SIR GUESTLING THORN

Today I am going to avoid writing about  you know who and try to write about something else.

I am a West Ham fan, have been since I was a kid, I am also a cat lover and have had cats for all of my 42 years of married life. We have two now and although they, like all cats, can be a pain in the arse, we love them. What  Kurt Zouma did is unforgivable and as far as I am concerned he should never play for the club again, no matter how much he has been fined or how good a player he is. The fact that he did what he did is bad enough but to then think it was fun to post it was just madness! There is enough animal cruelty going on, you only have to watch the constant adverts on TV. I’m afraid West Ham have seriously misjudged the mood of the public on this one and probably their own supporters. We are a nation of animal lovers and whilst we have some hypocritical anomalies, we do react well to animals being mistreated! I hope they see sense and terminate his contract, two weeks wages are nothing to a highly paid premier league footballer. Let’s hope charges are brought against him?

I am surprised that enough momentum has not been gathering, by the losing but still very large proportion of voters who were not in favour of exiting the EU, to drum up support for our eventual re-entry? There is no doubt that this was a huge mistake and whatever you think of the EU we were always better within than without. So why are we not campaigning to reverse this stupid decision and start to point out the benefits of rejoining sometime in the future as inevitably we will have to? If you know of any real benefit we have gained from leaving then please let me know because I don’t know of any? We have lost our way and now we are languishing on the periphery of international events, still believing we have influence and that others still listen to what we have to say! Other countries pay lip service to our efforts because naturally they want to continue importing to us or garner support from us. We are a collective bunch of fools lead by idiots and liars!

Stay well
