@idris_lfc1 Wtf is this

Pyramid of Liverpool legends

@PSGNJ1 @lesbourbon You know all of your examples were a success in Ligue 1 idk what you’re getting at

@lesbourbon Premier League Golden Boot winner btw

So a Ligue 2 player last season is now breaking records in the “high intensity” Premier League? Interesting.

Lewis handed Whately a shovel and she dug herself a massive hole. Priceless.

@MColl_UK @DariBigMo @person31433 @who_is_you10 @implausibleblog Who funded Hamas?

@DariBigMo @person31433 @who_is_you10 @implausibleblog Israel weren't in Gaza from 2005 to 7 Oct 2023. Gaza and the West Bank were under the control of Hamas and the PA. The only control Israel had was who went in or out of Israel. Many Gazan's worked in Israel.

Natasha Devon, "I hear this accusation all the time, that anti racism groups don't do enough to include Jewish people" "I just want to try and pour some clarity on that if I can" "When the appalling stabbing happened, Keir Starmer called a COBR meeting. He brought together some leading thinkers to ask what more could be done to tackle antisemitism. The Met police called for more funding to protect Jewish communities. The media gave it pretty much its undiverted attention for days" "That is the correct response" "That response did not happen when a Muslim woman was targeted by a hit and run" "When a Sikh woman was sexually assaulted by a racist who thought she was Muslim" "Or when 50 mosques were targeted between Juen and October 2025" "We don't see the same response" "Antiracism campaigners are looking at where they are needed" "When these appalling attacks happen to the Jewish communities we have the correct response" "When it happens to other communities: women, LGBT, black people, Muslims, not the same urgency is applied"

@Floatymcfloater @MWhitmore16302 @CallumLyon @PeverellTom What about single parent families?

@MWhitmore16302 @CallumLyon @PeverellTom Why would you have one income in a family?

How the fk are people working full time on minimum wage in the UK meant to actually survive alone? The maths just doesn't add up: Take home pay after tax, national insurance and pension contributions for a 37.5 hour work week (because let's face it, all these employers who really care about you don't pay you for your breaks so you're not getting a full 40 hours) is around £1700 You're lucky to rent anywhere nowadays under £800. Council Tax is now around £220 a month. Utilities are at least another £350. Then there's the weekly food shop, you're looking at a minimum of £70 a week. Just with the basics in this scenario you're left with £50 to last you the whole month. And that's without even adding transport or anything going wrong. Minimum.wage in the UK does not cover minimum living requirements. Something really needs to change. No wonder nobody wants to work anymore.

@PeterMcCormack Aren’t they planning on reforming business rates for small businesses in order to tackle this issue?

A simple message to the silly socialists. You’re upset by businesses telling you that they will fail with the minimum wage increase. You’re telling business owners silly things like if you can’t pay the minimum wage then you don’t have a viable business. I want to make this easier to understand, because if you mean what you say, you want people to have jobs and earn a liveable wage. So listen, businesses fail for all kinds of reasons, mainly because they are unprofitable. We are seeing a wave of business closures at the moment because of the compounding costs from the state against a cost of living crisis. To make a cup of coffee profitable it has to eat a lot costs: - 20% VAT (the inputs can’t be claimed back) - Business rates (a tax before you earn) - Rising NI costs - Employment rights load - Rising energy costs - Inflation All these are imposed by the state. There is also a time tax with all the accounting, HR and regularity requirements which impose cost of consultants and time costs to ensure compliance, distracting owners from operating their businesses. Then there are the other normal costs. A business owner needs to make a profit else the business fails. If the business fails there are less jobs and lower tax receipts. If there are less jobs then public services crumble and welfare requirements increase. This is a compounding problem and what leads to the downward spiral of a country. So… where does the money come from if there are less jobs. The government borrows it, that increase in the money supply drives more inflation, making life more expensive for the people you want to help. Some who now don’t have the job they once had. So what now? What is your plan? I get it, you don’t really have one, this is what has happened to every socialist state, this is how a country goes from rich to poor. We have no divine right to be a wealthy nation and can certainly lose that status. So this is your challenge, can you accept society has a distribution of wealth which means there are rich and poor or would you rather everyone was poorer as long as there are no rich. That’s what socialists tend to want, though I have a secret for you, you can’t get rid of people being rich. I know you think profit is ugly, but the profit motive is what creates business and jobs. So anyway. I’m going to keep promoting proper economics because that’s how a nation becomes prosperous and prosperity leads to a net better outcome for all. This does mean I am going to have to make fun of your stupid socialist ideas. Good luck, read a book and stop being a dumb dumb.

The most revealing thing in this post is that the worker’s need to live never appears as a real business cost. VAT is real. Business rates are real. Energy bills are real. National Insurance is real. Rent is real. Beans, milk, cups, insurance, accountants, card fees, compliance, all real. But the person making the coffee needing enough money to pay rent, eat, heat their home, travel to work and not rely on state top-ups? Suddenly that is “silly socialism”. No. That is the cost of labour. If your business model depends on paying people less than they need to live, then the state is not attacking your business by demanding higher wages. The state is currently propping your business up by letting taxpayers subsidise the gap between what you pay and what your staff need to survive. That is the bit you cannot grasp, or do not want to grasp. You say businesses fail because they are unprofitable. Fine. Businesses do fail. But “I can only make a profit if my workers stay poor” is not a serious moral defence of a business. It is a confession. You say a cup of coffee has to absorb lots of costs. Yes. Welcome to business. But you are treating wages as the flexible bit that must always be squeezed so your business model survives. Nobody says, “If you can’t afford coffee beans, just get the taxpayer to provide the beans.” Nobody says, “If you can’t afford electricity, tell the staff to sit in the dark and call it prosperity.” But when the unaffordable item is the person being doing the work, suddenly everyone is supposed to become very mature and economically literate about poverty pay. You also get VAT badly muddled. VAT-registered businesses can generally reclaim VAT on goods and services bought for business use, and the VAT registration threshold is turnover above £90,000. So this line about 20% VAT and inputs not being claimable is not the killer argument you think it is. The bigger point is simpler. Workers do not get to tell landlords, supermarkets, energy firms and train companies that their boss has “compounding costs” so everyone must please wait quietly while they are paid less than a living wage. The worker’s bills have compounded too. Their rent has gone up. Their food has gone up. Their energy has gone up. Their council tax has gone up. Their travel has gone up. Funny how “proper economics” always discovers pressure when it lands on the owner, but turns into a lecture on realism when it lands on the staff. The Green proposal is £15 an hour by April 2027. The real Living Wage is already £13.45 across the UK and £14.80 in London, calculated on what people need to live, not what a struggling employer would prefer to pay. And even before that, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation found that a single working-age adult on the National Living Wage was nearly £7,000 short of the gross income needed for a minimum acceptable standard of living in 2025. So spare us the sob story that £15 is some wild Bolshevik fantasy. It is much closer to the actual cost of surviving than poverty pay dressed up as realism. You say jobs will disappear. That is always the threat. Every time wages rise, the same people emerge to announce that civilisation will collapse because a cleaner, waiter, carer or barista might be able to pay a bill without choosing which meal to skip. Yet the Low Pay Commission’s latest judgement was that recent National Living Wage increases have not had a significant negative impact on employment. That does not mean every business has no pressure. Of course small businesses are under pressure. Business rates need reform. Energy costs are brutal. Rents are often obscene. Big chains can absorb shocks that small independents cannot. But none of that proves workers should be the shock absorber. It proves the economy has been built so badly that the smallest businesses and the lowest-paid workers are set against each other while landlords, energy firms, banks and large corporations walk away with the margin. Your welfare argument is even worse. Universal Credit is explicitly available to people who are working but on low incomes, and as earnings rise, Universal Credit is tapered down. That means low wages and public spending are already linked. The taxpayer is already helping cover the living costs that low-pay employers do not meet. So when you ask “where does the money come from?”, one answer is: from the business that uses the labour. That is not extremist. That is basic decency. Profit is not ugly. Profit made by selling a product people want, paying suppliers properly, paying workers enough to live, and still having something left over is perfectly defensible. Profit made by underpaying staff and then expecting the public to top them up through benefits is not heroic enterprise. It is a business model leaning on the state while pretending to despise the state. And this “read a book” routine is always funny from people whose entire economic theory seems to be: owners must be protected from hardship, workers must be exposed to it, and taxpayers must quietly make up the difference while being lectured about socialism. A liveable wage is not a luxury add-on. It is the price of employing a human being. If a business cannot pay rent, it cannot use the building. If it cannot pay suppliers, it cannot use the stock. If it cannot pay energy bills, it cannot keep the lights on. And if it cannot pay workers enough to live, it should not expect applause for creating jobs that keep people poor.

They killed tens of thousands of Palestinian children then held a vigil for two Jews who were non-fatally stabbed, ignoring the Muslim who was also stabbed Performative, racist, agenda-driven garbage

@ClaudiaWebbe @Olliek74 @implausibleblog Surely this is a parody account?

@Olliek74 @implausibleblog What? I am sure you are not telling a Black woman what to do. Those days are long gone. No motive is required for Jewish people to interpret or feel the repeated violent attack as antisemetic - that is racism. No ‘but’ is required

Two Jewish men stabbed in London. No socialist should hesitate: antisemitism is racism. Racism is the enemy of the working class.

Perspective. As the general public are now aware a double stabbing took place in Golders Green, an area of London heavily populated by Jewish people. The two men attacked are now recovering from this unjustified attacked by the ‘alleged’ Somali Muslim degenerate. Yesterday the Prime Minister turned up in Golders Green arriving in a phalanx of official vehicles and was roundly booed by many Jews. Starmer had earlier released information that he had chaired a COBRA meeting and raised the threat level against Jews to ‘its highest level’. Interesting. In England & Wales there were 49,151 knife offences recorded in the year to December 2025. Hazard a guess as to how many times the prime minister turned up the following day to show both sympathy and concern? In the year to June 2025, total homicides in London numbered 101. Was there a single time that the prime minister turned up the following day to show concern or assembled COBRA in response? Below is a picture of 15 year old Jermaine Goupall who was murdered with a samurai sword on his way home from cinema. I went to his funeral. His father Stanley is a childhood friend of mine. He is a brilliant engineer and taught his only child Jermaine everything he knew about that business. A steady middle class hardworking individual. There was no government statement, no COBRA meeting, no parliamentary questions, no extra investment in ‘security’. Nothing. Perhaps all humans are equal, but some humans are more equal than others? 🤷🏽‍♂️ #Think

“I played right back this season” 😭😭

Mo Salah watches on as players and managers pay homage to him ❤️ Full video out tomorrow 🍿

This is utterly horrific. The body-worn footage is damning—huge questions for the police. 😮 @BBCNews suggests clear collusion between MET & @NorthantsPolice to hide evidence! Massive respect to brave Nadine Buzzard-Quashie and @JonIronmonger’s journalism. Heads must roll.

@yungdaveGH @DougieCritchley @YrkshireFinest Coutinho was a child in Serie A, Hazard couldn’t recover from ankle injury and got fat

@billythomas95 @DougieCritchley @YrkshireFinest Look how good Bruno hazard coutinho all flopped in serie a and la liga?

Premier League disciples will have you believe that the only reason we can’t play this level of football is because our schedule is too intense and the players are too tired. That might be a contributing factor, but I’m afraid we also have to acknowledge that, as much as I love players like Rice, Caicedo, Saka, Palmer, James, Semenyo etc… the list goes on… they just aren’t quite at the same level. Which is fine, we’re talking about THE BEST players in the world. But we as Premier League fans do have a tendency to overrate players playing in England, particularly if they’re English!

@hxuyaywg8387278 @jarodcito @Gavigoat8 @Fredg2005 @caporegimes True but so was Messi, it was often CL that swung it

9 league starts in april 2026 cannot get you ballon d'or shouts, that is genuinely preposterous

@DaSalvatore5 @Kwabbyezzus @karelprince_ All 20 PL teams have budgets bigger than CL teams nowadays. Spurs finished 4th in CL groups, Forest are in Europa semi finals, it’s tough every week

@billythomas95 @Kwabbyezzus @karelprince_ If your squad players aren’t good enough to step in and beat relegation threatened teams 8/10 times, you don’t have good enough squad players. That’s on the club, not the state of the game.

PSG could be an extreme example to the rule but do I think the top premier league teams should be able to rest players and still win against a good third of the league.

@yungdaveGH @DougieCritchley @YrkshireFinest Look how good Gyokores looked in Portugal

@billythomas95 @DougieCritchley @YrkshireFinest Nonody that doesn't perform in Europe or the world stage can be considered elite. It's got nothing to do with t5 bullshit.

@ZoeJardiniere They’d rather import labour on poor wages than pay natives properly, they create conditions where natives can’t afford to have families

A shrinking, ageing population is a Very Bad Thing. And this trend is the real reason our welfare bill & public services feel unaffordable for our population. Immigration is the only thing that has been keeping us afloat. Like it or not.
