Sir Jim Ratcliffe spent part of the £4bn tax bill he dodged to fund Manchester United.
That is how the UK works, you pay tax, the big people don't, and they get richer and richer, and RICHER.

#BigGardenBirdwatch done but a bit disappointing as down on numbers. The usual suspects but the big squabbling Goldfinch charm didn’t show & the Blackcaps who have been about recently decided to stay away.

He is damned either way, hand it over and Twitter will be banned.
Refuse and Twitter will be banned too.

Let’s see if Bluesky is the polar opposite of the hate fest that is X currently. Sincerely hoping so. There’s nothing wrong with robust debate, but X is just a sewer at the moment. Is it worth fighting to reverse the flow? The jury is out while ever Musk is holding the reins.
