    Not for someone providing employment for thousands, nor someone who discovered the cure for all cancers, but for a bloody footballer. The world has gone mad.

    Lionel Messi earns slightly more than Adele, but I never see people whinging about how much she makes.

    Is that her weekly wage before sponsorship or addons? Or is she paid a percentage of profit?

    Two people in the entertainment industry. How is that not comparable?

    So you don't see a difference between someone who sells millions of records and someone who plays football?

    None whatsoever. They're both in the entertainment industry. The footballer is watched by millions of people and generates millions in advertising revenue.

    There are definite similarities. Neither one is worth it. One nurse contributes more to society than either one ever will.

    Nurses and footballers aren't paid from the same pot of money. If you're arguing in favour some kind of socialist fantasy then I'm afraid I can't take you seriously. If we're ranking people in terms of contributions to society, footballers pay for far more nurses etc than you ever will. I'm sure you'll never agree that this makes them better people than you.

    Not sure Adele is salaried as such. But she may well be under third party ownership by a variety of Uruguayan consortia.

    Agree here and I'm about as left as they come. Don't think that's the point he was making like, but...

    You can see from the slip, year to date he's paid 31m in tax. More than everyone who posts on here will pay in their entire lives, put together.

    Speaking of, should this not be removed as it's highly illegal?

    I was talking about the value the individual brings to society. Of course I didn't think I would have to spell this out for the terminally difficult of understanding. So you evaluate a persons value on a financial basis. I probably pay more in taxes than you. Next time we are both sick I deserve treatment first I suppose. In schools I should get to pick the best teachers for my kids. Maybe the local streetlights should switch on just for me. Being able to kick a ball round doesn't make a person better than a Neuro Surgeon or cancer specialist.if yo can't see that then I can't take you seriously.

    I'd happily pay that much tax. Where 2i sign up? Poor sod.

    Poor people still pay largest share of the tax.
