Every time I've seen a GP they've said "what can I do for you?"

My reply is always I want something to take three times a day😛

Followed by your GP pulling his knob out ☺

In his blinkered mind he's right. He's every right to express that opinion.

I found his comments rather insensitive, ill-timed and a bit silly fresh after an Islamic terrorist attack on Jewish people where flags and middle aged white blokes had no bearing whatsoever.

He's pretty committed career suicide in the process and will be in the thick of it till it passes.

I think he's a brilliant pundit, great on the overlap and stuff so it'd be a shame it he lost all that because of some ridiculously stupid comments.

Yeah would be shit that

Well, as suspected, Neville's diatribe has been met with hostility by fans of Salford.

Some have reportedly put flags up outside the stadium. 

He's an absolute div.

I am surprised at the amount of snowflakes who want him cancelled

For things he didn't even say too. Utter snowflakes.

It’s snowing union jacks 

The levels of butthurt he’s caused are extraordinary, especially given the New World Order of nobody taking offence at Hurty words.

There’s grown men almost in tears because a footballer said a thing.

 Social media has really turned folk into proper oddballs  😂

It was very poorly timed. To the point where it just sounded odd. Even if there was some points to be made in there,

His career will be absolutely grand though 😄 and the outrage whenever a pundit expresses an opinion vaguely left wing is hilarious.

Given he owns the production company that produces the overlap, I reckon he’ll be reet. 
 

The thing about blokes that are absolutely minted, they don’t give a fuck about what other people think about their opinions.

Yep. Ban religious based education in all of its forms. Would be a step forward.

I know. I have been slipping lately. I have been distracted by the wave of wank from some of the recently liberated ignored.

Time is a great healer. Be patient and it will right itself.

You're only upset because he's right.

 Neville is incorrect and left you div. Add 'contrary' and it's your curriculum vitae.

The thing about champagne socialists similar to Lineker who are absolutely minted; they don’t give a fuck about what other people think about their opinions.

So why put them out there then?

Fair enough. He can say what he wants.

He could've just picked a better time to say it all and I doubt the outrage would've been the same.

Of course hanging of flags is driving up division and being used as a tool make some kind of statement. 

The problem he's forgetting what's causing all that ill-feeling in the first place and will be pretty sheltered in life to see it.

He probably should've said what he said a few weeks ago when it was actually all happening rather than 3 minutes after an Islamic attack.

Certainly feels like we’ve gone backwards.

Aye 

Whole thing reeks of hypocrisy. It’s always themselves who have their speech ‘oppressed’. Yet they go around saying whatever they want with nobody stopping them. 

 Then they’re happy to tell fellow Brits. Who are as British as you or me. That they can’t have any more mosques or go to a faith school. 
 

It’s all a bit odd. Be better to just admit their own selectivity when it comes to free speech

We have. And a huge part is down to social media and algorithms. There's zero accountability for these social media companies pushing all the hate filled bollocks.  Feel something will have to be done about it sharpish but unfortunately i cant see it.

Heard what I thought were normal people spewing hate-filled nonsense recently in real life

Champagne socialist offering thoughts and opinions on an area of society he has no idea about.

Sounds rather familiar.

Daft thing is, his dad used to knock about up the top of Breightmet in his youth, so you'd think some of that knowledge and experience would have been passed down.

Of course NN made a success of himself, and perhaps forgot some of his roots, but GN has always seemed down to earth on the TV.

Interesting that Gerard has now opened up about the golden generation playing for England and not being "together" but bringing club differences into the set up.

Doesn't quite tie in with Gary's assertions about his patriotism being evidenced by his England career, when he (they) essentially couldn't put rivalries aside for the greater good.

 

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

I think it's important to highlight that these are records of perceived hate crimes and not prosecutions or convictions

The definition of a hate crime in this data set is "any criminal offence, which is perceived by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by hostility or prejudice towards someone based on a personal characteristic"

I think it's beyond doubt there will have been a rise in hate crime but, nevertheless, this data is based on subjective interpretation and so isn't as reliable as data based on formal charges/convictions
