I'm just convincing myself that the Aussies are simply waiting to see who wins the world cup before snapping up the entire winning squad and management team and closing the deal for Charlton on Monday.
‘With 200 euros per month up to 17 years, 550 euros for people between 18 and 25, 750 euros to 65 and 1.300 per month afterwards, you get there. That basic income is part of the current wage or the current benefit. It is therefore not on top of the current wage, as some suggest it. Social security is a house that has existed for seventy years, but is not isolated and has no double glazing yet. At most, a rear kitchen was added. You should completely break it down and build a new house: based on the basic income. ' Conservative But then there is 'the system'. "As a politician, you must have enough votes. You do not get that when you say things that upset people. (laughing) I always did that. And you certainly can not tell anything innovative, because people are essentially conservative. Take the basic income. You can not politically sell it, because it would make people independent of political service and that is the nightmare for politicians. People themselves would only realize how good it is when it is there. That is the paradox. ' 'If you do not innovate in business, you will die. If you do not innovate in politics, you survive. That frustrated sometimes, yes. An example: normally all those young people who are in Werchter today, should now be in Brustem near Sint-Truiden. That agreement was round, Herman Schueremans wanted that too, but the then sp.a mayor (Ludwig Vandenhove, ed.) Stopped it because he was afraid that I would be the winner there. That was fired purely for political reasons. '
'The socialists have their pawns everywhere, also at De Lijn and at Roads and Traffic. So yes, it is true that the sossen work against a lot. But the N-VA is unfortunately not the solution. Because then you will sit with obsolete combat aircraft, without social security and with a split country. What is silly. The opportunity that the success of the Red Devils offers should now be used to re-invent Belgium. Make English the official language and let everyone else speak their own language. ' Ideas are enough, but politics is a thing of the past. The question is: would a successful entrepreneur not be able to put all those ideas and energy - and perhaps his money - into an NGO? 'Most people with a large capacity that I know also have a big social side. I support a few people who are struggling. But too many people think that a rich tide can replace social security and have time to deepen their problems. That is not true. There are three projects that I fully help. One: Wikipedia. Because free dissemination of knowledge in the world is extremely important. Two: Transparency International, an organization that fights corruption. And three: BIEN, stands for Basic Income European Network. '
"We were home with five children," he says. "My father was a gendarmerie officer and my parents thought it was important for us to get that. My brother Alain, who died six months ago, became a gendarmerie colonel. A sister taught all her life, a brother went into private and another became a soldier. My parents, in particular, felt important in their responsibility. I also try to give my six children that. ' Who is 71 might think of retirement. He does not do that. 'Stopping is not as easy as an entrepreneur. My added value is that I understand fairly well how the global economy works. Not many people have that, and you can not just pass it on. ' Who 71 is, can also look back. Far even. Were his achievements and his activities, until today, at Melexis, X-FAB and in the hospitality industry around Stayen, a childhood dream? "Not at all," he says. "I wanted to play and have comrades. My only ambition was to be happy. And that is still the case. ' The coffee has become cold.
Waffle waffle blah blah blah...just Sell the club you fuc£"n miserable old c"@t & rid us of this shite & your wasted dogbreath...!!!
Agree change is much needed and can’t believe no one wouldn’t welcome it.
However it’s clearly been amateur hour for the past several months! The guys even turned up wearing scarves in the directors box at the end of last season and here we are barely weeks away from the start of the season and we are no better off.
Lieven said that historic issues have now been sorted (at great expense to the Aussies). The recent documents issue I suspect is, relative to them, a minor blip.
Happy to bet a £50 donation to the museum that this goes forward. Let’s see the colour of your money @Streetlife !
as in the Aussies have paid up the £7m past director loans then?
