The power of celebrity - NW

Now the Ogliarchs have been ostracised, who is going to fill the vacuum?

Arabs; probably. But also there are plenty of HK billionaires who are hovering around with zillions and zillions (made up term) of Chinese cash to invest.
 
The Yanks mate, franchise football is on it;s way. They own and are buying into more and more big clubs. AC Milan to Liverpool, Chelsea, United, Villa, Arsenal, Fulham, Bournemouth, Leeds, West Ham, the Nigels all have American shareholders.
Everything in the American vacuum is a commodity- in the most materialistic sense of the word. It sacrifices people's needs- culturally, and all else- on the altar of mindless, soulless consumerism. I can't fcking stand it- takes the meaning out of most everything. :tophat:

And we're the tail on the dog mate, exactly the same is happening here. Everything is for sale to the highest bidder. Transport, Gas, Electric, health care,,,,,,,,,,
