@OfSymbols @EJShone93 I mean, obviously it's deliberate ignorance, but it's also ignorant ignorance in the form of a complete lack of interest in finding out new things.

@OfSymbols @EJShone93 Like wealth taxes. The "bUT thEy WilL LEaVe" questions thrown at Gabriel Zucman, answered carefully with data about exactly what happens and what can be done, but then asked in exactly the same way a month later to Gary Stevenson, as if the answers weren't already given.

@pythaginboots As ever, there are no absolutes. He needs to be paired with top tier technicians to allow his outstanding qualities to shine. England need a Wharton or a Mainoo or a Lewis Skelly or a Trent around him so they can be the release valve when the pressure's on. Arteta knows this.

@janhopi @tristandross Bellingham would be my choice. All rounder and when he's deeper he doesn't change the issue with not being able to hold onto the ball in high pressure situations.

@scottjwillis If Arsenal hadn't spent 6 years nailing transfers to the extent they moved from 8th to 1st, it'd be understandable. But as it is, people should see Arsenal don't have the billions to smash through negotiations and are shopping for rare talents, so it takes longer than most clubs.

@Xinirnix @parissyg @ArranPascoe @billycarpy @grok I'm not whining. In general, my position is: I don't care. I expressed momentary curiosity. Apologies. Won't happen again.

@isaac_kh Yes but remember, the fantasists are the ones who question whether dredging up more North Sea oil is a good idea&wonder if waiting for solar and wind to be profitable might take too long. The hard-nosed realists are the ones who think we should ignore catastrophic global heating.

@ArranPascoe @billycarpy I thought exactly this. Is there a specific provision in the "mistaken identity" rule for this exact situation? Because if not, it really doesn't feel true to mistaken identity as a concept.

@Proudlibyandoc @PhilipProudfoot It might well in the short term, but FPTP has blatantly been a major factor in getting us this far towards Reform. Two party system it propped up has left so little room for expression of any political dissent it's created a monstrous economy with a fully wound up population.

Watching Haaland this tournament without the Man City baggage has been a joy. It's crazy to think he's only 25. Nothing is for certain, but with some bounces, health, fortune, and more development, he could reach Merino levels.

There’s a good line from Gary Stevenson while speaking to Piers Morgan last night. You can’t have an untaxed billionaire class, and an asset owning middle class at the same time. You have to choose. He’s right.

@flying_rodent Does it not, in some ways, make you despair that enough people are willing to swallow the whims of said 2,000 wankers? (Not by any means a majority, but enough, within FPTP)

@fkhanage @afcjxmes Ppl want to turn the academy into a second first-team, full of expensive signings. Bt there's a reason only the likes of City&Chelsea can afford that risk. Given the results from the academy in recent years, the rush to change it clearly a symptom of enjoying short term spending

@BanterV2Mfrs @garyseconomics I get where you're coming from. I think people would in general be more up for growth-based solutions if we'd seen anyone pull out much growth since 08.

@BanterV2Mfrs @garyseconomics The tax is more about equalising wealth than paying off debts. U.K.'s debt levels are pretty normal, even by a monetarist analysis.
