Aston Villa Women - Eni Aluko

[littleoldme]

I'm only a simple working man,i retire in September,currently furloughed,what a waste of air i have been for all these year's(started work on my 16th birthday),so happy to have my failing's pointed out to me by such a thoughtful,kind,and considerate fellow human being.

It speak volumes that when she comments on the situation, she punches downwards, lazy workers, benefit cheats, do nothing culture etc.
She doesn't go after the big corporations, corruption, tax evasion, tax avoidance, doesn't go after landlords insisting rents are paid regardless of whether buisnesses are operational or not.
She doesn't think "I've done ok I will look out for others" she thinks "I've done ok so there's no excuse for anyone else to do the same"
And when she's challenged she throws a tantrum.
Sounds like a bloody horrible human being to be honest.

It was possible, it isn't now. The Conservatives are a Far Right party now. If in doubt, look at who they are aligned with in their Brexit ideology. No moderate favours a No Deal scenario that now seems inevitable.

It's hard for some to accept that the ideology they favor has been twisted and corrupted and the party into the abomination it is right now.

I knew she was a tory from a few years back but she'd done a good job of not allowing her politics to define her but this is just stupid and I'm very disappointed that she did it with the clubs name all over her profile.

It’s not about Tory or Labour. It’s uneducated at best or just plain nasty. Both left and right are more than capable of both.

Spot on. Without getting too political it is possible to vote Tory and not be some extreme right winger or have no heart/social conscience. I'm not saying Aluko fits into this description but using reference to her simply as a Tory is unfair on people who vote that way in my view. There are ill educated and dangerous people on both sides of the spectrum, mainly the far ends of them.

I don't disagree and I never said anything that suggests I would. I simply posted that these comments were highly political and fit perfectly with the view of a huge number of tories right now.

I wonder what Eni thinks of the Investment Banker Terrorists who crashed our economy in 2007/8.

I'm guessing that laying waste an economic system counts as 'working' in her world-view, so they'll probably gat a free pass.

[Somniloquism]

It was Labour in charge so all their fault for letting it happen. You would never catch a Tory government propping up failing businesses.....

[dcdavecollett]

Too right, mate!

Her attitude seems to echo the opinions of those compassionate, intellectual heavyweights Dominic Raab, Piriti Patel, Kwasi Kwarteng, Chris Skidmore and - not forgetting - Liz Truss in their 2012 book: “Brittania Unchained” which derides British workers as “among the worst idlers in the world” (“We work among the lowest hours, we retire early and our productivity is poor. Whereas Indian children aspire to be doctors or businessmen, the British are more interested in football and pop music.”) The UK, it declared, should “stop indulging in irrelevant debates about sharing the pie between manufacturing and services, the north and the south, women and men”. 

I'm sure working people in Britain who don't have 'interesting' tax arrangements in Bermuda, Panama or Cayman, but voted Tory were pleased to be made aware of these opinions in the Murdoch/Mail newspapers?

She's been tweeting again today.

Apparently her family have been getting racist abuse which is obviously bang out of order.

However, rather than report it to the police and keep schtum she decided the best course of action was to go on the offensive on Twitter to say that it's tough shit if people are offended because she's already apologised and if you don't like what she has to say you know where the unfollow button is.

Her attitude throughout this has been horrendous and if the club told her to do one I wouldn't be at all sorry to see her go.

[Somniloquism]

The club might have done that already being as she has removed AVFCWomen from her bio. She deserves to be criticised on her stance and her politics. Why on earth do arseholes need to go down the racial route though apparently.

[ColinMac]

She's still completely unrepentant, "if you remain offended, it's your choice, I can't help you" apparently she apologised.
Also she wants criticising Brits apparently, or all people on being furloughed.
Abuse is awful and terrible. But her comments were also appalling.
She doesn't get the moral high ground here.. what she said was disgusting, what's she's said today equally stupid and the racist abuse she has received is abhorrant.
But she doesn't get to wipe away what she said.

Exactly.  What she's done is express a political opinion, and then doubled down on it.  It's an opinion I couldn't agree less with but the racial abuse she's got in response is a whole other level of shit.

100% correct.

[nigel]

She's expressed an opinion that some of you, me included, don't agree with.

However, I do know a few guys, on a trade forum, who are, either, getting furlough, claiming grants etc and saying they want this to go one for as long as possible because they're rolling in money now.

She, probably, realises the error she's made. So maybe we should just draw a line under it and leave it now?

Slightly different situation, I know, but, Vil I an is getting hammered for 'Not letting go' on the Jack Grealish thread

What so getting 80% of the money you used to get is rolling in it? I smell bullshit.
