@JSMONT83 @Damnedolecowboy @MichaelShurkin Yes, our government sucks, that's something we have in common. That and a whole bunch of other things. These ego clashes between the English and the French are ridiculous and must stop

Wasn't it the French Army that held off the Germans at Dunkirk?
Armchair Admiral 🇬🇧@ArmchairAdml
The main reason Britain is not speaking German is the RAF, Royal Navy and British Army. The Army held off the Germans and made it out of Dunkirk, the Navy was far stronger than Germany’s, and the RAF won the Battle of Britain. Wish we’d stop with this bullshit.

@Temeun @Damnedolecowboy @MichaelShurkin We pay you billions of year for doing a typical shit french job. You don't do it for free you idiot.
English
@JSMONT83 @Damnedolecowboy @MichaelShurkin And today we are helping preventing you to do your new British thing, letting your daughters being räped by pakis, by stopping them at Calais. All without showing any gratitude. Consider that the debt has been repaid, if there ever was one
English
@Temeun @Damnedolecowboy @MichaelShurkin You were doing your usual French thing of surrendering. Asking said empire to bail you out. All without showing any gratitude.
English
@JSMONT83 @Damnedolecowboy @MichaelShurkin You were doing your British thing. “Maintaining the balance of power on the continent.” Basically, making sure no one got strong enough to break through your blockade and come kick your ass on your island. The British strategy for centuries. Empires aren’t charities
English
@Temeun @Damnedolecowboy @MichaelShurkin Talking of humility, isn't it about time the French showed some ? What were the Brits doing in your country in the first place?
English
@Damnedolecowboy @MichaelShurkin Not everyone is lucky enough to be able to hide behind a sea and a wall of warships. Or better yet, an ocean. The Anglo-Saxon thalassocracy should learn humility

@MikeTimgor @Skint_Eastwood1 None of the Nordic countries are socialist though. Sweden and Norway have more billionaires capita than the UK. They are ultra capitalist
English
@Skint_Eastwood1 Has he been to any of the Nordic countries? Yes he has and guess what one of his team experienced socialist healthcare after smashing their car into a walk
He wasn’t talking out of his arse then

🚨Jeremy Clarkson RIPS Into Jeremy Corbyn And His Socialism Dream
“I lived through the 70s, I know what socialism is, and I’ve seen it at work around the world, in places like Cambodia and Venezuela, It doesn’t work, and it’s dangerously doesn’t work.”
“It’s a hopeless, hopeless proposition.”

@Chrisc8735 @PremSportsTV @anthonywatson_ @dallaglio8 More like 400k with his club salary on top of central contract
English
@PremSportsTV @anthonywatson_ @dallaglio8 Step in and do what? Is 150k not enough, this isn’t a slight in Tom! But what else do you want the RFU to do?
Maybe he just wants to play and live in France and feels that’s the right move for him

"The RFU should have stepped in... he is a future England captain" 🗣️
@anthonywatson_ and @dallaglio8 discuss the blow of losing Tom Willis next season for both Saracens and England 💫

@TeagueRoger @mitchy8900 It's quite simple offer PS workers the equivalent private sector wage and most would be more than happy to forfeit their pension.
English
@mitchy8900 I agree do that and you remove that huge underwritten debt for public sector pensions the tax payer is liable for.
A level playing field for all. Let's put an end to gold plated pensions.
English
I'd seriously look at the gold plated defined benefit schemes paid to public sector employees at a cost of £5.1Bn a year with a total liability for unfunded public sector pensions at roughly £1.3..£1.5 trillion.
Remember, that's on top of getting the State Pension!
Reem Ibrahim@ReemAmirIbrahim
Government pensions are a scam. Younger workers are paying more and more to fund a system that is mathematically impossible to sustain. Would you scrap the triple lock?
English
@unionjackspirit @Wolfismithbrake @sophielouisecc So are you now in turn going to pay the likes of social workers, surveyors, teachers and nurses comparable salary to their private sector equivalents?
English
@Wolfismithbrake @sophielouisecc Not presuming "none do any work" or "all of them" – but many public sector roles have generous defined benefit pensions (often final salary-linked) funded by taxpayers, with employer contributions far higher than private sector averages.
English
If we are complaining about pensions then we should be complaining about the gold plated public sector pensions of civil servants, council workers that actually do very little
Why are we paying for them to have absurdly high pensions yet draw the line at the triple lock?
English
@LoftusSteve Great, now pay skilled PS workers 10k extra wages PA to offset their purposely deflated wages and 90% would sign up voluntarily.
English
A super easy place to start with pension reform.
If you get a public sector pension above £20,000 per annum you lose your state pension. This is easy for the Gov to track and should be phased in gradually so it's £20k for 2040.

@brn_rorona @RugbyVous Gros for real? The French has the worst scrum in the 6 nations
The others without a doubt though
English

@Dononinho @ajsrugby How many world cups?
World wars..?
Always been a second rate nation. Always will be
English
@Dononinho @ajsrugby Mentally unwell. Not sure what Brexit has got to do with rugby
English
@slatterywill No it's always a penalty. It's a deliberate knock on. With no attempt to catch it
English
This sequence was a huge moment in deciding the Six Nations
Potentially the right call on the knock on (although we never got a replay) but really poor process from the officials
A scrum should have been called after Smith's kick given the confusion and mixed messages
Ben Coles@bencoles_
Steve Borthwick afterwards mentioned the confusion around this knock-on. Fin Smith kicked the ball away, having been told England had a penalty advantage, right as Nika Amashukeli said it was just a knock-on (after a call from the TMO) and that advantage was over. Led to Bielle-Biarrey's fourth (!) try. "I think that World Rugby needs to look at that kind of situation. You can't have the players playing with certain knowledge and then it taken away from them."
English
@Dononinho @ajsrugby You need a brain transplant 😂
How is that world cup cabinet ? Still full?
