A man that doesn't believe in retirement definitely hasn't lumped bricks up and down scaffolding for years.
Although he's right to say that if you've put into the country for your entire working life you should be rewarded with an adequate state pension. Not the poverty payments we receive in Britain.

The writer here still doesn't come to the full conclusions of what is happening/happened to British football.
The advent of the premier league, every single club 1st division club resigning from the national league to start the new shiny league, has been a succession of decisions that have been designed to consolidate the cash flow. Creating this immobile group of teams in British football to rule over all.
This is essentially just monopoly capitalism at a football level. These clubs are nothing but corporations acting as capitalists do in an attempt to corner the market in which they profit from.

The Class Consciousness Project commits to set out a blueprint for change in trade unions.
But to understand the problems, we first need to understand how we got here. In the first part of this new series, we look at the period from 1964 to 1970.

Here's the audio version of our livestream from yesterday. We started with a discussion on our comrade Jason's recent article on Ben Shapiro's 'thoughts' on pensions. The discussion then broadened to addressing issues of community planning, supermarket monopolies and why the tesco clubcard points us towards the possibility of a planned economy.

Rishi Sunak, to thunderous applause turning into a standing ovation, proudly announced that the UK would no longer depend on Russian energy and, with camera flashes, signed a contract with a French energy company that exports LNG... from Russia.

Indian students saw the exhibition “Coal of Donbass”
🇮🇳More than 60 students from the faculties of history and journalism of Chennai universities took part in the opening of the unique exhibition “Coal of Donbass”, dedicated to Defender of the Fatherland Day and the anniversary of the beginning of the special military operation.
🖼The exhibition includes portraits of SMO heroes, volunteers, doctors, created by the artist Sergei Marchenko. The works were done on craft paper with charcoal, which symbolically correlate with the theme of Donbass - the largest coal deposit, called the “heart of Russia”.
🗣Invited artist and art critic Susan Tottan Athi noted the uniqueness of the charcoal work of full-fledged portraits and the choice of colors that allow you to feel the emotions of each character.
ℹ️The exhibition will be open until March 8th at the Russian House in Chennai.

🇬🇧🇷🇺UK Continues to Import Gas from Russia Despite Claims of Market Removal
Despite recent claims of "taking Russia out of the market," the United Kingdom maintains its intake of gas from Russia. The UK government has sealed an £8 billion energy agreement with TotalEnergies, a company that imports Russian gas into Europe.
According to Politico, UK hospitals, town halls, and government departments will benefit from heating sourced from this deal with TotalEnergies, which imports liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia.
This development follows closely on the heels of statements by the British cabinet asserting the removal of Russia from their market. However, TotalEnergies affirms its ongoing supply of Russian LNG to Europe, citing contractual obligations that cannot be unilaterally terminated.
Despite assurances from a UK government spokesperson about the sourcing of gas through domestic channels, Izvestia reports skepticism regarding the presence of Russian gas in the supply chain.

‘He was the only one that did his job right. He exposed US war crimes’
The decision on whether he will be extradited to the US will be made by a UK court today.
