It only gives them power they don't warrant.

If you apologise to them they will keep on demanding apologies from everyone else, forever, pitchforks at the ready.Quote:

Yeah let’s have some kicking out........starting with them.
How can you charge someone for doing something years before he took the job they wouldn’t have a legal leg to stand onQuote:

I don't repeat such utterances on social media as I know that some family and friends will be offended by it - they have a very different sense of humour - and I simply don't want to either offend people directly or unintentionally have them believe that I really mean those ironically intended humorous views. So I choose not to say such things on social media.
I think I personally totally get the humour intended by Neville's statement - and appreciate the comedy. However, my wife has read the same statement and is horrified by it. Like most women, she is very sensitive to expressions on domestic violence as it has affected many women's lives in one way or another, and I don't think I can judge, or certainly nt impose my view on how women (and other men for that matter) should respond to Neville's (or any other similar 'ironic') tweets.
So I find it hard to figure out:
1. Why Neville, particularly as a public figure, would want to put such humour out into the public domain
2. Why anyone would be shocked or outraged that making such statements might conflict with getting a high profile work position of any kind, let alone managing a bloody WOMEN'S FOOTBALL TEAM!!
Same with Toby Young, Jared O'Mara et all - we need to bloomin' grow up and accept that if we want to make controversial comments on social media, then there may be implications for your career further down the line! That's not down to goody goody liberals, it's just that many people in the general public will be rightfully offended by it and therefore not want such people in the public positions.
It's really not rocket science! Grow up!
