To be fair, the guy has done a lot of drugs in his life, it:s bound to take its toll.

Man you need to go to spec savers or you is blind drunk

[thesheriff443]

I love Elton John.

[Alf]

I love Elton John.I love his music, but I love him personally as much as he loves a stupid English idiot like me.

It's actually people like Reg Dwight who is shedding his tears in the Guardian, because he lost.

The constant focus on complaining about 'evil remainers' says otherwise. The brexit side have been complaining and whining nonstop since before the referendum.

Crocodile tears?

[Alf]

We don't ask for much in this World, but we expect our democratic vote to be implemented. Was it March we was supposed to leave?

[Crimson Dynamo]

how on earth does one know who the "brexit side" were before the referendum?

:joker:

[Mitchell]

The only cheating with that victory was from the Leave campaign, which would’ve meant the vote would be nullified if it was a legally binding vote x

[Tom4784]

You're not being cheated, did it say on the referendum WHEN we would leave and HOW? No it did not, it simply asked if you wanted to leave.

It's no one's fault but your own for thinking that your expectations are the same as reality. We leave in October, you're not being cheated, you are simply impatient.

[Tom4784]

Crocodile tears?

Probably, we all know how they do like their victim acts in the press.

I cannot quite believe that anyone would try and defend a view that categorises 17 million fellow brits as "stupid, imperialist English idiots'

Whilst people cannot wait to fire the word bigot around right left and center on Tibb here we have a classic case of what a bigot is

and we get people agreeing with him??


:umm2:

:umm2:The ones who shout it the loudest are usually the biggest culprits and use it to hide their own prejudices.

You can't believe someone would defend another person's right to freedom of speech? Sounds about right.

If he said that he didn't consider himself a European idiot, you would not be making out that he was a bigot. Considering that he himself is English then he can't exactly be bigoted against himself. Stop clutching at your pearls when your pretend outrage is ultimately hypocritical.

[Crimson Dynamo]

as I said i cant quite believe anyone would defend a hateful comment as Mr John has made. His less than covert self-loathing is astonishing

[Alf]

I thought you were a big believer in free speech?

[Alf]

I thought you were a big believer in free speech?Where is he trying to stop it?

He just can't believe the double standards. Is what he said.

[Marsh.]

Whose double standards?

[Alf]

Whose double standards?If you read his post, it does say.

The ones defending Reg for his insults to people who voted a certain way in a referendum. That's what I made of his post anyway.

[Marsh.]

Makes no sense. You can defend someone's right to their opinion without agreeing with it.

LT is displaying hypocrisy as he is the one usually defending freedom of speech but apparently doesn't afford the same courtesy to those whose views don't align with his own?

So many snowflakes in this thread

You defend plenty of hateful comments and actions, they just happen to come from people you like. Where was this outrage yesterday when I brought up Trump withdrawing healthcare from a sick child to take revenge on a family member? You clutch your pearls at Elton John calling people idiots but you explain away your fave willingly putting a child's life at risk for revenge? You need to sort out your priorities.

I defend his right to freedom of speech, I don't have to agree with what he said. I like that you're trying the self loathing angle now that the whole 'bigot' angle hasn't worked out so far.

[Livia]

Well he is qualified to say what an idiot is, takes one to know one. I have only four words in reply: sex party super injunction.

[user104658]

calling 50% of the population idiots s going to do wonders for his music sales

That 50% doesn't have time for Elton John on their looping playlist of "God Save The Queen", "Rule Britannia", and "Land of Hope and Glory". Surely.

Plus Scottish Brexiteers already have to find space in the schedule for a rendition of "Billy Boys".

Cue the people suddenly changing their minds about freedom of speech

[Livia]

I uphold his right to free speech. Everyone must be entitled to open their mouth and show us who they are. And when they do we're allowed to comment on it.

Rational people don't care. It's only the gammon that has time to lose their **** over such a nonstory.

[Alf]

What is a gammon, I have an idea, but not totally sure.

I know we're not talking about the food gammon, I know it's some kind of insult.

Who can explain gammon to me?

[Twosugars]

Rational people don't care. It's only the gammon that has time to lose their **** over such a nonstory.

Bc they've been named and shamed by Elton and they don't like it.

This reaction of 'ignoring the people!!!1' and such when another possible ref comes up is rather amusing, especially when its done/started by farage, given he (and his fans) were already crowing about another referendum when they didn't think it would go their way before the votes were confirmed.. When it turned out they had won narrowly, suddenly its an awful awful thing to say..well..nothing in it despite him laying the groundworks for that exact reaction himself...

I had someone fall out with me on FB the other day because I gave the quote from my sig as a reply to someone kicking off about Brexit, they started kicking off even more..saying 'bloody remoaners' and such. So of course, I told them it was Farage, not a remainer (though I would argue that farage wants attention, not to leave because basically..leaving means he loses his gravy chain. BUT, he has to keep his profile up at the same time. Walking a bit of a tightrope!), they didn't believe me, put links, they said the links were left wing nonsense :rolleyes: Because yeah, the telegraph is definitely left..total denial. Then saw him going off on one again about the same damn thing that he had just ran away from :laugh:

As for the topic, Eltnon John is a pompous arse.
