@74frankfurt Better quotes than burns!

@JamesTate121 In the late 90’s he also got the shit kicked out of him at the barrowlands for hitting a security guard. A roadie beat seven shades of shite out him 😂😂😂

In 1994, a recording studio employee cracked a homophobic joke around Trent Reznor. So Reznor went out, bought dozens of gay adult magazines, carefully clipped out the photos, and hid them everywhere around the studio. In drawers, behind equipment, inside CD cases. No argument. No lecture. Just a very committed arts-and-crafts project and one employee who presumably never made that joke again. Trent Reznor turns 61 today, and that energy has defined his entire career. The Nine Inch Nails frontman has quietly been one of the most consistent creative allies the LGBTQ community has - scoring Luca Guadagnino's "Challengers" (whose soundtrack took over gay clubs overnight) and a film literally called "Queer," starring Daniel Craig in a gay love story. He's never made a speech about it. He's never posted a rainbow logo. He just keeps showing up.

@JoshuaBarrieRR I am a fan of Danny but this was a Huge mistake. No reason Tav shouldn’t have started and even played 30 minutes. Let him walk out with his kids for his last game. Unbelievable frankly to do this to him after his years of service to the club.

Let me walk you through the financial reality of the average person in Britain. Because the numbers tell a story that most people feel but have never seen laid out. Start with net worth. Everything you own minus everything you owe. The median household net worth in the UK is £293,700. That sounds reasonable. Until you break it down. According to the ONS, around 40% of that is property wealth. Money locked inside a house you live in that you can only access by selling it or borrowing against it. 35% is private pension wealth. Money you cannot touch until age 55 under current rules, rising to 57 from 2028. 10% is physical possessions. Your car, your furniture. And 14%, roughly £41,000, is net financial wealth. Savings, investments, and ISAs, minus any financial liabilities like credit cards and loans. So the typical British household has a net worth of nearly £300,000 on paper. But only around £41,000 of that is financial wealth, and even that is not the same as cash in the bank. It includes investments that may take time to sell and ISAs that may be locked in fixed terms. Most of Britain's "wealth" is theoretical. It exists on a spreadsheet. It doesn't exist in anyone's bank account. And that's the median. Half of households have less than that. Now look at what people actually have saved. The FCA's Financial Lives survey found that one in ten UK adults has no cash savings at all. A further 21% have less than £1,000 to draw on in an emergency. One in four UK adults has been classified as having low financial resilience. Commercial surveys paint an even starker picture. A nationally representative 2026 Finder survey found that 16% of adults, around 8.9 million people, reported having no savings. Two in five said they had £1,000 or less. A quarter had £200 or less, which is less than the average person spends in a single week. Average savings for under-55s were just £9,888, dragged up by a small number of higher savers. The Money and Pensions Service reports that 11.1 million working adults on modest to low incomes do not regularly save at all. Now break it down by age. Because this is where the generational divide becomes undeniable. If you're aged 16 to 24, the median household net worth is £15,200. If you're 25 to 34, it rises to £109,800. But most of that is property equity if you've managed to buy, or pension wealth you can't access for decades. If you're 35 to 44, it's £209,600. Getting better, but again mostly locked in housing and pensions. If you're 55 to 64, median household wealth is £496,500. If you're 65 to 74, it peaks at £502,500. That peak is 33 times higher than the youngest group. Thirty-three times. The Institute for Fiscal Studies has found that there has been no substantial generation-on-generation wealth increase for anyone born from the 1960s onwards. The escalator that carried the post-war generations upward has stopped. Millennials are less likely to own a home by their early 30s than Gen X were at the same age. And Gen Z is entering adulthood into the most expensive housing market, the highest tax burden, and the weakest wage growth in modern history. Now look at the divide that sits underneath all of this. Property. The ONS reports that households who own their home outright have wealth more than 15 times higher than those who rent privately or from a social landlord. If you got on the housing ladder, your wealth accumulated almost automatically through rising property prices. If you didn't, you have almost nothing. Homeownership is the single biggest determinant of whether someone in Britain builds wealth or doesn't. And homeownership among young adults has collapsed. Then there's the regional picture. Median household wealth in the South East is £489,800. In the North East it's £179,900. The South East is 2.7 times wealthier. Same country. Same tax system. Same government. Fundamentally different economic realities. And at the extremes, the picture gets sharper. The wealthiest 10% of households hold assets of £1.2 million or more. The bottom 10% have £16,500 or less. Around 8% of households have negative net worth. They owe more than they own. And the top 1% hold at least £3.1 million. Now put all of this together. The typical British household has £293,700 in net worth, of which only about £41,000 is net financial wealth and even less is actual cash. The FCA says one in ten adults have no cash savings at all and a quarter have low financial resilience. The generational wealth escalator has broken. Renters have a fraction of the wealth of homeowners. The North East has a third of the wealth of the South East. And real wages have barely grown in fifteen years. The Resolution Foundation has described this period as one of severe economic stagnation. But the most striking thing about these numbers is not what they say about people who aren't working. It's what they say about people who are. The median full-time salary in the UK is about £37,400 a year. For someone paying income tax, National Insurance, a workplace pension contribution, and student loan repayments, take-home pay can be around £2,300 a month. ONS data shows average household spending is roughly £2,700 a month. Those aren't directly comparable figures, one is an individual earner, one is a household. But they help explain why, for the growing number of households relying on a single income, or where both earners are on modest salaries, there is almost no margin left. And where there is no margin, there is no saving. And without savings, there's no investment. Without investment, there's no compounding. Without compounding, there's no wealth. The cycle never starts. This is not a picture of a wealthy country. It is a picture of a country where wealth is concentrated in property and pensions, locked away from the people who need it most, distributed unevenly by age, region, and tenure, and increasingly inaccessible to anyone born after 1970. And the next time someone tells you Britain is the sixth richest country in the world, ask them where the money is. Because for millions of people it's nowhere. For a quarter of the population it wouldn't cover a month's emergency. And for the working people in the middle, it's mostly locked inside a house they can't sell and a pension they can't touch. The "fifth richest country in the world". Where a quarter of the population couldn't survive a month without income. Where real wages haven't grown in fifteen years. And where the average working person's actual accessible wealth would barely cover three months' rent. That's not wealth. That's the appearance of wealth. And the gap between the two is the story of modern Britain.

It's time, Radio 2.

The beauty of this is that its outside. smokers as well. getting the weed on. Now, I have smoked weed about 7 times in my long life. I have no issue with it. Wish we had politicians with the fuckin balls to make it legal. Glasgow could reap the tax rewards.

I've had an idea.

We’ve also got quite a few of this masterpiece arriving over the next few weeks. ❤️🤍💙

@realMaalouf Where is an out of control car driving fast when you need one?

In Berlin, Germany, Syrian refugees take over the Christmas market to celebrate the 1st anniversary of the new Syrian Islamist government. If they’re so happy, why don’t they go back to Syria and finally start rebuilding their country? And why ‘celebrate’ at a Christmas market?!
