They've sold their entire souls just for a few more quid when they're already very wealthy by most people's standards. When they 'represent" an area where many live from hand to mouth.
The merchandise will bring in millions more anyway. The mard arses.
Is Class War still going?
I don't think they have sold their souls. I think they have behaved how 99% of people with their background would have.
I come from Newton Heath and probably have a similar background and upbringing to the Gallaghers (Newton Heath is a lot more destitute than Burnage).
I guarantee that the vast, vast majority of uneducated people, from working class backgrounds, in Manchester, who have grown up with nothing, would have screwed everyone for as much as they can get. Just like the Gallaghers have.
They will sort their mates out and fuck everyone else. I have seen this attitude on a far smaller scale, every single day of my life.
How the Gallaghers have behaved is exactly how I would have expected them to behave. They have not sold out.
They are not middle class, educated intellectuals, like Tony Wilson, who believe in a grand utopia. Wilson died because he could not afford the cancer treatments which may have extended his life. All because of his moral crusade and beliefs. He could have been a very rich man.
The Gallaghers have ensured nothing like that will ever happen to them. I don't blame them for that. They have just taken advantage of the system. It's the system which is wrong and that needs regulating.
Whether you believe how the Gallaghers have behaved is right or wrong, is irrelevant . For me, they have behaved exactly how I would have expected. You can take the boy out of Manchester.
20 years ago, everyone loved the fact that the Gallaghers did not give up a fuck. Now that people have realised that it is not an act and they really do not give a fuck, people are up in arms as the attitude they all loved has now cost them a lot of money.
