I’ve been posting numbers like this for a year and every time I get attacked in the comments for being delusional Nice to see the FT agree with me after a year A “middle class” lifestyle in London is now between £300k - £500k a year
I read a piece in the FT this week about the price of being middle class in Britain now and it said a couple earning £436,000 combined take home £216,000. That’s a crazy amount of tax, and it doesn't include VAT on purchases, council tax, stamp duty or other taxes (I think does include pension contributions). I can’t stop thinking about it.

Messi really fought against the entire system and still came out on top. Imagine the media narrative if Messi had won 4 UCLs with goals from illegal offsides. They would have crucified him for the rest of his career. 💀 Meanwhile, this cheat is still being protected.😮‍💨

I earn £100 grand a year. I have a detached house. 2 cars and my wife is a full time home maker. I can just about afford this. I probably couldn’t afford the house I own if I was buying for the first time today. My salary puts me in the top 5% of earners in the UK. Top 5% to have a similar standard of living to Homer Simpson. That is a disgrace. We have a flatter salary distribution than Soviet Russia and the highest taxes and borrowing costs we’ve seen in generations. Success is almost impossible because our tax system means hard work makes you a stressed out tax cow, not wealthy and certainly not free. We need something radical. Less state. More family. Less handouts. More reward for risk. Instead. Tomorrow, Labour will offer another batch of policies which will send one message to aspirational Brits: why bother.

Ronaldo fans will manipulate this statement to make it seem like Kane was referring to Cristiano
🗣️ "Ronaldo was one of my idols growing up." Harry Kane on it being extra special to be presented the Ballon d'Or by one of his childhood idols.

Er … are British taxpayers funding PIP and other benefits? I think we should know. This is Mohmed Ahmad Abdulkarim, 24, who appeared in court in a wheelchair, accused of assisting a foreign intelligence service believed to be Iranian. Prosecutors allege he received nearly £70,000 from a suspected foreign handler to organise vehicles and equipment for the RAF Fairford plot. So I think it’s reasonable to ask … does he work? Is he receiving PIP, Universal Credit or housing support? Is he being supported by the British taxpayer? Just a thought.

Olivia was a beautiful Christian girl During her education, she came into contact with Ayesha Olivia and Ayesha became best friends. Ayesha was very kind. She not only cared for Olivia but also often showed concern about human rights violations She expressed her concerns about human rights violations in Gaza to Olivia Olivia was very sad about the atrocities committed by Israel in Gaza She started participating in protests against Israel, often with her best friend Ayesha During a protest, Olivia met Mohammad, a Palestinian-origin asylum seeker Mohammad's personality was attractive & he was secular and liberal Olivia slowly fell in love with him. She became very accustomed to losing herself in Mohammad's sweet talk They proposed to each other & started spending more time together outside the protests Mohammad promised her that he would marry her & that they would both live a liberal & free life Their love was becoming more profound. They started meeting alone in hotels. Both were happy One day, Olivia informed Mohammad that she was pregnant & was about to become the mother of his child Mohammad was taken aback & remained silent for a while Olivia said, "Are you not happy? Should we not get married now?" "Of course, we will marry. I love you. I will inform my family about our relationship" The next day, Mohammad met Olivia. He was stressed & sad "What happened?" Olivia asked. "Why are you unhappy?" Mohammad replied, "Oh, my love, I love you. I can't live without you, but my family is a traditional Muslim family. They are not ready to accept you unless you convert to Islam. Can you convert for our love? There will be no change in our lifestyle after marriage." He started almost crying Olivia became emotional when she saw Mohammad crying. She said, "I am not a frog in a well who cannot break the rules of life. I am a free and liberal girl, and all religions are the same to me. I can symbolically convert to Islam for my love. There is no issue. I love you. Don't worry." They got married and went on their honeymoon. They had a wonderful time. When they returned from their honeymoon, Mohammad kissed her on the forehead and said, "Oh, my love, can you do me a favour, just for a few months, so that I can live with my family until I find a good source of income for our livelihood?" She said, "Of course." Mohammad asked her to follow Islamic rituals, wear a burqa, offer namaz for a few months, and live with his family. She agreed. After a few months, she became pregnant and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. She was happy, and now her time was spent taking care of her child. She continued following Islamic rituals. Over the next seven years, Olivia became the mother of seven children. Her life had changed. Now, she did not even have time to talk about liberalism or secularism. The burqa and hijab had become part of her life. She often remembered her old life and used to cry in loneliness, but she had no other way out, as she was the mother of seven children. One day, an earthquake shook her life when her beloved husband, Mohammad, brought another girl home. She was the daughter of his paternal uncle, and he was preparing to marry her and make her his second wife. Olivia opposed his decision. Mohammad shouted, "This is allowed in our religion. You have become the mother of seven children and are unable to fulfil my physical needs. You'd better keep quiet and take care of the children. Don't come between me and my religious beliefs." There was no answer. Olivia often used to remember her life before she met Ayesha, when she was not liberal or secular and could freely wear what she wanted and go anywhere she pleased, whether to pubs, markets, or on trips. This is the story of thousands of Olivias who are trapped by the nexus of radical Islamists and leftists. This will be the story of thousands of Olivias who will be trapped by the nexus of radical Islamists and leftists. (Video for representation only)

I remember when Ronaldo did SUIiii for winning the ballon d’or over Messi.. Messi took it personal and Ronaldo never saw the podium ever again in his life. Want to FUCK with MESSI. 😂

🚨 SCANDAL ALERT🚨 Fans of Saudi club Al Ahli are furious and now accusing the Saudi League for being biased after they reclassified Ivan Toney’s first goal against Al Khaleej as an own goal. An own goal similar to the one that Cristiano Ronaldo scored vs Al Faisaly but the league were trying to award it as a Ronaldo goal. Note that the referee’s report also credited the goal to Toney but the SPL didn't. They can't hide it anymore!! SHAME

على طاري لاعبين البرتغال لما ترشّحوا للكرة الذهبية انْسأل رونالدو عن زملائه المرشحين،وبدل مايدعمهم بتصريح يلفت الأنظار لهم، سحب عليهم بكل وقاحة وراح يقول إن الجائزة مزيفة! 🤦🏻‍♂️مستوعبين لوين وصلت فيه الوقاحة؟ حتى زملاء بلده ما سلموا من حقارته!
لا يوجد أي لاعب برتغالي ضمن اللاعبين المرشحين العشرة في الكرة الذهبية

• Quedó muy dañado. • Será recordado como el jugador MÁS HIPÓCRITA, MÁS LLORÓN, MÁS SINVERGÜENZA y MÁS FRUSTRADO de la historia. • Todo los títulos que no ganó los demeritó y en todos los premios que le superaron los minimizó. • Más ardido no pudo quedar. Shame.

🔴 URGENTE | Cientos de proetarras y magrebíes están incendiando Bilbao, saqueando tiendas y agrediendo policías por un acto que ni se ha celebrado. La izquierda es violenta por naturaleza, y las milicias de Sánchez solo nos están mandando vía Soros un aviso de lo que será España si no siguen en el poder.

A conservative journalist was supposed to speak at a university in Bilbao, Spain tonight. So naturally, hundreds of masked far-left extremists had to start a riot to silence freedom of speech. The West is in trouble

The radical left is burning down Bilbao because a right-wing Spanish influencer, Vito Quiles, was supposed to do a meetup there. He cancelled the event for security reasons, yet they decided to vandalise the city regardless. They will take any excuse to create chaos.
Rioters in Bilbao, Spain have decided to burn down their city to “protest fascism”.
