    I'm so sorry chaps but you will only be getting 20,000 pounds for the next few weeks and I hope it will be enough for you to live a normal life. Wake up areseholes because for years you have been raping the hell out of people when it comes down to the facts of finances.

    Will this pandemic wake the world up when it comes to equality or the right to live in peace? Not a bloody chance in my mind but then again greed and selfishness has always been the big detractor in the sensibility stakes. Keep safe one and all and everything will turn out fine.

    The EPL is not alone here....it's just the most outrageous in terms of finances.

    When you think about the sacrifices and risks first responders and healthcare professionals are taking now, and even grocery store workers, food preparation and delivery workers, truckers are encountering, it makes you extremely pissed off when pro athletes sit in luxury & continue to collect exorbitant salaries whilst "normal" people suffer.

    The same goes for actors, singers....the list goes on.

    Time to wake up and bring some sanity to the world. Forgo your excess wealth to allow others to keep food on the table.

    I work in social care. It doesn't irritate me at all. The EPL is a moral vacuum and was before this crisis. This is why it generates the money it does. Its a bubble that is removed from reality.

    Society already needed a reset. What irritates me is the likes of Mr Khan coming to these conclusions now.

    What I object to as well are the mega earners that are still simply idiots despite previous warnings about their social life

    Stand up Jack Grealish
    Again !

    He's a perfect example of the overpaid, over privileged life of a Premiership footballer who believes he's bullet proof

    Indeed, along with Gary Neville who also went up hugely in my estimation after his recent exceptionally generous gesture.

    in a perverse sort of way and a limited way these high earners it is hoped pay tax to the uk government ….

    a big reset of the world is there for the taking.. but I bet we miss the opportunity … I don't know how we could achieve it .. HAVE FEW IDEA's maybe one would be wipe 40% off everyone [countries ] in the worlds debt on the 1st January 2021 somewhere along the line this debt must all be inter linked …. ?

    maybe a kick start of the uk .....................uk peeps doing the menial tasks instead of taking handouts instead by earning a years worth of income helping the market gardeners at £300+ a week for 26 weeks would by the end of the year make them £5k better off and they might like to work more then? ……

    I would love to go pick fruit or veg but unfortunately at my age although able to wander up mountains/crawl around underground passages my back prohibts me from to much bending over or over reaching ….

    Tax the rich properly. Share the wealth. There's plenty of money out there, it's just not being distributed properly.
