Who stated thorium was safe? I must admit that I was very surprised that the ragged Italian coalition fell in behind the vaccination decision. It is one which is backed by science. Vaccines prevent almost all infection and schools congregate a large number of children together which make them ideal for the transmission of disease. For herd immunity we need something like 95% to be vaccinated. The science is against you and your anti-vacc propaganda kills people. Shame! Frog ina tree

Who stated thorium was safe? What ever happened to personal free choice? Don´t take your kids to school! Is there any evidence vaccines work? You need to look at the marketing strategies big pharm uses. Just look at pre - 2000´s lead was emitted from vechicle exhausts, this is absolutely incredible. If you are so pro vaccines what about amalgam fillings? Look at these HAART drugs, now being closely linked hodgkin lymphoma, trying to prevent something that may just be hypothetical. Look at charities such as Parkinson’s ones. Proclaiming to be “finding a cure”. Jesus! neurological disorders & injuries medicine, still cannot treat let alone cure. If you don´t know what causes Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, how can you possibly hope to find a “cure”. More BS more the medical community. Now the thought is that Alzheimer´s is just a severe form of dementia nothing to do with the one found in 1906.

Who stated thorium was safe? Hi Sara, Good to see Italy taking the lead with “no vaccination, no school”. Who’d a thought it. Our old friend Les seems to have dropped off the radar. Probably playing with Percy? Frog

Who stated thorium was safe I never knew that thorium was used by today´s military before watching this video. “He explained that thorium is much more harmful than depleted uranium, and that the area of the polygon of Quirra was completely impregnated. This substance has found its way into cheese, worms, mushrooms, shepherds and animals: pigs born with six legs and lambs with a single large eye.” [link]

The arabs & football, what´s the true intention? With Preniership football most teams do not rely on match day attendances, 12% of turn-over accounts for match day income. If you look at West Ham´s move to the LS it has generated very little extra income, even though there are 62% more seats than at the Boleyn. Income actually fell last year. I wonder what Tottenham´s financial risk strategy is for not qualifying for the CL? Many of these clubs finances are so hidden it´s untrue. With the stadium going up so quick I would be surprised if there are much more things not working than the retractable pitch. It just appears so late in the cycle to build a new stadium.

The arabs & football, what´s the true intention? Spurs new stadium is about £1bn… and they are on the way also to being £1bn in debt… they’d better keep on winning to draw in that audience. Stiffing fans with £1-2k season tickets will help of course. Odds on the retractable pitch not working?

SaraRacano 06 Feb 2019

The arabs & football, what´s the true intention? Moreover, I wonder whether Spurs are really regretting building their new stadium? Remember you can only stay or increase your league position by leverage!

The arabs & football, what´s the true intention? PS. Hopefully that’ll end the ongoing misery for Hammers fans too.

J_Westlock 06 Feb 2019

The arabs & football, what´s the true intention? Bring it on. We could do with st least 5 fewer teams in the top 2 Leagues. I’m sure BT, Sky and Amazon won’t be too hurt by a rationalisation in the Soccer structure… might even make it cheaper for them.

The arabs & football, what´s the true intention? If you look at the case study of Birmingham City, where the wages were 2x turn over, I dare say if you look at many Championship clubs their finances are not much better. However, Premiership clubs have little to do with Championship sides. Most of these huge transfer fees are conducted between top flight teams. If one team defaults on one of these transfer payments & they are all leveraged to the hilt it could spark a dominio effect. What with huge infrastructure investment over the past 2 decades, any decline in TV revenues could be extremely damaging!

The arabs & football, what´s the true intention? I read the link Hardcore. I go along with that but tbh it isn’t that much of a different story to what we’ve had since the 80s. Players wages have spiraled, transfer fees have gone through the roof, club finding becomes less dependent on supporters and rich owners buy football clubs. It’s worse now than it’s ever been but that’s been the direction of travel for 40 years now. So what’s the worst that will happen? Some sh*te clubs might go under? But so? I don’t think we need so many Teams frankly… football is over-bloated. There are 3 levels below the Premier League that make up the Football League. Frankly, hardly anyone watches the lower 2 levels and fewer want to sponsor them. It’s only the top 2 tiers that people watch… and 90% of that is the Premiership. It’s just a fact of life. I agree that the situation is actually more fragile than some may think. The money that currently floods into the Premiership could easily shift to Series A or La Liga… or elsewhere as football expands around the world. Sky, BT and now Amazon are largely funding the Premiership… when the punters start finding it too mush to pay… that’s when things might start collapsing in. Good.

The arabs & football, what´s the true intention? I have just added a Forbes link, to the “Premiership bubble” which highlights how badly this could end. I never said they are buying clubs for the fans. eg. dubious tax arrangements, offshore money, marketing, advertising, adulation… There are many that have got out look at Málaga. Not quite an arab but, Abramovich looks to want to sell No doubt the EU super-league is being promoted by the arabs. But with margins of around 4% this would not even attract Chinese investors. Normally when you´re chasing 4% yields it shows some degree of desperation.
