As I said, his whole career. Hes an elitist toff who only serves to protect his wealthy pals.

Yet 14million people voted for him and his party. I didn’t realise the U.K. had so many elitist and wealthy toffs...but if he has harmed you.....

Not much choice was there.

But the government was trying to save jobs. Now the RS are having to pay all their employees 100% wages and keep them employe. Can you really believe they would have done that without the 80% offer. It’s best not to think of the company in this situation, but to think of the employees.....

I didn't quite fathom the argument being made by the PFA during the whole affair to be honest. My understanding was that very wealthy footballers weren't being asked to forgo their huge salaries so that the NHS could get money, but so the clubs themselves could survive. As we've seen with Everton, few football clubs actually make money, and with no competition, not only are gate receipts gone, but I strongly suspect that broadcasting revenue will be reduced significantly. They're forgoing a chunk of their salaries so that their employer can survive. If they wanted to donate some of the rest of the £50k a week or something they'd still be raking in, then I'm sure Alder Hey would be willing recipients.

Pretty much, yes.

Sounds like a recipe for functional governance and a win-win for truth.

FFS thought he had the virus for a minute then. He hasn't

Poetic justice. He only thought it would cull the very same people Tory austerity targets didn't he.

The PFA are led by a self serving cretin. Footballers no longer inhabit the same world as everyone else and its seems the more they have the more they want. I saw an argument put forward by Wayne Rooney about some young teenage footballer at Derby, saying that he lives with his mum in a council house and that a 30% reduction in his wages would be a huge reduction in the £2000 per week he was earning. Now indeed it is a big reduction, but that still leaves £1,400 per week (£70k per year) for a teenager playing football. I would bet not many of the council houses in the whole of Derby have that amount of money coming in per week.....
