Seems my hasty opinion of him may have been right after all ... ... despite his profound views on 'Triggernometry'
Don't think many lads fans were fooled by that small period where he went through a bit of a renaissance because he was tweeting philosophical quotes and such ****e!
Anyone who genuinely thinks that racist little pseud is actually intelligent has a much lower bar for intelligence than I do, mind. Barton is a gobby little outrage farmer. He's been a prick since he was born and he'll be a prick till the day he dies. Just hope he gets mercilessly filled in a few times along the way.
It's very easy to appear to be intellectual these days ... ... spell-check corrects you're spelling and grammatical errors, quotes from Oscar Wilde and Churchill are available on a Google click and any global event has a thousand conspiracy theories you can tap into. Any opposition can be easily countered by using the phrase, "Don't believe those lies in the media, do some proper research and you'll find the real truth." Sadly that 'truth' is usually from just another Joey Barton or 'Tommy Robinson' who gets their 'facts' from other lunatics on the internet. That truth is repeated until it becomes an absolute fact such as 'Only Nigel Farage has the answer to the immigration problem' ... ... despite him never ever saying what the answer actually is
Funnily enough, I see that Tommy Robinson has fled the country today. Due in court tomorrow and very likely to see jail time, so he's been really brave and legged it.
Nothing says we take a firm stance on domestic violence and sends a clear message than a suspended sentence.
A fifteen minute feature about this subject on BBC Breakfast this morning ... ... they'll be breaking out the Champagne tonight
2 years suspended sentence ? does every thug get that, no room in the jails i reckon, money talks eh. well he's lucky in this country, but he'll never get into either USA or Australia i know that.
If I typed on here my thoughts about him I would be banned for life, I will stick with the fact that he is a racist cretin.
