#GaryNeville upsets the tossers
Gary Neville: he shot to prominence as a political pundit when he criticised Boris Johnson’s government during the commentary on a Euro 2020 football match.
Former England football star Gary Neville has been subjected to a dogpile on Twitter after he blasted Boris Johnson’s leadership.
In a series of tweets commenting on the Partygate scandal and the way institutions including the Metropolitan Police seem to be trying to defend him, Neville accused Johnson of reducing the UK to a new low point:
The Met Police ( yes the police ) is investigating the highest office in this country . Is that not enough for @Conservatives to deal with this and restore a resemblance of decency and normality. Send your damn letters now or you’re all complicit. He’s taking you all down!

This 👇 👇👇👇👇! The Met police have ignored No10 for months and have appeared just at the point the Sue Gray report was going to be issued to finish him off! https://t.co/43JuOcm90G

The Sue Gray report would have finished him this week! He knew that and needed it kicking into the long grass!

He’s been briefed the reports a disaster , it finishes him off , he’s not willing to let go, he’s doing everything he can to kick it down the road and stay in power. I never thought our country could be as bad as it is right now!

This seems to have upset supporters of Johnson (yes, it seems they do still exist), who started posting hate about him under the hashtag #GaryNevilleIsATosser.
It has backfired on them – badly.
Supporters of Mr Neville (and/or opponents of Johnson) realised what was happening and leapt to defend the former Manchester United player. And their comments were searing:

All the Unseasoned people crying about Gary Neville’s political commentary saying he should “stick to football” whilst tweeting about politics themselves I guess you should stick to painting and decorating or whatever you do for as a career then? 🤡 #GaryNevilleIsATosser

I see #GaryNevilleIsATosser is being promoted by the Union flag touting rabid dogs of the right. Ironically, this country has failed them, not having provided them with a decent education. Shameful really.

Tories afraid of any truth teller with a platform – aka Gary Neville. Tories managed to get #GaryNevilleIsATosser trending but #GaryNevilleIsAHero should be trending. How about it? Do you agree that ##GaryNevilleIsAHero https://t.co/tq1oK2EufJ

It’s a lesson for the hard-right headbangers: your knee-jerk disparagement of anyone who disagrees with you doesn’t impress anybody.
Gary Neville impresses them, though. And here’s the reason:
#GaryNevilleIsATosser trending. Socialism doesn't mean not being able to build wealth. He pays a fortune in taxes and who knows what else he does with his money.
He knows he's in a position of privilege so uses it promote equality. More wealthy people should be like him. @GNev2— Paul Husband (@PaulHusband_) January 29, 2022
