Fighting Talk
‘AFTER the dignified behaviour of the Liverpool fans on Tuesday night, it is a shame to open the papers today and find that the ugly side of Anfield is still with us.
| ”Gho-o-o-ul” |
Both the Mail and the Express print pictures of a grown man, old enough to know better, jabbing his finger in fury as his face contorts into a grotesque mask of hatred.
And readers will have no trouble recognising him as celebrity Reds fan Michael Howard, star of the recent fly-on-the-wall documentary in which he was seen performing his trademark celebration waving his arms in the air and crying: What a tremendous gho-o-o-ul!
Todays papers show the other face of Howard the snarling bully looking for a fight. And yesterday his victim was the PM.
COMMONS BRUISING, crows the Express caption to a picture of the Tories top boys: Michael Howard was cheered by MPs as he delivered a mauling to Tony Blair at Prime Ministers Questions yesterday.
All this is a long way from the Compassionate Conservatism and inclusive values that we are told about.
The Express runs a large picture of Howards victim underneath, with the pointed headline: Why does he wear so much make-up? Which, translated, means: The little sissy was asking for it.
We fear that if this sort of thing continues for much longer, itll end in tears…
