Possibly so.

The naive amongst us wouldn’t believe it possible.

Is he being a tad hypocritical? I think you could argue he is. Are most people? Yeah they are.

You are a prime example.

In what way am I a prime example?

What he actually said was I don't want anyone living in No.10 or No.11 , when people areworried about paying their energy bills and worried about how they are going to get through the winter, thinking about bankers bonuses... it's not right & it's immoral..


That omitted sentence makes much more sense of what Neville is saying. I know Howdy will be demanding that he kills his mother and sells her body for meat in order to raise money for the poor, but for me he's just making a political point. I remember my childhood hero Gary Numan making positive comments about the Conservatives and Thathcher whenb I was young. He was still a hero to me, and he's still entitled to those views now. Who cares?

Bankers and footballers are overpaid but at least bankers work 50-60 hours a week and they've done A Levels, degrees, banking qualifications. Footballers live the life of Riley, they never have to grow up.

Cam, it's a stunning place. I've only been thro the airport. which is brilliant, i used it 3 or 4 times a year when my other half worked in China.. Doha make great viewing at night when you're coming to land.

Now Naomi Campbell has jumped on the circus. She's a leading campaigner for LGBT+ rights and now opens a fashion show in Doha.......you couldn't make it up.....the fashion industry is full of gays, so good luck with that.

P.S. i don't really care what happens in other countries and their laws are theirs.

Sorry, I don't understand what that has to do with my point? Why does it matter what celebrities say about politics as everyone is entitled to speak their views in a free country?

No it’s our duty to interfere and impose our “correctness” upon them

Or so we are programmed to believe

And we're free to point out the hypocrisy.

So I guess using your logic, wealthy celebrities and people are free to contribute their views arguing for low tax, low state societies but they are immediately hypocrites if they argue for the opposite? Is that how it works now?

Anyway, back to Gary Neville and according to him he's off Ronaldo's Christmas card list....ain't that a shame.
