  1. So she's gone to an away game as a guest of NUFC related folk and sat with them, then disappeared down the tunnel with a Benitez associate because she wants to buy LFC? Unlikely. It was reported that she was looking at more than one club though so perhaps she's having a last throw of the dice with them before moving on. A billion quid valuation will kill off that anyway though. Likely just the mirror stirring the pot.

  3. Well maybe the answer you are looking for is actually in EU sovereign states themselves (we have complete fiscal sovereignty so I don't know why you are implying the EU can stop us implementing any policy we choose). What is wrong with a Scandinavian type democracy? They punch above their Wright economically and studies repeatedly show they are happier than UK citizens, despite worse weather, less winter sun, and eye watering beer prices. Oh yeah, they have high taxes and big government, an anathema to people like yourself who crave a US system of personal liberty and fuck the consequences for society. That's the issue in reality, Thatcher destroyed social conscience and we are left to live with the consequences.

  4. Lol the 70s where people could buy a house for £10,000 and leave University without £70,000 worth of debt. For a lot of people these days work doesn't pay and a lot of people who didn't have a head start are struggling and itll be an endless struggle. Did 1,000,000 use foodbanks in the 70s? Did people have their meagre pay smashed by pay day loan sharks? Curious like....

  6. Maybe a good way of measuring this sort of thing (for those of us brought up in the 70s/80s) is to have a think as to whether our mothers a. went back to work after children? and if they did b. was the income vital to the weekly family budget? My mum did a few cleaning jobs after we were all at high school and we went on ski-ing trips and the French exchange thing, all of which the old man paid for. We were far from deprived just on his income, he was a jobbing chippy/general builder in rural southeast Scotland where wages for anyone have never been high. Speaking very generally and looking at my friends and their families who are almost all similar blue collar folk and at a similar stage of their lives, they have to jump through massive finacial hoops to be able just to pay the bills, in some cases the wives work two/three jobs and I know one couple who used to qualify for tax credits with both of them working. This, as I've mentioned before, on England's south coast in one of the country's wealthiest boroughs.
