You are right, never kick a man when he"s down. But what about the poor pensioners who froze to death without their fuel allowance payment. Totally obscene policy to cut their allowance. Cry for them not two tier Keir, the Knight of the realm Labour man.
The reaction to Keir Starmer’s resignation has been ugly.
You can think he was a bad Prime Minister. I do. You can think he got a great deal wrong. He did. I’ve said as much often enough myself. But if you watched a man stand there, visibly broken, resigning after less than two years in one of the most brutal jobs in the country, and felt nothing but glee, mockery or spite, that does not make you insightful. It makes you emotionally stunted.
Some of you are so tribal, so nasty and so utterly lacking in grace that you watched a man being brought down in public and treated it as entertainment. It is a very ugly look, and a very small one.
And the really stupid part is that many of you still haven’t grasped the bigger point. Keir Starmer was never the real problem. Labour is. The ideology is. Remove the man at the top and the machine remains.
I wanted him gone too. But wanting him gone and behaving like a pack of sneering little yobs when he finally falls are not the same thing.
🚨🗣️ | Pep Guardiola Shocked on Arsenal fans Reaction towards Gabriel Magalhaes after missing the Penalty: 🤯
“I have to say something because I saw this and, honestly, it blew my mind. It blew my mind. We know how this business works. Usually, in a Champions League final, a player misses a crucial penalty against a top, top team like PSG, and the next day... it is a disaster for him. The social media, the media, it can be very, very cruel. Very ugly. You expect the anger, the threats, the terrible words. We see it all the time.
But what the Arsenal fans did for Gabriel? Wow. It is something else. Truly. To see a player fail in the most painful moment, and the response from the stadium, from the people, is just... pure love? I am told his shirt sales went up by three hundred and fifty percent in a few days. Three hundred and fifty percent! This is incredible. I have been in football a long, long time, as a player and a manager, and I have never seen anything like it. Never.
You know, you open Facebook, you open Instagram or Twitter, and the narrative is always the same. 'Arsenal fans are insufferable. They are the worst fanbase, they are annoying.' You hear this tag all the time. But I look at this gesture and I think, 'How?' How do they have this tag? If a fanbase can wrap their arms around a player like that, in the darkest moment of the club's history a trophy they have been dying to win for decades then everything we are told online is a lie. It is a massive misconception. They have been judged so harshly.
This shows me who they really are. It shows their class, their humanity, and their loyalty. To behave like this? It is not annoying, it is not insufferable. It is beautiful. They deserve incredible praise for this, because this is what football should be about”
Arsenal football club is different from many other clubs ❤️
