Loppy seing sense.
My husband has been in @TheGreenParty for 45 years & I have been in for nearly 30. Today we cancel our direct debit & leave.The rot started with “Transwomen are women, no debate “. Now it is an anti semitic, pro nuclear power party. Not a Green Party.

🚨🗣️ Sir Alex Ferguson- statement on Manchester City Case:🔴💣
“If they are found guilty of cheating, then they must face the full consequences. There should be absolutely no sympathy, no special treatment and certainly no excuses. You cannot spend years bending the rules and then expect everyone to simply look the other way.
“We built Manchester United through generations of hard work, discipline and sacrifice. We didn’t try to manufacture success by breaking the rules. Our history wasn’t bought overnight. It was earned.
“If Manchester City’s success during those years was built on cheating, then the football authorities have a responsibility to deal with it properly. Strip the trophies. Deduct the points. Relegate them if that is what the rules demand.
“Let them understand one thing: trophies won by breaking the rules should never be treated as untouchable. If you cheat the game, you don’t get to keep the rewards and pretend nothing happened.
“Football has laws for a reason. Big clubs, small clubs, rich clubs or poor clubs — nobody should be above them. If they cheated, they should pay the price. No mercy.”

“Most people who read ‘The Communist Manifesto’ probably have no idea that it was written by a couple of young men who had never worked a day in their lives, and who nevertheless spoke boldly in the name of ‘the workers.’”
— Thomas Sowell
Most #Mancity fans on this cite have zero contrition about what’s been found out. They are the most delusional group of fans out there. Not a single one is sorry for what their club has done. They are a disgrace.

IT’S OFFICIAL: The @premierleague confirms Manchester City are the biggest cheats in British football history.
Punishment must hurt:
Relegate them, strip them of their fraudulently won titles + dock them 25pts for first 5 seasons if/when they get back in the Premier League.

When I wrote about this image rights sham for The Independent in 2018, Manchester City threatened to sue us and demanded I tweet out a personal apology on here. We fought them. They did not sue us.
City's sham is confirmed by the Premier League today independent.co.uk/sport/foot…
Dear oh dear.
🚨 Official: Manchester City Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak statement.
“I have been part of this Club for 18 years. I have had the privilege to stand with you in the Etihad, at Wembley, and in Istanbul. This Club matters to me, and you have shown and told me – time and time again - how much Manchester City matters to you. This is why I am writing to you today”.
“Following Friday’s media reporting, many of you will have spent your evening answering questions and responding to messages from friends, family and colleagues. So have I”.
“Here’s what I said to my family: The Premier League process still has a long way to run, and our confidence and intent in proving the Club’s innocence is just as strong as when this began”.
“There are so many things that I would like to be able to share with you to help you understand why we feel so confident in our position. But the strict confidentiality of the legal process and our determination to respect it means I cannot do that at the moment. Even this letter underwent several legal checks to make sure it complies”.
“I ask you to please carefully read the statement below, which we gave on Friday, and the statement we issued in February 2023 (also below). Every word matters and holds true”.
“While some people have been quick to reach their own conclusions, and there is so much noise swirling around us, nothing has changed. We have faced challenges together before and have prevailed. There remain many who want to undermine the momentum of our Club. We will not give them that opportunity”.
“We have some exciting moments to look forward to after this international break. We travel to Anfield in a fortnight, and then host Paris St Germain in the Champions League back at Etihad Stadium - moments that give us an opportunity to celebrate the strength of the Manchester City family”.
“Thank you, as always, for your constant support. Khaldoon Al Mubarak”.
This one’s deluded as he forgets Chelsea’s misconduct occurred during a previous owners time, not the current one ..who actually reported it.
Chelsea had 74 charges and nothing happened to them, yet they went on to win titles. It would be so unfair if the Premier League decided to strip Manchester City of our titles based on these charges. A fine is good enough and we move on.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Chelsea were charged by the FA with 74 breaches of agent/third-party rules under prior ownership, which new owners self-reported and admitted; they faced £10m FA fine plus suspended transfer ban, PL £10.75m fine with suspended ban and academy ban, and UEFA ~£8.6m fine.

He thinks his club are above the rules. He’s in for a nasty shock and the tears will be particularly salty.
If you seriously think the Premier League will sanction Manchester City over the 115 charges, then you clearly don’t understand how business works.
Look at Serie A and how years of sanctions and FFP-related punishments to Inter Milan, Juventus and others destroyed the league.
The Premier League will never make that mistake.
This explains why they hired Maresca. He’s got Championship experience. #mancityguilty

Thomas Sowell warned about what happens when personal responsibility starts disappearing from society.
When people are constantly taught that someone else is responsible for their problems, accountability fades and dependency grows.
A free society cannot survive without personal responsibility.
