Abu Dhabi-based Etihad threatening to sue the Premier League over charges relating to Abu Dhabi-owned Manchester City’s sponsorship deals is certainly one way of demonstrating that there was absolutely nothing unusual about Manchester City’s sponsorship deals at all.

The bald fraud speaks out. The man who coincidentally left 4 months before this came out after being at the club for 10 years. "I am here, more than ever" - Are you fuck. You jumped off the ship on your life raft before it started sinking. As culpable as the rest of them.

This is just further proof of the bent nature of the sponsorships. No regular sponsor would threaten to sue the Prem for the reputational damage of a report they arent even named in. They would just cut ties with the club www.theguardian.com/football/202...

For non-soccer fans: this scandal is basically a microcosm of what is going on everywhere re: the ultra-wealthy doing whatever they want because they can. Man City cheated like hell. But here is the prime minister implying they’re just too valuable to the UK to hold to account. It sucks

It only feels “radically progressive” because we’ve spent 40 years normalising radically regressive ideas. This was broadly how Britain worked from 1945–79, when average GDP growth was 2.6% a year — compared with 1.9% in the post-Thatcher years. It works www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This wee, the White House spent $443,000 of taxpayer money running pro-trump ads on Fox News and Newsmax ahead of the midterms.

The white house calls them public service announcements.

Trump is the further thing from a public servant.

"He loves"? He loves himself. And only himself.

Sustained economic growth can’t be achieved without a major boost to the purchasing power of the bottom 50% of the UK population. The govt can do so immediately by increasing income tax-free personal allowance by £3,000. All it needs to do is to end subsidies to commercial banks.
