    Joe Lewis avoids jail for insider trading

    That’s true. £500k is nothing when you’re a billionaire. And yet in the UK we constantly see plebs, with significantly less net worth than Lewis, go to prison for fraudulently claiming benefits amounting to under £50k. Doesn’t seem fair to me 🤷🏻‍♂️ Edit: you can even go to prison for...

    Joe Lewis avoids jail for insider trading

    “he didn't gain personally from it” I’ve seen a few people say this now, and I’m not sure it’s true. He gave the tips in lieu of payment or as gifts, and so he saved himself money thus personally gaining financially. In addition those “gifts” mean he will also likely have gained favourability...

    Joe Lewis avoids jail for insider trading

    Well… in a way he did benefit financially because he used the “tips” in lieu of payment for services. So he saved himself up to half a million quid. But FWIW I agree with not sending him to prison. And I now await the same fate for everyday plebeians who desperately fiddle the social safety...

    New club crest coming!

    It doesn’t have to be a physical landmark that is represented. But if it had to be, don’t you dare forget the A66 flyover!

    New club crest coming!

    I actually hope it’s not just a lion this time. Which I guess has already exposed in a tiny way what the club is up against during this redesign! I know! I know. It’s always been a lion. But hear me out. I’m not saying a lion shouldn’t be present somewhere. But this is an opportunity to design...

    Andy Preston brain fart

    Surely more modern day serfdom than slavery?

    Amad Diallo

    Wasn’t it Forlan playing for Man Utd against Southampton that caused uproar? I think he scored, took his shirt off then couldn’t get it back on again. Either delayed the restart or ended up playing without his shirt? Edit: I think he might have done it twice, once where he played shirtless and...

    Let's get those Southampton tickets on sake

    Looking forward to this game, should be anything but bourbon

    De Niro on trump -

    I know it’s been going on a while, but when did it become the norm in politics to enjoy and even revel in aggravating other people? I find it so strange that rather than making a counter argument of “well he is a good person because x, y and z”, people instead make antagonistic and silly...

    Aj v Ngannou

    Yes AJ get in! So happy to be wrong! 😁

    Aj v Ngannou

    Naive perhaps but I can’t see Ngannou being knocked out since he appears to be made of granite. Think AJ might follow the tactics he employed in the Ruiz rematch and take a very comfortable points win.

    Jacob Young community noted on X 🤣

    I think he has a great point, and personally I see no reason to not take it even further. For example, back in 1974 under LABOUR someone earning £15000 would have paid almost £5000 in tax. Can someone do the calculation for 1824 so we can feel even better please?

    Red n White Shorts: Plymouth 0 Boro 2. McManus / Franks. 2010.

    Three years? Frighteningly I think that was the year directly after relegation wasn’t it?

    Michael Beale

    Edit: for those without twitter, I presume it’s in reference to this: Beale had a secret twitter account?
