@The_Kid_Icarus @BladeoftheS “Ask yourself who is rich?” between someone earning £150k or a £1mill per year is a pretty daft question regardless of how the money is earned. However the comparison of how the money is earned/taxed v time is useful.

Look, I completely understand why someone earning £25k or £40k would hear a person on £150k say ‘we’re not rich’ and think, are you serious? And to be honest, it’s a fair emotional reaction. That’s a lot of money, especially outside London. But here’s the deeper issue: ‘rich’ isn’t just about how much you earn it’s about how much you own, and how your money behaves. Take two people: •One earns £150k a year as a senior professional in London. They’re taxed at 45% on a big chunk of their income. They work 50–60 hours a week, probably commute, pay high rent or a mortgage, childcare, student loans, and national insurance - don’t receive benefits and after taxes and basic life expenses, they’re doing fine - but they’re still relying on monthly income to survive. •The other earns £1 million a year from passive income - say, rental properties, investments, dividends. That income is often taxed at much lower rates - sometimes 10%, 18%, or 20% depending on the asset class. They don’t need to work. They can hire an accountant to minimise tax. Their capital keeps growing without lifting a finger. Now ask yourself: who is ‘rich’? It’s not about who works harder it’s about who’s freer. And the tax system often penalises earned income while favouring wealth accumulation. On top of that, the average person earning a high salary often works 50–60 hours a week. That’s evenings, weekends, missed school pickups, burnt-out Sundays. Meanwhile, asset-rich individuals may earn exponentially more - with no hours worked at all. So when people like Gary Stevenson talk about inequality, it’s not to say someone on £150k is poor. Of course not. It’s to point out that our system taxes labour far more than it taxes wealth. And that’s a structural imbalance that affects everyone- because it keeps pushing the middle and working classes to carry the load, while a minority builds untouchable wealth in the background. So this isn’t about who has it hardest. It’s about who has leverage. If you want to tax the rich more you need to understand the middle class is the gateway to working class success. They can’t afford to be taxed more because it becomes literally regressive. That is they go backwards. There business shrinks and let productivity leads to less work. It’s a domino. There is a big difference between someone who is left with 10-30k disposable income or savings at the end of a tax year and someone who has millions.

What the f*** are they spending all their money on? The rich will never have enough money, it will always be not enough.

@PeterSweden7 Only about 180 were assumed refugees, they weren’t officially asked if they were. And they were originally from places like Chile, former USSR, former Yugoslavia who have been in Sweden for 30/40 years contributing to society.

So nearly 80% of refugees in Sweden travel on vacation to the countries that they fled from. So they are not refugees then. Should they be told to go back?

Lisandro Martinez has avoided red cards for two fully intentional, very dangerous challenges this season. Meanwhile, #Arsenal have had two red cards for kicking the ball away and one for a tangle 40 yards from goal, yet we’re told that we lack discipline. Shambolic. #AFC

🚨🎙️| Teddy Sheringham: “Erik ten Hag probably has one of the toughest jobs in world football, because #mufc is a massive club and it needed turning around. He’s had massive decisions to make and he’s dealt with them impeccably! It’s not the finished article yet, but it’s definitely on the right tracks.”

Late 2000s at a Man Utd players + family event. Beckham’s sprogs fighting over Victoria’s Prada sunglasses; Nemanja’s good as gold. Fergie leans over and whispers into Queiroz’s ear: “it seems it takes a Vidic to raise a child”. They both collapse in hysterics.

TW rape, sexual assault, sexual violence, homophobia, misogyny. I thought there was nothing I could learn about the police that would shock me after Sarah Everard, Nicole Smallman & Bibaa Henry, Hillsborough, Stephen Lawrence and Stephen Port. I was wrong.

The Met apologises again. This time its really disturbing behaviour of officers at Charing Cross station where apparently messages about raping colleagues, killing black children + domestic violence were "jokes and banter". One cop known as the "mcrapey raperson". THREAD

@ejrainfordbrent So sorry you are abused like this is. Utterly shameful. The sheer hypocrisy is astounding, firstly calling you racist, then the illiteracy, the whole letter has a mix of upper/lower case. These cretins make me sick.
