They're coming over here for the benefits AND taking our jobs. Nothing ever changes.

Neither of which asylum seekers and refugees can have of course.

Naked racism

My god

You win as I don't have the energy to even attempt to reply without being equally as personally insulting as you are.
Yet another slanderous accusation based on your own world view rather than knowing the person.

Anyway I can only be grateful for the saving of our club by Nas and Wes and hope hey don't read this thread.

Cool, then they can double their price increases and deliver more. Assuming just under £1bn profit is poverty inducing for their shareholders, which would at least see some enforced empathy with their workers. But don't bleat and moan about a bit extra in NI and minimum wage. Should we preserve all their costs in aspic? They could get rid of executive bonuses or pay the board the National Living Wage. The shareholders would be cock-a-hoop.

Let's just agree that both left and right political systems are designed to have us all at each other's throats to keep us from realising that the real evil twats are at the top of the food chain, and therefore we can keep to our main interest of supporting the Villa, eh?

You realise that the people at the top of the food chain are the billionaires that we've been complaining about, right?

.

I do. However, they all have agendas (both left and right wing) that they then use their vast wealth to manipulate worldwide for their own means.

Anyway, us lot arguing and falling out is utterly pointless, and that really was my point. It's like cleaning a pig sty with a tea spoon.

It's definitely not slanderous.

Feel free to make your case for libellous, but it's not slanderous.

I am sorry but what a load of shit

I see the huge queues at job centres by the thousands of people arriving in the country illigally each month / year taking good honest British peoples jobs. They are not here to take peoples jobs

I do see that they drain working people resources by putting nowhere as much back into society than they take. Unlike a lot of philanthropic billionaires who actually do put something back into the local areas they operate in.

Yep, that’s it, it’s all the fault of the foreigners. Billionaires are good. Poor people from abroad are bad. Thick as mince.

Just because  you dont agree with someone doesn't mean they are thick and think its outrageous your allowed to get away with that.

I dont agree with a majority of his post but he is allowed  to have a opinion without being insulted

Ah, the poisoned chalice of having your support. I’m sure he’ll be thrilled. I’m surprised a “centralist” like you isn’t more outraged by clear xenophobic language.

Anyway, apologies if anyone else reading is bored of this.

My views on our owners are that I’m very grateful to them for saving us, but if they want to live elsewhere because they don’t want to pay tax, see ya.

Just apologise for calling someone thick. Its not hard is it? Without spitting more nonsense "about the poison chalice of support"

Your the poison with your bullying post calling others thick because they dare disagree with you and yes you are certainly boring me when you talk nonsense like your opening paragraph

Anyway thats all ill say about it as it seems so difficult  for you accept your wrong and apologise

All well and good but unless you have top talent running the business you don't make £1Bn profit . So your idea wouldn't work. I'm not a fan of fat cat CEO's but it's the reality of capitalism .

Absolutely not going to apologise unless I’ve broken the site rules and a moderator asks me to. I’m certainly not going to apologise on your say so, as I think you’re a knob.

Sorry for calling you a knob.

This government has fucked business growth in this country . Look forward to rising unemployment and cost of living going up yet again .

The growth in this country was fucked on 23rd June 2016 when people voted for Brexit. From that moment the cost of living was going to rocket because from that point onwards everything that we get from EU countries had to have import tax put on it. All those grants farmers had went because they came from the EU and many more grants for other sectors went as well.

Tories did nothing because had they done they'd have had to admit Brexit wasn't the utopia that they promised. The huge holes in our the countries finances that was caused by Brexit had to be filled. It's not a cost of living crisis it's just the cost of Brexit.

All you had to do is look to Switzerland to see what was going to happen because that country as the fans that went to Young Boys found out is bloody expensive.

[paul_e]

The Switzerland comment is wrong, whilst the costs there are high so are wages so it largely balances out. On almost any cost of living analysis they come out as one of the best places to live in Europe (along with the nordic countries). The UK is pretty low and well behind most of Western Europe because we've had all the same rising costs but wage inflation has pretty consistently lagged behind for years.

[Pat McMahon]

The filthy rich just take, they don't give. Let them fuck off.

The top 1% by income pay 29% of all income tax. Some rich folks are giving plenty and not getting much gratitude it seems.

The top 1% hold more wealth than 70% of Brits combined. They’re doing ok.

I’d also wager, with some certainty, that the majority of the super wealthy aren’t anywhere near the top of the wage earners/tax payers list, due to minimisation strategies.

I read something on this topic in the FT last year.

Basically net worth of £8m was the point at which people actively started to take aggressive tax avoidance strategies including emigration.

Correct . Pre covid I was work in Germany a lot and found it far more expensive there than here , I suspect we've caught them up now unless they've had loads of inflation too .
