Laurence Fox. The twat.

I know a Londoner who was actually annoyed about the bilingual signs in Wales when he visited, arguing that it was a waste of money and that they should all be in English only.

Our friendship never recovered from that. The ignorant twat.
This comes from the place where some Londoners think London subsidises the rest of the UK, when in fact it’s the reverse.

Neither is true, or at least not to a degree that's significant. Even the wildest pro-London take puts the purported subsidy at £5B out of a budget of 1.2 trillion pounds. The London fiscal balance is mainly due to policy, rather than economics. It's easier to spend money where you've already been spending it.

The claims for London are crudely based on the tax take per head. What they do not take into account are the jobs and infrastructure in London that the UK tax payer pays for: the jobs in Whitehall, including rafts of high paid mandarins; bodies with huge staff details in London, such as the Cabinet Office, Crown Prosecution Service, Department for Communities and Local Government, Department for Culture, Media and Sport, Department of Energy and Climate Change, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, Her Majesty's Treasury, Ministry of Justice, UK Statistics Authority, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, boundary commission of England, Home Office, Ministry of Defence, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Department for Work and Pensions, Department of Health, Department for Transport, Department for Education, department for Culture, Media and Sport, DFID, Attorney General's Office, Treasury Solicitors, Government Equalities Office, The Supreme Court. Those employees pay tax, yes, but their wages and departments are paid for by the whole of the UK.

That's without the considerable BBC presence still in London, the Unions with headquarters in London, the charities and NGOs with headquarters in London and so on.

What about the infrastructure that serves London? The Olympic stadia and infrastructure? The rail networks feeding London? The Channel tunnel? The Millennium Dome? And what food does London produce? And so on.

Loser's attempt to pick up some reflected glory from Tommy Robinson having fallen as flat as his attempt to crawl up Farage'.s backside during the election I guess it's back to what he does best. Lose in court.
 
Give the loathsome cant his due, he's actually been rather shrewd here - not only has he escaped 'Londonistan' - with its no-go zones, predatory drag queens and women drinking pints.

But in addition, his rented caravan can easily be converted into a tres chic, vibing pop-up restaurant, 'Foxes' - where personal service is paramount and a warm welcome guaranteed, with 'Lozza' doing a threes-up as mein Fuhrer host, maitre de and chef, serving up (ahem) his only signature dish 'Burnt sausage de Fox aux pomme-frites de MacDonalds, avec la Iceland stringy runner beans'.

They'll be queuing up on a Friday and a Saturday night I tells ya - he'll be raking it in

What a good dad. Looks like he even considerately provided a bottle of gin for his kids to wash down the burnt food and anaesthetice them while he's boring them to death with rambling stories about the bogieman drag queen.
 
One of the things that pisses me off about Fox, and people who are like him, is how for all they spout about being mavericks and rebels and iconoclasts, they are so predictable. They go down the same route. They go on the same podcasts and talk at the same events and spout the same talking points. Oh, women shouldn't commentate on football, drag queens are paedophiles, black people are criminal scum, Sadiq Khan won't return my calls. And at some point they decide they're Christians, so they can wheel it out when it's convenient, even though most of them haven't glanced at a Bible in their lives. Hopkins did it, Lozza did it, Brand did it, now Matt Le Tissier's decided he's a Christian, but does he go on Songs of Praise like Gavin Peacock (there's one for you Chelsea fans)? No, he goes on a podcast by a 'radical' vicar who's ever so concerned about ~gender ideology~ and what the Labour government will mean for Christians. Joey Barton will be finding Jesus any minute. It's textbook.

No offence to Liverpool fans but I find Roberto Firmino's hardcore in-your-face ostentatious Christianity kind of obnoxious. But I'll say this for him: he genuinely believes it. None of these guys do, it's just another grift. The only real belief any of them have is 'what will piss off lefties the most'. As if Lozza even likes football.

Charlatans, the lot of them. Fuck religion.
 
I can't disagree tbh. I find megachurches distasteful in the extreme. And one thing that depressed me about the Vatican (I didn't go into the place itself, just St Peter's Square) was all that splendour, all that money, and just a few blocks away there are homeless people camping on the banks of the Tiber. It's obscene. Even more so when you hear about the Pope during WW2 collaborating with Mussolini.

I hope you said something along the lines of "We don't mind paying for the English translations for visitors to out country..."
 
Funny how it’s only the bigotry aspect of Christianity thats of interest, as opposed to any community focussed activity which might fall into the “good thing” side of the ledger.
Christianity makes such big claims though. That's the trouble. Life, the universe and everything. When it fails, as it always has done, for centuries, and as it always will, anyone with any sense would conclude that it's all bollocks.
 
Ah this is where the Nicky Doll libel comes from. Republicans are furious that the Olympics Opening Ceremony had a 'parody of the Last Supper' that actually is nothing of the sort:


which is fucking ironic considering how they've accepted this (apparently satirical) image of Trump.

I wonder whether he had any idea of who he was libeling.
