    Who gives a fudge about a cold? If you've had the same COVID strain twice then you should see someone about your immune system.

    If course I'm not interested in inequality - it has no relevance to anything. Certainly not poverty. I'm interested in whether those at the bottom of the scale have enough. What everyone else has is only relevant for jealousy. So again please answer with a yes or no. If poverty is earning...

    The fine has to be more than the amount injected into the club - otherwise it's not a punishment or deterrent. They've spent around £1.5B on players since taking over, so I don't think it's excessive to assume they've injected somewhere around £2-3B. The fine would have to be more than that.

    You're still missing the point. It's not about the numbers. Let's make the median income £200k a year. Then 60% of the median income is £120k. Is an arbitrary percentage of the median income poverty then or not? What about someone who earns almost nothing but has enough land to grow the cows...

    Sorry, just done some digging and apparently the Spanish police weren't interested in taking the case as they were already in a relationship 😔

    Good on them. Goons or not, they're on the right side here.

    I remember asking this too but don't remember the answer. I have a feeling it's something to do with a very short statute of limitations in Spain.

    I guarantee he'll take the cowardly option for each and every one of those decisions.

    Unfortunately not as we have a spineless, back stabbing coward for a PM. Can't imagine any country would be to keen to help us if we ever end up in military trouble if that's how we treat allies.

    Can't see why anyone would be ashamed of that. She did more good for the country than just about anyone in history.

    You (and the author(s) of that article) are still missing the point. Look at the measure they use for calculating poverty - a proportion of the median income. Let me explain with an example. If the median income became £100k tomorrow and nothing happened to inflation, a £60k salary would be...

    The Goon Thread

    Constant abuse and disbelief, yes. Not surprising, that's the standard reaction to these cases - even more so when a sporting "hero" is the subject of them. The only law that changed was the UK's ability to prosecute crimes commited by residents in Spain. So because both were UK citizens, and...

    Quite. The only responsible action as an employer is suspension in full pay from the very start of the matter. There are women who have to turn up to the club every day for a living, they cannot be put in danger by keeping him around. Surely even the most die hard goons would be able to see...

    Here's a more relevant question. What proportion of those described as "in poverty" by Labour, charities, etc are actually struggling to the extent you describe? Now let's put that to one side for a minute and pretend this "relative poverty" measure actually matters or means anything (it...

    It's hardly a surprise. Even Reeves understood that and made the very same point in opposition.

    Whoever wrote that has entirely failed to grasp some relatively simple points. They have it wrong in the first paragraph "It is a relative concept". It's not, you either have enough to get by or you don't. Going by that author's definition, I'd be in poverty if I lived amongst people who owned...

    John Prescott gone. People seem to think we have to be polite about the dead (never understood that) so I'll just say that he was someone about whom opinions are very divided.
