Politics one is woeful. Two strange blokes talking nonsense. History one is good. R.I.F. dire.

I'm confident I know more about the Middle East than Saint Gary and the vast majority of muppets on the hate marches. Anyone who calls the 7th October pogrom "the Hamas thing" should cease commenting on geopolitical issues immediately

That was a bad choice of words. Basically played down nearly 2000 people being killed and kidnapped as just a mere inconvenience. Can't really defend that.

wonder what his opinion was on the closure of the crisp factory in peterlee? given he can be quite outspoken i thought it was odd he never commented on it but then again any comment might have affected his deal with them.

That’s a hell of a bar to hold someone up to

Someone can have an opinion about something, publicly as well, without having to comment about everything

well given he seems to have an outspoken opinion on a lot of things i thought he might have one on the closure of a factory owned by his paymasters that resulted in the loss of hundreds of jobs in one of the most deprived areas of the country, don't you agree?
he's nothing more than a hypocritycal shithouse.

He’s sponsored by a company. That make crisps. Sadly, that’s capitalism.

Find me some examples of sportspeople who come out and criticise their sponsors.

I hate the argument that someone who has an opinion on something, but not another, and that makes them a twat. It’s far easier to stay silent.

it's called having a conscience, and yes it does make him a twat no matter how much you think it doesn't.
