    Absolutely disgusting that Neville was allowed to have his anti government rant during ITV's coverage of the World Cup final.

    His bonkers comparison that our nurses work under the same conditions as the poor folk who constructed the stadiums in Qatar is breathtaking in its nonsense.

    Another champagne socialist who spouts total bollocks.

    I trust ITV will now sack him,

    I'm for football pundits sticking to commenting on the game not for spouting their warped political views

    The TV channels and media have spent a good amount of time talking about conditions in Qatar throughout the world cup.
    The BBC did a 30min segment on it prior to one game.

    No issue with that. But for Neville to have an anti Conservative rant and comparing our nurses working conditions to those of the construction workers in Qatar is utter nonsense.

    Neville and Lineker have form for it and it's time they were carpeted for it

    From what I saw Neville was saying we can't point the figure at workers rights in one country whilst ignoring the issue in our own. You only have to look at the front page of the scum to see how some people fighting for their rights are being totally demonised by a newspaper who sat on it's hands knowing the goings on inside downing street during the pandemic because their deputy editor was actually at No10 at that time.

    The world cup final is not the programme for a pundit to spout biased one sided political views, which are false anyhow.

    He should apply to go on Question Time where he can be challenged on the correct programme.

    That's right, should he be up for either election as an MP for his beloved socialist party or even as Mayor of Manchester then yes he could carry on with the bilge that he comes out with, but it's the point that he and his ilk are corrupting sport with their political woke views thereby alienating at least half of his audience ...

    He said he was going to do this on Have I got news for you, when they questioned him about it.

    Even Roy Keane has gone on record during this world cup to say it shouldn't have been held there.

    I know the Daily Mail sees this as the biggest issue of the day and have dedicated most of their front page to it, but vast majority of normal people aren't trying to silence him or call for him to lose his job, after all aren't you against Cancel Culture?

    The issue people have with Neville has nothing to do with discussing the rights and wrongs of whether Qatar should have held the World Cup.

    The issue is Neville using this showpiece match to have his anti government rant.

    Good to see that you have taken time out to read a decent newspaper's view on this too!

    Yes. It’s Gary Neville who is the real problem here.

    clearly what he said has cut deep with the resident crazies. When the truth is so apparent it hurts so they react like this in an effort to shut up the noise.

    I personally love to see it. Just shows how out of touch the whole tory party and their barnacle like supporters are.

    Neville wasn't telling the truth though was he.

    Our nurses and rail workers are not treated as bad as migrant workers who constructed the stadiums in Qatar. If you think that, then It would appear that you are crazy not me.

    The other point in all this is it didnt stop Neville and Lineker profiting handsomely financially for working out there.

    Are you purposefully twisting the truth or is it a lack of braincells that you possess?

    He didnt say it was as bad. He said we cant ignore our own issues whilst popping off about other countries.

    What he said was truthful and it was also very relevant to the situation. Qatar WC has been singlehandedly about the issue of corruption and workers rights. It was like that prior to the WC and was like that during. Its not as though it came out of nowhere.

    Its interesting that you get so mad about his statement and how you can be so against nurses being paid well. You swallow everything that the tory party spit out even if its against popular opinion and unjustifiable morals. Cant you think for yourself? or are you just a bad person?

    Not just me though is it? quite the opposite.

    You have ridden the coattails of brexit and tory power for so long you think youre on the right side of history.

    Good luck with that.

    Where have I said I am against nurses been paid well. I suggest you are the one twisting things.

    By the way, you know nothing about me to suggest there is anything wrong with my brain cells.
