He gave up supporting Celtic because of the IRA supporting songs they sing, seems like a good bloke to me.

Yeah I remember him name checking them too. Think he mentioned the Pistols and the Clash too, but looks like he went darker.

In the book he talks about meeting members of the National Front. Some bollocks he had.

He's very good but unfortunately you really need to concentrate to understand him.
