Just looked on the daily fail on line and the comments section was a sight to behold. Talk about the vermin being unashamed.

As an aside God Save the Queens, is a moribund turgid boring load of old shite. Britains National Anthem should be the Jams Down in the tube station at midnight. That would get them revved up!

Freedom of Expression
Parts of the media are reporting on the rights to freedom of expression in the context of booing at the FA Cup Final during `Abide with Me` and whilst the National Anthem was being sung. It has since been escalated by some MPs. The public face of Liverpool FC, their coach / manager, called their supporters "wonderful people".
Regardless of opinions on either side, once again the facts are that when things go wrong, and sometimes badly, these wonderful people are either inside or outside the stadium on too many occasions for it just to be coincidence. Even in celebration of a Premier League trophy, it somehow went wrong in the town centre of Liverpool.
When a respected journalist of many years standing wrote that these same people “frightened the living daylights” out of him -

he was hounded out of his job and eventually paid off. It was felt that this was because what he wrote was recognised and understood by so many others who felt gagged by the media and political might that Liverpool leverage.
It seems that freedom of expression only works one way.

Booing the National Anthem and Prince Wiliam is a childish gesture whatever your political views. Booing Abide with Me is just totally ridiculous. What the fuck is the matter with these people? LFC fans have become some sort of social media cult. Can't they think for themselves?Offended by everything and shamed by nothing.
I’d assumed they were siding with Harry and Meghan and were simply expressing their displeasure at some of the issues raised in Oprah’s interview.

Manchester(United)evening news running an article by Rooney claiming our 3-2 win v QPR was questionable and should be looked into.
Hope our lawyers are all over this.
Its so laughable, esp given what the Rags have had inc that season with dodgy penalties galore, Oliver bottling a Fulham penalty v them, Young diving v Villa for a penalty and sending off etc etc etc. Nice to know he is hurting still from that day 10 years on

I actually think this is soooooo funny, maybe Wazza can get Rio to speak to his brother Anton who played for QPR that day, “hey Wio, did your Anton and his mates cheat to let City win the title?”Manchester(United)evening news running an article by Rooney claiming our 3-2 win v QPR was questionable and should be looked into.

I disagree. The narrative from the media is "anyone with a global following of cretinous, vacuous mugs that we can shamelessly monetise". If we met this criteria, they would love us. We don't. They don't.Whether they like it or not the narrative from the media is loud and clear "please, anyone but Man City"
