@NASCARNAC @JoaJuan2 @MrPitbull07 You just assumed about the original guy, moron.

@JoaJuan2 @MrPitbull07 It has. Stop fucking assuming

@gillygilbank @GBPolitcs You can't even spell 'liar' Paul.

@GBPolitcs If you can’t find a job within 3 mths you’re a lier!! Stop benefits after 3 mths soon get the numbers down!!! It was only ever supposed to be a stop gap not a career choice?

@0xmarchesss @Mr_Husky1 You pay for X and post about crypto. I wouldn't be judging anyone else's life.

@Mr_Husky1 While people struggle to pay rent, Harry Potter star Rupert Grint spent his fortune on an old ice cream truck just to play pretend. 🤡 Instead of donating to real charities, he drove around villages like a weirdo handing out free popsicles for clout

Rupert Grint, the English actor who played Ron in the Harry Potter films, was too young to spend his money when he started getting rich. He had to wait until he was of legal age to commit his first folly. His first adult purchase, with the enormous fortune he had accumulated, was... an ice cream truck. An ice cream truck. This is the truck he bought. A 1974 Bedford van, designed by Mr. Whippy. And surprisingly, the young actor didn't want an ice cream truck to be displayed in his front yard. He wanted to use it to sell ice cream! Or rather, offer them to children for free. Which he did for a while, driving his truck through the small villages in his region, handing out popsicles along the way. It was a childhood dream.

@admyst2 @toptierlogic @RCGT4_ @AnthonyMonroe84 If there is an authoritarian felon running for office and someone abstains, they're as culpable for Trump as the people who voted for him. The difference was, they didn't even bother to have their voice heard. So no, it's not a vote, it's a rejection of their right to vote.

@Lewig193 @toptierlogic @RCGT4_ @AnthonyMonroe84 is it not a huge decider for an election though? id say it holds as much power as voting for any other candidate

Fkn little tramps about time we see someone sticking up against feral little cunts

@admyst2 @toptierlogic @RCGT4_ @AnthonyMonroe84 Abstaining, by any metric, isn't a vote. Abstaining by definition is choosing not to choose. You provide no say in the outcome, you give no candidate your vote.

@Lewig193 @toptierlogic @RCGT4_ @AnthonyMonroe84 abstaining is still a vote technically

@admyst2 @toptierlogic @RCGT4_ @AnthonyMonroe84 No, out of 173 million registered voters. The elecorate in Clacton was 78,245. They're also very fiscally conservative, socially conservative and nationalist. The incumbent Conservative MP didn't restand. When Farage replicates it nationwide, like Trump, you'd have a point.

@Lewig193 @toptierlogic @RCGT4_ @AnthonyMonroe84 77.3 out of 350 million people, many of which abstained from voting. and i searched up clactons population which is 53k, and out of 21,000 who voted which is close to 50%. its not as silly as you may think. and i said comparably to the rest of europe, britain would be close.

@admyst2 @toptierlogic @RCGT4_ @AnthonyMonroe84 21,000 people in the Clacton constituency voted for Farage. 77.3 million voted for Trump. Let's not make silly comparisons now. I don't doubt that there are people in the USA that dislike him. You're trying to equate us, we're not alike politically.

@Lewig193 @toptierlogic @RCGT4_ @AnthonyMonroe84 im saying coz theres people in your country who support him, if you dont like that generalization, think about how half the country doesnt like trump either, me included. if you went to the average city in america you dont see the level of support for trump

@AnnieEaves @beetle_1946 @JamesPearceLFC The commercial streams are consistently rising, periods out of Europe has minimal impact. You just accepted that sustainability doesn't require profits every year. If you're going to flip-flop on your arguments like this I'm not bothering arguing, you're clueless. Bye now.

@Lewig193 @beetle_1946 @JamesPearceLFC But that “extremely sustainable” revenue stream has resulted in ~£40m loss over four years. Miss out on Champions League and you could maybe double that loss. How is that sustainable? If fans owned the club it wouldn’t be sustainable, so where is the greed?

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk on the protests over ticket price increases: "I think the fans are the heart and soul of the club. If they feel like this then protest is their fair right. Hopefully they come to a solution with the club. "These things are far above my position as captain of the club. But my opinion is that our fans are the club. They always have been - before my time and will be after my time. It's important that these things get solved because it benefits no-one."

@AnnieEaves @beetle_1946 @JamesPearceLFC Across the last 10 years the club has actually made an overall profit. Smart running of the commercial, merchandising and building a team competing in Europe has sustained the club very well, so there is no reasonable requirement to charge match-going fans more. That's greed.

@Lewig193 @beetle_1946 @JamesPearceLFC I’m not justifying anything. I’m explaining why ever increasing wages lead to ever increasing fan costs. I agree that clubs can make a reasonable loss every year if there’s outside investment, but therefore where does the greed come in?

@AnnieEaves @beetle_1946 @JamesPearceLFC I'm the one attacking Liverpool, you're the one trying to justify the actions of the club. I don't know how many times it needs to be said. Football clubs don't need to be profitable consistently to be sustainable. Can you acknowledge that fact before I continue?

@Lewig193 @beetle_1946 @JamesPearceLFC Greed for what? Off the top of my head, Liverpool over the past four years have made a £40m loss. How is that sustainable without outside investment and increased fan costs? You appear to see my view as attacking Liverpool and are therefore defensive beyond reason.

@AnnieEaves @beetle_1946 @JamesPearceLFC The commercial revenue has risen by 5% year on year. That's what drives sustainability, not wages, not tickets. Commercial.

@Lewig193 @beetle_1946 @JamesPearceLFC I described it as ‘unsustainable without outside finance and ever increasing fan costs’. Again, Liverpool isn’t turning a profit every year - far from it. And, as you say and I agree, it’s one of the better run clubs. So, of course, fans ultimately pay more.

@AnnieEaves @beetle_1946 @JamesPearceLFC I don't think you have a clue what you're talking about. Explain what you mean by "owners taking huge sums". I've just told you the wage to turnover rate that you described as 'unsustainable', when it's very much sustainable.

@Lewig193 @beetle_1946 @JamesPearceLFC If Liverpool were making a profit every year and owners taking huge sums then you’d have a point, but that’s not the case. And it’s similar throughout the PL and elsewhere.

@AnnieEaves @beetle_1946 @JamesPearceLFC Liverpool's wage to turnover is 61%. What on Earth are you on about 'unsustainable'? Football clubs, especially those with large, predictable revenue streams, don't have to balance the books every year. The club aren't struggling, they're very well run.

@Lewig193 @beetle_1946 @JamesPearceLFC Liverpool have made a loss in two of their past four financial years and will likely make a loss next year too. Those losses outweigh the profits. Player salaries are generally - across PL - unsustainable without outside finance and ever increasing fan costs.

@beetle_1946 @JamesPearceLFC Players are paid what they negotiate, the club agree to those figures while making millions in profit still. There is no logical reason for those costs to be passed down to the fans. It's solely the club making the decision. Nothing to do with the players or their wages.

@Lewig193 @JamesPearceLFC Agreed that it does appear to be greed if what you say is true. But greed applies to the players as well. Both result in the man in the street having to pay more.

@beetle_1946 @JamesPearceLFC Do you actually think the players' wages are reliant upon ticket prices? The club made a £15.2m pre-tax profit last year. TV and commercial deals are worth significantly more; this decision is greed from the highest levels.

@JamesPearceLFC Maybe VVD should tell the fans, "who are the club", that he's prepared to take a £10k wage cut to assist in helping with this wage increase? Couple of other players as well?

@admyst2 @toptierlogic @RCGT4_ @AnthonyMonroe84 What does him being a member of parliament have to do with anything you've previously said? He's one of 8 Reform MPs in the House of Commons, 4 of which are defected Conservative MPs. I voted Labour, I don't 'support' any party, I vote for who is least likely to fuck it up.

@Lewig193 @toptierlogic @RCGT4_ @AnthonyMonroe84 think he still is a member of parliament; also if i may ask, what party do you support?

@admyst2 @toptierlogic @RCGT4_ @AnthonyMonroe84 What about him?

@Lewig193 @toptierlogic @RCGT4_ @AnthonyMonroe84 and what about farage?

@refsupportuk @kieshithimself An adult using followers as an indicator of sadness... That's actually sad.

@kieshithimself Say a bloke with 8 followers 🫡😆😆😆😆

Absolutely nothing wrong with this. Fair play to the Ref. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🫡
