    The bloody geordie at work, sounds more like a sp@rs fan. He hates Arsenal? When l slate tiny tots (sp@rs) he tells me that I don’t hear him go on about Sunderland? Recently a new guy started working for the company, he’s from Sunderland,the geordie is always refers to him. He calls him “Mackem,” not obsessed then.
    Just to add, this issue about football club ownership isn’t new.
    Chelsea fans didn’t care that a Russian billionaire Romam Abramovich owned the club. Manchester City fans don’t care either, they have Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan, a key figure in Abu Dhabi, it’s a Country which is nothing more than a thiefdom.

    @chelmsford

    It was a few weeks ago. Police have the IMIE number, they normally do an IMIE check, if phones (any make), gets handled in, or someone is arrested. The phone is now blacklisted, which means the iPhone actually stops sending our its location?

    Back to my original point being, I would have told these people outside the store, that I would have not known about this, were it not for my iPhone or my other Apple devices.
    We, members, will do our best to attend demonstration, picket lines, and rallies- for example, the annual Tolpuddle Martyrs’ Festival.
    Interesting that you say: ….Now the SPGB join in. Is there no party discipline?
    Not sure if it’s true or relevant here. Maybe you should take it up with the General Secretary who will pass it on to the Executive Committee?


    @Lizzie45

    My bad. Should have said Uyghurs, couldn’t be bothered to Google it. As with I stand corrected much as above, Foxconn, ‘some’, as yet that could mean anything, it doesn’t mean much at the moment.

    Long time, been a bit busy. Someone took my iPhone. Oh well.
    I was at Apples Regent street store, off topic, demonstrating outside, against Chinese government over muslin genocide? I was about to say Foxcom are moving production to India? They’d gone.

    bijou-drains

    Seen little if anything about who owns them, Pwel fans happy that the owner is spending, winning 🏆 even domestic cups that their fans ridicule (the worthless cup) others for winning. Of course no evidence or controversy that the owner is taking money out of the club as do the Glazers, who are accused of lining their own pockets.

    Pwel fans actually say they’re not English, they’re ‘scousers’??
    Having no allegiance to King or Country…

    OMG! The unions are going to strike on the FA cup weekend and inconvenience traveler’s getting to work but their action will also affect Eurovision. Eurovision! I mean it’s the last straw. Diabolical unions, what an absolute disgrace.
    I’m so filled with indignation, that I will be writing to the Times.

    I worked for them, Waitrose, John Lewis Partnership, as it was then. Just like every company, each year profits are used to invest in the business. As has been said before, profit share was generally 2 weeks pay. We all knew that 2% of the company is owned by a secret shareholder?
    I also worked for CO-OP retail (as it was). For it to claim the CO-OP was ‘socialist’ when the emphasis is on the bottomline. Never heard before: sales were up year on year, but profits were down?
    The coop food store near where I worked went on strike over pay, my then manager, quipped: “they’re all women just working for pin money“.
    Food for thought…pun intended

    Millions could be taxed at higher rate than Rishi Sunak

    Mike Clancy, the general secretary of the trade union Prospect, said: “Prospect members doing the right thing, paying their tax and working exceptionally hard to keep government functioning are having to strike because their pay has fallen so far behind inflation. It will be galling for them that the prime minister pays a significantly lower effective tax rate than they do.”

    OMG

    What is this government, Braverman on?
    She says the high court found Rwanda safe?
    It has to be said she sounds more like Churchill with his: wailing Jews in Nazi concentration death camps.
    I don’t wish my enemies harm…..I’m seriously beginning to think that the knife attack and murder of Tory MP* karma….what goes around comes around. As with Trotsky you play with fire

    The French anti pension rise riots from 62 to 64, may have spooked the UK government. The proposed Tory plan to raise the UK pension age to 68, at which time to be eligible to receive the state pension is to be delayed until after the general election..
