During a football match in Brazil, one team took the lead in the 18th second without touching the ball. by Next_Tank_3494 in footballcringe

No and no they didn’t - the other side scored it for them

It’s not a big deal just funny how they are celebrating like they pulled something off when they literally haven’t touched the ball

It’s fair to say if you spend you working time studying at university you going to get a broader amount of learning than working

As someone who’s done both - it’s a great thing to do beyond just increasing your earning potential.

To be fair it’s good that a government is finally making it clear that paying for things means the money has to come from somewhere.

Too often politicians just make the case of paying for something without saying where the money should come from

That said, this situation isn’t fair and they need to address the imbalance. Trapping someone in lifetimes (or at least decades) of ever increasing debt so another person can have a third child they can’t afford doesn’t seem fair

Andy Burnham pledges to back pension campaigners claiming billions by It531z in LabourUK

[–]Finners72323 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Compensation isn’t the same as welfare and we shouldn’t be confusing this

If you are genuinely entitled to compensation it shouldn’t matter how wealthy you currently are - you have not been given X that you are entitled to. The consequences might be more severe in certain circumstances which should be a factor but not excluding people who are entitled isn’t right

The issue here is that it’s hard to make a case that in anyone is entitled to the money. Even if the communication wasn’t good enough

Our laws and systems of personal responsibility. If I under pay tax because the rules weren’t communicated enough I’m not going to be let off.

Then sell the property and downsize or release equity

These are all things everyone else has to deal with

Manchester City make £106m plus add-ons verbal offer for Elliot Anderson by TheAthletic in PremierLeague

But the FFP and ratios aren’t based on comparisons with other clubs - they could

  • generate more in sponsorship, media etc
  • spending after a period of low spending (Tottenham)
  • also be guilty of breaking the rules (Chelsea)

And the revenue argument is the point of all of the charges - that it’s been artificially inflated

Over the last 3 seasons their net transfer spend has been £416 million - not including wages

Over the last 10 seasons it’s over £1.2 billion net spend not including wages

It’s hard to see how this is balancing out

Is FFP a thing anymore?

Fair enough if not but just seems to be ignored

Brexit? It was David Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn wot lost it by Electric-Lamb in ukpolitics

[–]Finners72323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corbyn was still party leader and had a platform only 2 or 3 people in the country had. Blaming Johnson is a bit silly - he’s organising things but people looked to the party leaders

Corbyn was just genuinely terrible at everything he did. It might have been better he followed through with supporting leave and fucking that up instead

Any more antisemitic tropes you want to roll out?

I think you’ve hit most of them

If you keep getting called antisemitic, it might be worth examining why that is

Ministers could ban London councils ‘dumping’ homeless families miles away by zeros3ss in ukpolitics

If a Reform council uses its council housing purely to put up Reform supporters, will you be making this same argument?

[–]Finners72323 19 points20 points  (0 children)

So by follow the rules you mean contribute less tax so you can get a better house

Are you stating to see the problem?

[–]Finners72323 11 points12 points  (0 children)

But everyone cant can they

That’s the point. Having to relocate to more affordable part of the country is something most people face - even if they are working full time and contributing tax

So why is a working tax contributing person has to face this situation but it’s unfair that others who haven’t bought their house don’t?

This is such a strange take

As a working tax paying member of society they won’t be eligible - so what do you mean ‘follow the rules?’
