2023 Summer transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

[Sexual Ealing]

I'm not necessarily representative of the populace, but I want teachers' pay to go up. And my taxes, if need be.

If your tax goes up, then everybody's tax goes up, and people earn less, including teachers.

Ha! Fucking hell mate, that's a stretch.

It's really not. People are striking to be paid more. If your tax goes up, you take home less pay, it's not rocket science. "I'd happily pay more tax for this...." is something your hear a lot, and then you see the reality when things like the National Insurance increase come in, turns out people weren't as happy as they once pretended they were.

I'm not pretending. I've never been angered by tax rises, and I won't be. Despite not having kids, I recognise that society extends beyond me and my family. I guess that's why I'm not a Tory.

Manage what?

I wasn't talking about you mate.

[Sexual Ealing]

You quoted me?!

[Risso]

You quoted me?!

That's generally how conversations work on here.

Stays away from politics thread, so it comes to find me. 😫

[Sexual Ealing]

I know. So how weren't you talking about me?

[Risso]

I know. So how weren't you talking about me?

I mentioned the National Insurance rise and people in general, not you. I have no idea how you reacted to that.

Fair enough. I must have missed something.

Manage what?

To pay frontline medical staff wages commensurate with their job and in line with inflation without ruining it all in tax rises.

'The UK invests just £3,257 per capita, 18th in the OECD despite being the fifth largest economy in the world. While hospital nurses, general practitioners and emergency physicians in the UK do earn more than the national average, this does not account for their overtime hours.'

Wheres the transfer thread?

Ferran , Johnson and Diaby would be a great attacking triumvirate.

Thank God for you FV.

I'm not as enthused by Johnson as some others on here, entirely for the prejudicial and unfair reason that I still regard English players I hadn't heard of until recently as suspicious and probably overpriced.

There seems to be a Premier league tax!
Yes if 50m is the price asked by Forest I think Mochi and Emery will look elsewhere. I know Chelsea want 50m for Gallagher.

[ADVILLAFAN]

I hope we sign someone soon, so I don't have trawl through all the leftist word salad much longer and we can get back to discussing football.

“Leftist”? Wanting nurses and teachers to be paid more? I thought it would be a universal concern.

I think the artificial and spurious conflation with what footballers earn is the problem.

Thanks Risso, that is exactly what I mean.

I wasn't going to bite but teachers? I doubt many people are keen on giving in to their pay demands, certainly not if means their tax going up.

I'm not necessarily representative of the populace, but I want teachers' pay to go up. And my taxes, if need be.

Quite right. I'm happy for your taxes to go up too, for the greater good.

Indeed, which is genuine robbery!
