Maybe that system isn’t working… VAT on anything that moves - getting taxed to buy products/services, from already taxed money. Tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax. Then more tax. Did you go to university? Your ‘loan’ isn’t loan, it’s a tax. Interest is so sharp, you’re just paying that off each month. Hundreds gone, to pay for a sociology degree a decade ago. Ouch. Why are we saddling our youngsters with so much debt, with so much interest on top of that? Madness. Manage to put a few quid away to save? That gets taxed too - ISAs will be under attack in the budget. Profit made on successful investments, what happens? You guessed it. Tax. Somehow you’ve scrabbled a deposit together for a property. Well done. Paying half a million quid for a semi-detached? Not cheap. Stamp duty means you get slapped for thousands. Obviously first time buyer exemptions mean less and less as house prices soar. You’re in the house. Great news. Or so you thought. Council tax. Going up seemingly by 5% every year. Thousands of pounds a year. For what? To collect the bins? Really? Don’t forget the extra costs to have your garden waste removed. Brilliant. More insurance taxes, and of course VAT on any improvements you want to make. Bills soaring, with tax slapped onto every corner of it - green levies and the rest. How depressing. Time for a pint. Alcohol duty. Because of course. Why wouldn’t they throw extra tax on it? I’m not a smoker, but the same applies. Even holidays. Air passenger duty to put a few extra quid onto the price of a trip away. Just for good measure. You’re limping on through. Maybe you decide that starting your own business is the way to go? You get it up and running, starting to make a reasonable profit. Take a small salary - to pay for such luxuries as food and heating. As we know, that gets taxed. Alongside the costs. National Insurance. Business rates. Fees and licences. It is endless. What’s left after all that? A profit? Surely good news? Bang. Corporation tax. A big slice gone. After that, we can enjoy a handsome profit. Right? Nope. Dividend tax. With its brutal thresholds. What slivers you do take get taxed all over again when you want to actually buy something. Obviously. And the final kick in teeth. Inheritance tax. After everything, somehow, you’ve managed to put a reasonable amount of money away. After all that tax, you’ve succeeded in building a financial legacy to pass to your children - your business, and your own savings. Money you were taxed on the day you earned it, taxed when you saved it, taxed when you invested it, taxed to build your business. It gets taxed one final time. On both your personal savings, and also the value of your company. Even after death, it continues. What are we paying all this money for? Are our schools world-class? Borders secure? Police visible? NHS efficient? Economy thriving? Roads operational? No. No. No. No. No. No. NOTHING WORKS. Britain has the highest tax burden in most of our lifetimes, yet the worst services many of us have ever seen. If everything worked perfectly, there could maybe be an argument for such suffocating levels of tax. But it doesn’t, and hasn’t for decades, so there isn’t. When the taxpayers fail to fund this state monster of inefficiency and unaccountability, what do they do? QE. Print money. Creating inflation, devaluing our earnings and our savings. Yet one more tax. The people creating all of this, implementing all of this? £100k plus on the public sector, living in London. Comfortable salary, great pension, no job risk. Clueless about the real world. Maybe, just maybe, the current approach isn’t working. We need to urgently cut tax. Shrink government. Reward hard work. You just can’t tax a nation into prosperity. It never has worked, and it never will work. LEAVE OUR MONEY ALONE.

@ethanxflanagan 👊👊

Felt good that one + ⚽️⚽️

Do Labour really think Reform is leading the polls because Farage hasn't been called "racist" enough? Whatever your view of Reform, you can't possibly be deluded enough to think that people support them because they are unaware of Reform's views on immigration. The reality is the exact opposite: people support them BECAUSE of their views on immigration. So every time a Labour MP calls Reform racist, all they're doing is calling Reform supporters racist. Who came up with this genius strategy? At a time when their leader is one of the most unpopular PMs in modern British history they can't possibly think this will work, can they? To say nothing of the fake patriotism. Do they really think the British people don't remember Gordon Brown calling a pensioner bigoted for being concerned about immigration? Emily Thornberry posting a photo of an England flag and a white van with a sneering comment? A full decade of anyone who expressed any sort of pro-Britain sentiment being smeared? My sense is they're doing this because the few of them that are in some contact with reality understand what they need to do to beat Reform and know they can't do it. They can't make the economy grow because, for political reasons, they can't abandon Net Zero and, for political reasons, they can't cut welfare spending and, for political reasons, they can't stimulate business growth by cutting taxes. They can't stop illegal immigration because, for political reasons, they won't leave the ECHR and deport the 500k-1 mil illegal immigrants. So all they are left with is calling Reform racist while stealing their policies 🤣

🚨🇬🇧 “All UK Citizens will have to have it” “What if I just don’t get the Digital ID?” “Is there a fine for not doing it?” Watch how quickly Labour Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy buckles under the slightest bit of challenge around Digital ID - she knows she’s lying, we know she’s lying, she knows we know she’s lying.
