Good reason to never go to any of his pubs for a drink - Tory gobshite who probably treats his employees badly anyway
Dear Mike, you're a tory. The tories sold off everything of value that they could, for a pittance, to their mates. They left an empty husk. You voted for them. We are all reaping what tories have sown.

Watched Gladiator II yesterday and still puzzling how the Romans got the sharks out of the water in the colosseum after the sea battle re-enactments? Maybe pulled the plug and let it drain and a slave had to dispose of the shark?
