Is Gary Neville actually a Tory?

[johnofgwent]

I like gary. Nice but dim , and rather grim. Everytime he tweets something about the tories and has a manc moan , labour lose another voter.

The poor people in northern england being lectured about brexit from a multi millionaire champagne labour socialist never goes down well  , but you can't tell him.

Does make you wonder about the veracity of the headline in this rag , is gary indeed a tory and a secret weapon for those that hate labour? I do honestly sometimes wonder .

I don't know, Thomas, the Labour party has a long history of attracting champagne socialists. I think the poor bugger has enough on his plate without being accused of voting for the Berk with the Hair

As your own post points out, he is now part owner of Salford FC.

That should be quite handy in reducing his disposable income.

And there's nothing wrong in pouring dosh into a football club. Well, there never used to be. I recall several rather well off chaps in the music business doing this. But that was in the days before Sky corrupted everything

Been crying reading this about labours newest multi millionaire champagne socialist . They still dont understand where they are going wrong.




If you judge a man on what he does and not just what he says, then it seems obvious multimillionaire Labour activist Gary Neville is in reality a Tory.

'I'm not a socialist, I'm a capitalist,' the former Manchester United defender turned Sky Sports commentator and plutocrat businessman told the world on Instagram this week. 'I believe in entrepreneurialism. I believe in companies making profit. I believe in lower taxes. And I also believe that distribution of profit should be spread amongst us.'

It goes without saying, these are sentiments with which Margaret Thatcher herself would have nodded in ecstatic assent – particularly when uttered from the lips of a working-class boy done good from the north of England.
Last year, Gary, who voted for Jeremy Corbyn at the 2019 election and at the start of this year officially joined the Labour party, told the Times: 'I believe in private education. I was state-educated, but my two children now go to private school... Yes, I travel first class on the train. I'm not going to apologise.'
Certainly, the 47 year-old does not seem to possess a natural affinity for the left's foundational desire for the proletariat to seize from private ownership the means of production and distribution.
In fact, Gary has profited massively over decades by doing exactly the opposite, working first as a player and now as a presenter for privately-owned organisations that have done so much to price working class football fans out of their beloved sport.
Companies House records show that his businesses have assets in the region of £70 million. He has interests in a hotel, an estate agency, restaurants and a media production company. He is also part owner of a loss-making football team – Salford FC – that has required millions in funding simply to stay afloat.
It's easy to understand, perhaps, why Gary wants to be seen as part of the left, even if it sometimes grates to hear him attacking 'elites' he is far wealthier than.
