Barton in nightclub brawl

[maverick69]

More worringly why is he in a poofs club?

Probably because he thought he'd get less aggro in there!

Surprised that you ask. People are quick to lable people incorrectly even with information in the public domain. Others comment on what they know and cant go into detail, is my view therefore any less relevant?

no your right..your view is just as relevant with what you know.

Well starting with interviews in Newspapers last year such as the Sunday People about working class people so they are checkable. Dont be quick to lable people, particulary someone as mixed up as Joey Barton. His stated public utterances and those he holds privately do not make him a leftie, I am not sure whether he really knows, he appears to be anti anything he is not or was.

As for his personal views that have been expressed in private business that is where they will stay, because as much as I dislike them he has a right for them to stay that way. I will leave breaching business confidences to others.

That's never going to happen in reality though - people will always do it, and I certainly wasn't trying to label him disparagingly. Ultimately we all build up a picture of public figures based on a mixture of personal perception and what we read, see and hear of them. All I was saying is, based on all the many interviews I've read and seen him do, that he at least comes across (whether intentionally or not) as having left-of-centre politics - hardly a criticism or for that matter, anything to be particularly ashamed of.

Where I agree with you is that he is quite a mixed up and complex character (or "strange" as he describes himself as) and therefore his opinions on things will often be unpredictable and erratic.

he's a looney.100 years ago he would have shared a padded cell with one of the royal family.
