Joey’s in bother again

[Ziggy Stardust]

Any rational human being would be able to string a couple of sentences together to comment on Elukos inadequacys as a pundit. This is not a free speech issue or about left and right. It's about common decency and Barton obviously doesn't have any, if he ever had. The guy is a bellend and if you can't see that then I think that reflects on you.

[pureclaret]

Surely you don't believe anything she says. She's the epitome of narcissism

you are a complet dick

[pureclaret]

That's all well and good. Its about your opinion on Joey Barton though, whereas I was posing the question as to whether there is any useful synonym for the word 'woke'.

Oh sorry , then yes i have a word for you ''Enlightened''
Not quite the same feel or sound of saying he or she is a woke activist, to say he or she is ''Enlightened'' almost sounds they are more likley to be right lol

[Shaggy]

Weren’t people arguing that you should be free to say what ever you like on another thread? Or is that only views which match their own perhaps?

[Bordeauxclaret]

No, nobody was arguing that.

They can say it. They can also be criticised for it, ostracised for it, etc.

Freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences.

The freedom of speach is right to do but as soon as you speak out against people or individuals that is hurtful , even if it is the truth leaves you open to at least moral justice, and why would some one want to say hurtfull things when they them selves have not been targeted. Why?????

Why would you want to call someone a dick?

Probably not the best post you could have posted when you consider what you are complaining about

[pureclaret]

Was meaning the poster not Eni Aluko, I have extrem views on **** who call and abuse woman, I agree that as a pundit shes not my fisrt choice, but got to say Id be hard prest to decide if id prefer her or Dany Murphy.

Im not a woke activist but Im aware that you should get a job on merit not on gender, colour , or religion or anything else that make syou different as long as what you do and believe in does not hurt others.

I have a wife 3 daughters 3 grandaughters 3 daughters in law 2 sons and to grandsons, some are in a same sex realashionship and one couple who dont use he /she, extra. So perhaps I can be a bit touchy over the comments of JB and others.
I want them all to have equalaty in life and work, and unfrotuantly dicks like JB make it harder.
The world is different and we need to be suportive of the changes

Won’t see Barton working there then this side of Christmas

[Loyalclaret]

Check out his latest tweets

[South West Claret.]

File him under ex pro footballer drifts further downhill.

Remember when ex footballers went and got proper jobs when they retired?

[South West Claret.]

Remember when ex footballers went and got proper jobs when they retired?

Yes I remember that in the sixties most of our championship players had jobs outside football as well as playing full time for Burnley.

[claretlegend]

Loved him while he was with us, but what a plonker he's being on Twitter lately. Really spoilt himself.

[DanH90]

Far more respect for Blackburn Rovers’ Twitter account than that waste of space.

I’m mortified I ever enjoyed him playing for us, as far as I’m concerned him ever wearing our shirt should we wiped from the history books.

Just another populist trying to cause division in society for his own gain.

Pond ****.

[South West Claret.]

Yes he’s a right plonker and no mistake

[Rowls]

Haven't seen the guff he's been posting recently first hand but this is a return to form for Joey and most welcome.

[Bordeauxclaret]

He’ll be furious if he’s got the Brighton Wolves game on.
Co-commentator has called Jason Steele “Luke Steele” at least three times now.

[bobinho]

He’s a scouser. Is anyone really surprised at what he does or what he says?

If it wasn’t for the fact he was really good at football, he would’ve been in jail a long long time ago….

What’s being a scouser got to do with it ?
He’s just a bigoted knob….and as we well know they can be born anywhere.

Not sure I agree with this bit of your statement.

With respect, get a grip.

[IanMcL]

I true Claret!

[claret2018]

This was always going to be the direction he was going in when he started courting the right wing/incel crowd on Twitter, presumably for a podcast or something.

He’s trying to get some of that Andrew Tate fan money

[DanH90]

I’m the one told to get a grip. If you agree with the blatantly racist tripe he’s put on social media today then it sums you up.

Man’s a disgrace.

The answer is don't get involved in it. I don't give a monkey's either way what he does or what he says because I don't put myself in that position.

Yes file with those other waste of space Scousers called the Beatles. They didn't much did they!!!

[NewClaret]

Not really been following Joey’s content but that’s a funny tweet. 1 in 10 & plucking chickens

Full credit to him, he managed to juggle a football career with a bit of stir.

If you think he meant that then you're even thicker than your original post suggests.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Let’s be honest Barton just has the balls to say what lots are thinking but too scared to do in case they get cancelled.

Regardless of what side of the fence you sit on, he hasn’t half riled up the Blackburn lot today and I’m all for that haha.

[distortiondave]

Just so I'm clear, you are 'mortified' that Joey Barton ever played for us, and his name should be wiped from the history books of Burnley FC?

ICUMI, populist claptrap also looks like this;

Some serious reaching there.

Which post is blatantly racist? Has he deleted something

I have no idea.

More taking objection to - "if you agree with the blatantly racist tripe he’s put on social media today then it sums you up."

Serious reach

You missed the stuff about Muslims praying on the pitch?

[Newcastleclaret93]

Isn’t he just saying the Blackburn moderator is a Muslim and that’s why they don’t like him?

Or is there something else?

[Big Vinny K]

“Let’s be honest” ???

Really ? You think you speak on behalf of lots of people do you ?
The fact that you are saying this suggests that you agree with his views so why don’t you “have the balls” to just say that ?

Barton’s nothing more than a thick thug - has been for most of his life. From what I have seen on Twitter that’s what most people think of him….and not the spokesman for the majority you are suggesting

[aggi]

For context, this was in response to Barton's suggestion that you can only count yourself as English if your ancestor fought in World War I.

[Swizzlestick]

Must count as one of Dyche's greatest achievements keeping this bigoted thug on the straight and narrow.

[timshorts]

Does he stipulate for which team? And if he means the British team, is that restricted to the canon fodder, or the types that sent them into that battle in the first place? As history reflects, it is easier to have respect for the German canon fodder in ww1 than the British leaders who consigned their own players to death for not an awful lot.

[chipbutty]

If you've read his autobiography that's literally the first chapter

[claptrappers_union]

I muted him on Twitter. So I checked in to see what he’s up to. He’s heading to towards going full Tommy Robinson, you never go full Tommy Robinson.

His retweets, likes, views and followers have all increased since he has started being vocal. To me that suggests a lot of people agree with his views.

For the record I have not once even suggested I agree with his views. I have also not said a majority agree with his views. I personally think he’s over the top on a lot of points especially around Covid jabs etc…

Please read the post before going off on a tirade.

[Alan Young]

A shame to see him go down this road. He’s pretty much following the template set by his hero, Morrissey.

He’s always craved attention and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the cynical start of his next career move. Either in right wing politics or media.

Difficult to understand how somebody who’s been so successful in his life can still be full of hate and resentment.

He doesn't have hate or resentment, he's simply rejecting the changes in our society and prefers continuity for our people...it's a view shared by the majority of the planet.

We've created a society that is increasingly afraid of its own shadow but he's made his money and says what the hell he wants without the fear of negative financial consequences. When he made comments about the demographic changes in Blackburn he's regarded as right-wing, full of hate, resentment, racist etc. but it's noticeable nobody called him a liar.
