I may post about beer, food, football, politics and scepticism. Unsavioury and Against all Gods equally. Not a real Notts fan, according to Dougie.

Every wednesday my husband cooks dinner for a group of pensioners, his dad and some of his parents pals. They are politically and financially mixed. All said they dont care about the triple lock but all want social care sorting.

Don't worry, it's not as if we've allowed City Group to own (or operate) 9 other football clubs worldwide. I'm sure they only cheated at City and all of those other 9 clubs are absolutely untainted and operated totally fairly.

Important to recognise that the £900m+ represents only the disguised expenditure and cash injections. Because it will have bought unearned success, which will have translated into higher winnings and sponsorship deals, the true amount of illicit spending could easily be hundreds of millions higher.
