The cash he's put in is a loan, he isn't from Hull and he doesn't live in Hull, nor is his business in Hull, but as people seem to keen on the East Riding, we'll maybe let you adopt him or something. Being rich isn't an excuse for doing something stupid, if there was any point to what he was doing, he might get more people on side, but any idiot can see it's utter bollocks.
Yet he's lived in Hull longer than you have. Quite a lot longer than a lot of immigrants (I refuse to call them ex-pats, they're no different to the folks we have coming to the UK, so why call them different like they're special) to other countries too who seem to get all excited about something they chose to bugger off from. I find that funny for some reason. Plenty of us had good reason to move away from Hull, but he didn't, he stayed, and he worked hard, he made something of himself and he's given a huge amount back to the local community.
Bottom line really is, despite the childish, and oft-times nasty name calling done by what is absolutely a minority, he's achieved more and has been more successful in his life, having faced more adversity, by himself, on his own, and done far more for HIS local community than any of you ever will.
Being a gob****e isn't an excuse either, but that doesn't seem to stop you lot. Not one of you lot are even close to being his equal, which is why you all make so much noise and imo you should all be ashamed of yourselves. On the bright side, the other people you lot scorn and sneer at see it differently to you, so at least there's some hope.
