Ah, I see why he’s so grumpy - Noel has an estimated worth of £53million, while his younger brother Liam, 51, is worth just £6million.

Liam was instructed to give half of his then £11m fortune to his ex-wife Nicole Appleton following their divorce proceedings in 2015.

No wonder he’s eager to make amends with his big brother.

Where are you getting those numbers? I'd say they're both worth a lot more.

Some people, including the Labour Government’s Culture Secretary, are very upset at the price of Oasis concert tickets.

For those of you not in the know, Oasis are a British 1990s rock band who disbanded in 2009 after the two founding brother Noel & Liam Gallagher fell out.

Interesting, guess that's the reason for the tour then. They'll probably fall out a number of times and not talk again after it.

Terms of the extremities? Superfluous?

Would you like me to ask for the OP to be moved?

If you don't mind, yes. This belongs in Debates. Some people do not agree.

I think that comment is entirely pertinent and is in fact the central point of the post.

And thus belongs in Debates.

Anything referencing the untruthful, emotional phrase "nanny state" is inherently political and thus belongs in Debates.

The Labour Party in the UK is based on socialism and has ties with socialist organisations in Europe. People who voted them in must be fully aware of what they believe and what type of government they stand for.

People don't agree with Rusty's did you know thread, does that 'belong' in debates?
