Taxpayer outrage!

I’m generally fairly chilled about where my ‘tax payer’s’ money goes. Find it hard to muster any real outrage…

But fookin WEST HAM?!!

Apparently I am down for paying for one of the corner flags at our tax payers stadium. :astonished:

Away fans should get free entry on all WHU games. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Please do elaborate…

Ah, got you now :-

Gold and Sullivan must be laughing all the way to the bank with this one…

How much can one club get from our pockets?

A huge stadium in the most expensive city in the country for next to nothing, most of their upkeep taken care of and you can just bet that all those agreed terms about multi-use will eventually fall by the wayside.

“We’re in football now”, the former smut barons might have been heard to say. “The porn industry, like paying for football clubs, is for cunts”.

Nice work if you can get it.

I do like a good outrage thread.

Apparently Man City pays twice as much in rent, £4m a year, to Manchester City Council for Eastlands, which cost a seventh of the Olympic stadium. And they pay for their own corner flags…

Does that up the outrage ante?

What sticks in my craw is that the bros profiting from this, i.e. the West Ham owner bros, are two of the biggest cunts on the planet.

I remember even at the time, when I was out dogging with Boris, I said Boris, what you want to do Boris, is convert the site residential, like i.e. Arsenal done with Highbury. You will make a fucking packet, Boris! You can even shove some of it on schools to improve i.e. sporting facilities, if you want. But did he listen? Did he fuck! Floppy-haired cunt!

Excellent outrage, Brian.

You prob didn’t see it unless you was quick, but originally I went spastic on the Add Post button, and it come out like 20 times. It looked too outrage tho, even for me, so I deleted all the duplicate posts. Gr8 story.

Here’s something a colleague of mine has just worked out: UK state aid for business (of which the West Ham deal would be a very small part indeed) amounts to £93 billion a year.

That’s about £15 billion more than we spend on the entire British state school system.

So while the working poor are getting shafted by cuts in tax credits, the state benefits just pour into the coffers of private companies like that run by our pornographer friends above.

I saw it. Scary. I was waiting for the pay off - that you now wish to be known as Bearsy al-Britani.

I wouldn’t mind so much if I liked them… If Bournemouth got this deal, I’d be quite relaxed. But WEST HAM?! No one likes West Ham!!

Dunno if this is the place to post this, but if how to set income tax floats your boat this is quite a good read:
