Sarah Smith #r4today says Trump gave no details about (didn’t know or care) what happens next with the Gaza/Israel peace deal but she can confirm that Trump will be “furious” on Friday if he isn’t awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Wow.

The chap on the left once defended marriage between siblings in a live interview on GB News.

By all accounts it was too much even for GB News viewers.

Cameron 3rd? Austerity and Brexit, 'I went to Eton so I'd be good at it' Cameron? That one?! Shows how utterly appalling the rest of them are then.

Simon Jordan on TalkSport, unchallenged yet again.

As a Talksport employee, I am embarrassed by this rebuttal of what Neville said. This moron pontificates without question. It is bonkers.

And yeah, i'll probably be sacked. Fuck it.

Simon Jordan is a fucking prick

Trudging Spineripper @grudgingsignup.bsky.social · 1d

every time I see one of these "will so-and-so be sacked for angry political rant??" stories I go and look at what they actually said

and it's almost always so mild, so plainly true, I'm amazed it's even controversial

then the "balance" viewpoint looks like this:

"But others have been left outraged, with former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan labelling Neville a ‘champagne socialist’ and a ‘coward’.
What is a champagne socialist?

A ‘champagne socialist’ is a derogatory term, usually used by people on the right-wing of the political spectrum, to describe someone who espouses socialist ideals while enjoying a wealthy, luxurious lifestyle.

‘I think it’s astonishing in the wake of an Islamist terror attack that he decides to have a go at middle-aged white men,’ Jordan said on talkSPORT.

‘Maybe the middle-aged white men are the ones who worked on minimum wage inside his hotel, I don’t know. I think he’s a champagne socialist and a coward. It’s a dreadful thing to have said.’

Jordan continued: ‘I think the real issue is about radical Islamist extremism and he doesn’t have the balls to call it out for what it is, rather than suggest that challenging our country about what’s happening, he’s insulated from these things.

‘He lives in a very rarified world where his money and privilege has allowed him to live in a gated environment, not have to worry about NHS appointments, doesn’t have to worry about people being attacked in the streets by immigrants that shouldn’t be here in the first place.

‘He doesn’t have to worry about these things, so he has the ability to sit there and observe in such a way that insulates himself from it.

‘I think it’s an appalling stance to have taken.’"

Here's the piece, and it's excellent. archive.ph/LQ7K0
Said similar on a different thread months back- I'm an exiled Scouser who lived in Brum for nearly 20 years from the early 80's (even married a Villa fan!) and think it's the most underrated city in the country, I love going back there.

So if you are a racist and you like your fellow racists to be bent, grifting incompetents then Jenrick is your man.

Ha, cheers. I know it's early days with new ground/owners but I hope some sensible decisions are made in favour of 'legacy' fans for next season and not just day trippers/tourists.... but might need a lot of 🤞 there.

I asked Everton q's months ago & got tbh evasive/ non-committal answers. But, based on Goodison ST numbers against increased capacity of 12k ir so & our drop from being in the 4 to 4.5 bracket to 2.5/3k in the queue seems only a few thousand ordinary not Club/Village seat ST's were issued?

Can't Everton have a "buy back" clause put in. If there are still unsold seats 48 hours before the club, should have them back so they can be sold. There'll be loads of fans who would buy them.(At sensible prices). It looked bad seeing all the empty seats yesterday
