Jim Davidson questions club’s diversity obsession ..

Classic response from Jimbo

 

" now you see me, now you don't".

 

He’s a proper South Londoner, like us.

You either get it or you don’t.

 

Davidson sits in the directors box at Charlton, not very near to Elliott.

 

Jim has a lot of common sense.

 

A former friend who is no longer with us went to school with him. Said he used to make his classmates laugh by mimicking the teachers.

 

He also used to sell drugs around the Fox Under The Hill and Sun In The Sands area. Speed I seem to remember.

 

I used to love his Chalkie routine as a kid.

Good harmless South London humour.

Would probably get him arrested and a five year prison sentence today.

 

Jim Davidson does a lot of unheralded charity work for our Armed Forces.

Our service personnel absolutely adore Jim - although you won’t hear much about it. He has raised millions for them over the years.

Towards the end of her wonderful life (I attended her State funeral, I may have mentioned it), Mrs Thatcher was asked by Jim to speak at a prestigious black tie gala at a hotel in London to fund raise for service personnel. 1,200 tickets were duly sold

In the days before the event, Mrs Thatcher’s office informed Jim that she was no longer well enough to speak, prompting Jim & Jeffrey Archer to have to personally Tippex her name off the programme for that evening.

On the night itself, Mrs Thatcher duly arrived. Looking at the programme, Jim sat next to her observed her scratching off the Tippex over her name. She then went on to deliver a brilliant off the cuff speech to the 1,200 in attendance, including quoting military poetry.

We will truly not see her like again

 

I’d have her back in charge in an instant , rather than the spineless lot we have now

 

The good old right to buy
