Saw another post earlier from someone claiming they'd move to a country that doesn't take immigrants...

Was it satire?

I checked their account thinking it was parody but it didn't seem it was!

Yep seen that. I’ve seen a few others over the years, especially during Brexit when they voted to end their freedom of movement and right to live in the EU because there was too many foreigners in the UK.

These poor sods and their legitimate concerns.

Champagne socialist, as Simon Jordan put it.

Well of Simon Jordan says it.

Bet he was told to say that by his missus that works for GBeebies, they don’t know what it means either.

what does that actually mean? and is it supposed to be an insult?

Gary is correct

Someone that has money, but isn’t a complete POS

Rarely agree with Simon Jordan and he is someone who has been having digs at Neville for the longest time and it's always come across as bitter jealousy to me, but for once I think he is right here.

Champaign socialist reminds me of this meme:

Yeah, it’s also telling that the people that say it think it’s only poor people that could conceivably be socialist and, or, want a fairer distribution of wealth.

They cannot fathom that there are people with money that aren’t greedy, selfish pieces of shiiiiiit.

Jordan's anger is misplaced like SE85. Jordan thought it was xmas when he saw the pile on after Neville's inspiring rant.

I think Jordan has a point regarding Neville’s property portfolio tbf. I mean we are in the middle of a housing crisis, many of the white middle aged men he is referring to can probably not afford adequate housing, and he’s building a £400m property development. (I’m not aware of whether any of it is social housing so happy to be corrected if it is).

Gary Neville's Relentless Developments has committed to contributing to affordable housing through its projects, such as the St Michael's development, by incorporating affordable housing units and a significant percentage of these units within the broader schemes.

He has also expressed a desire to create integrated communities with higher percentages of affordable housing, aiming to deliver schemes that can be owned by local authorities without the need for government financing.

You can own houses and not profiteer. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with renting our houses, or renting them.

It’s putting rents up by 50% in 2-years just because that makes people horrible human beings.

It's a stupid comment from ppl who don't understand what socialism is. The great misconception is that socialism wants everyone to board a plane and turn right, when in fact it wants everyone to board and turn left.

Granted for that to happen all would need to be that higher standard but that's really the aspiration.

Whereas the go to argument for the right wing is always to reduce ppl to the lowest common denominator. It's why you hear brainwashed idiots trying to justify why doctors shouldn't get a payrise because the nurses get paid a pittance.

I don't see how it's exactly inspiring and is not misplaced or mistimed itself? He's using the "angry middle aged white man" as a punchbag in light of an attack by a non-white radical Muslim and using the flag raising as a stick to beat them with.

Why is it so? He is allowed to complain about the state of society while working within the parameters to benefit himself. It is not like he is being unnecessarily exploitative.

In my opinion yeah. Kind of goes without saying, just like what you have to say is your opinion, which I don't agree with....even though I haven't resorted to throwing out an insult.

Just like London buses....at least Gary got the middle aged bit right. 🤣

He is allowed of course but it appears I have just seen an angry white middle aged man come out and say something a bit divisive, as demonstrated by the reaction to what he said.

He talks about how he it's a great country and he's patriotic yet bemoans people who are putting flags up that for many will be a sign of their own patriotism.

They aren’t putting them up to be patriotic, they’re putting them up to be intimidating to people of a different colour and nationality.

Of course it is divisive, people don’t like being challenged on negative behaviours. An example being there are lots of largely good people, who have viewpoints that have a racial bias or view point - but often kick off when challenged because it is easier to reject something than reflect.

I think we all understand his point regarding flags. It is targeted at the people who are using it for division.
