Peter Shilton tweeted a bizarre criticism of Jeremy Corbyn and the replies were a delight
Ex-England goalkeeper and pro-Brexiter, Peter Shilton, has criticised Jeremy Corbyn for his behaviour at an England match four years ago. The good folk of Twitter, usually quite a calm and measured lot, were quick to respond…
And here’s our pick of what people had to say in response.
Nowhere near as bad as not paying any attention after about 51 minutes in a World Cup Quarter Final.

So Corbyn was looking at his phone ‘throughout the game’? Presumably you were looking at Corbyn ‘throughout the game’ too? That’s just a bit weird

Corbyn’s firing off texts like “Peter Shilton is staring at me. LOLZ”; “FFS! He’s doing it again!”; “There he goes again! WTF is wrong with him?”; “Right, Shilts has been gauping at me for 75 minutes. Fuck it, I’m off home. This is just bloody weird. Think the guy needs help”

Even George Galloway appeared to be making some kind of sense.
What does it say? That the Leader of the Opposition is a busy man?

Shilts was having none of it.
@georgegalloway Forget politics l support right and wrong and when an idiot who thinks it or right to kill innocent people for an idea and a Labour leader cannot support that with respect you lot need to look at yourselves!!

But last word to this chap, who lifted a few words from a Guardian feature, ‘The 10 worst examples of footballers behaving badly’.
