Big fan of boring politics
I felt like Megan Fox was gonna come round mine after the game and we'd make sweet passionate love all night.

Didn't happen though.

What's amazing is that they've looked at the US and thought, "yes, we'll ignore progressives - they'll have to vote for us to keep out the greater evil". And that's notwithstanding that here we actually have viable alternatives! Not only is disgustingly cynical, it's political suicide.

Unfortunately that strategy will fail…. Unless we also stop people coming to work here if they have brown skin. Then we have a sure fire winner.

Yes you can.

I don't believe I indicated it was. Nor are government bonds an equivalent to a cash ISA.

Government bonds can fluctuate a LOT.

I guess this is Rishi's chess sets, but, y'know, for kids. Did anyone ever see a chess set in the wild?

Sunderland got relatively lucky as they had more overhead than us, so got to spend more and they did it better - but their gamble could have gone wrong and they'd be down here with the us and Burnley.

PL is a stitch up. The fact that they make us follow Championship PSR so we have less to spend than the existing sides proves it. I believe the 49ers spent all they could. Yes, they did it badly, but the reality is we had to do it on the cheap.

I just can't fathom their thinking - do they really think people will just say, "well, they got us there, they technically didn't break their manifesto promise, good for them!" The reality is they will get hammered for breaking the spirit AND for trying to trick the general public.

If you believe the rumours, they are likely to introduce an exit tax, which will help to mitigate the threat of the super rich to leave the country every time there's a risk they might have to pay more. That would be a positive and much-needed first step.

The funny thing about the Laffer curve is that the only way to find out where you are on it is to increase taxes systematically until the take actually goes down. Those who believe in it are always so sure that we're on the right hand side - but where's the evidence!

The fact that many Americans think that it’s been the greatest nation on earth for 250 years is absolutely part of the problem.

I can't see who they could replace him with that would make a positive difference, all the big hitters are irreversibly aligned with Starmer. Assuming that Burnham is a pipe dream that will never happen.

That was 25 years ago. I don’t believe he’d even be prosecuted in the current climate.

He certainly is doing his best to emulate the Democrat efforts to alienate their core vote.
September 1, 2025 at 2:55 PM
The difference is incalculable.

I agree on the latter, but not the former - big inheritances largely don't pay IHT... see duke of Westminster. I guess there would still need to be a minimum threshold before it kicked in.

I stand to be shot down in flames, but I'd abolish inheritance tax and replace it with an asset transfer tax that applied on all transfers of ~10%, including to trusts and distributions on death. Telegraph readers are happy and it would probably be a net gain for the treasury as no IHT loopholes.

Given that there are zero other clubs interested at this price, I think it's fair to say that the price we offered was reasonable. If any others thought £15m was a bargain, they'd be in to snap him up. Time to walk away.

Please, please, don't be tempted to click on the link and read what he has to say - his purpose is to be a controversial bellend for money, so the best course of action is to ignore the sanctimonious prick.

God I hope that Sunderland manage to edge us out to sign Hamer.
July 3, 2025 at 2:47 PM
I think both right and left want to stick it to the establishment, they just have very different methods to achieve their objectives.

Admittedly, I'm out of the loop on posh people's child names, but Harry and.... Barry?!
