What tax system wouldn’t disproportionately effect London and the South East?

Next you will be claiming that income Tax is unfair as somebody earning £50k pays more than somebody earning £25k.

If Paraguay were to go 2 up, I don't see Germany winning.

Paraguay look very fit and fast, able to close down. Germany too slow and turned into a possession team not direct and quick enough. Germany defenders are shocking. The old days all players could attack and defend by covering players. Germany been lucky so far and I dont think they have 9 lives this word cup !!

Im certain I understand more about the policies he supports and will likely bring in and the demographic of people it will impact. I recommend reading more on it before accusing people that are better informed than you. I’ll give you the simple conclusion from chat gpt. He talked about land tax and inheritance tax changes in the early 2010 and also earlier this year when he was campaigning. Read a bit more then pop back again If Burnham were in a position to shape national tax policy, the broad direction appears to be: less reliance on taxing earned income; more reliance on taxing accumulated wealth, land and property; reforming rather than simply increasing inheritance taxation. The people most exposed would generally be: owners of high-value homes, landlords, those with large estates, people with substantial capital assets. Since high-value property is disproportionately located in southern England, the financial impact would likely fall more heavily on the South overall, though there would be exceptions and the exact distribution would depend on the final design of any reforms.

Is that the actual case? I know little about german football, except that it's about a two horse race most seasons.

Surely we've got to give Fellows another season.

You will be surprised to hear he hasn’t said “southerners will be taxed more than northerners”. Politically that would be very stupid. However if you intend to apply what could be a 0.5% annual levy on property it will disproportionately impact the south (unless you want to argue that property values in the south are lower). Inheritance tax will also be revised which again will catch those with higher property prices (in the south).

This could have shades of the Japan game. The underdog scores first and the bigger club somehow scrape a win. But it would he funny if Germany went out.

Its like all the decent players are injured and this is what's available bit part team.

These games are now moving so fast I didn't even realise Almiron has already served his one game ban. The start of the tournament felt so slow, now the games are almost coming round too quick.

Germany defence found out again. Maybe they dont want to play France.

You can see why their followers might think that. No fluency and now they're a goal down.

que?

Very boring. Extra time or pens anyone?

I think he’s worth persevering with. He seems like a confidence player and I would back Tonda to get more from him. I liked him at WBA and his slaloming runs early in the season showed a glimpse of the type of player he could be. Just isn’t a bad shout though if we want another option - perhaps if Edozie moves on?

Leftie! Behave. There's a vast area between the left and the right side of political spectrum. Don't fall into the simpleton belief that politics is just left and right. You are talking bollox in suggesting that Burnham has said that southerners will be taxed more than northerners. If I'm wrong, doubtless you can link me to something Burnham has actually said, not an opinion piece.

My cousin in Germany say fans there not impressed with Germany, tactics, team selection, manager, rumours Klopp was taking over. I have asked do German managers in leaques really spy on all teams.

The world caught them up on skill some time ago. But they will always have strong squads, and I thought there was just a touch of the old swagger in the second half. But they really are just in the mix with the other top sides these days.

Two locked behind pay walls. The LBC one only talks about budgets. Have you got a source for your claim that Southerners will be taxed more than Northerners, or is that just made up bollocks?

I still have hope for Fellows, but that was worse than mediocre from him last season. I was expecting big things. Barely got sporadically okay performances.

This is a ridiculous argument. If you take London out of it, there are some incredibly poor areas in the “south” & some affluent areas in the North. Laughable that Burnham is trying to position himself as an outsider set to march on Westminster & its London centric agenda. He’s a Westminster machine politician to his core, he only fucked off back “opp north” after Corbyn smashed him in he’s second failed attempt to become leader. It’s as big a blag as Boris’ “levelling up”, & will be about as successful. Like it or not, London is the key to economic growth, however hard you try any rebalancing or redistribution, if you take money and investment from London or load extra taxes on them , it affects everyone adversely.

The magic definitely gone from Brazil. Used to really look forward to seeing them with players like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Kaka now aside from one or two it’s a load of average premier league players

Was gutted for them at the end. Thought they did really well, but just got tired facing so much quality. Brazil are a bit strange. They have outstanding attack and flair, as you’d expect, but their midfield isn’t what it used to be. Cant see them winning the whole thing.. but you can never really write them off

Hardly a Dibble really.
