Strangely enough, I'm still getting a lot of traffic from people googling to see whether or not Gary Neville is a socialist. Who would have thought that a piss poor Frank Skinner joke could penetrate so deeply into the English footballing psyche . . . again?
To clear the matter up once and for all, Gary Neville has never been to a business meeting of the Manchester branch of the SPGB. However, that might be because the branch have their meetings on a Monday night and, as everyone knows, Sky always insist that Man Utd play their games on a Monday. You draw your own conclusions . . .
repeating talking points can hardly come as a shock tho can it??

Nah, I can confirm that Neville was not and never has been a member of the SPGB. But the NCP on the other hand ....
ReplyDeleteI wasn't going to mention that Reidski, but since you brought it up, do you think there is any truth in the rumour that his brother Phil is a member of the RCP-ML?
ReplyDeleteI understand that was the reason he transferred to Everton last year. He was under instruction from his Central Committee to try and revive Alexei Sayle's old branch.
