⚡🇬🇧🇺🇸 JD Vance: “Defending your culture isn’t radical. It’s reasonable.”
“To everybody in the UK who rejects that idea, I’d encourage them to just keep on going
It’s okay to want to defend your culture. It’s okay to want to live in a safe neighborhood. It isn’t radical.”
Now the dust has settled.. The reaction from many high profile people is way over the top. John Beaton was advised to go to the monitor and saw that the ball hit the arm in an unnatural position Bottom line is people would hate to see Celtic win the title again and that is all.
