Yeah, two previous 'outsiders' or anti-Establishment figures who were often brilliantly witty and entertaining, but who have become increasingly obnoxious and offensive, and will say anything to court controversy and remind us of their existence: Lydon endorsing Donald Trump as some kind of...
"Guns don't kill people, 6-year olds kill people (with guns)".
The Republicans still won't countenance any restrictions on gun ownership, though, even though they always claim that their opposition to abortion is because "All human life is sacred.". Yeah, except when it is innocent people being...
He did, but that was a different era, when those who ran football clubs and/or their fans did not demand instant success having spent £ billions trying to buy it.
It's part of modern culture, sadly:

The worst tribalism I have seen in recent years has been from steadfast Tory voters who simply will not accept or acknowledge any mistakes or dishonesty from Conservative governments and Prime Ministers. No matter how cruel, incompetent, corrupt, deceitful, duplicitous and dishonest recent...
Won't be long before the first lurid, sensationalist, headlines: "My dear old mum died because there were no nurses to change her bed-pan" or "Cruel nurses laugh on picket lines while hard-working taxpaying patients die in agony in hospital corridors."
