He and his supporters don't care - as far as they're concerned, all pop musicians are drugged up and pampered millionaires with their heads in the clouds and no idea about the real world (except Cliff. Cliff's alright). They have their preconceived ideas, and no amount of reality is going to stop them. Indeed, they'd probably just sneer at you for trying.

This is the problem with either thinking or even just portraying that you know everything - you end up incapable of actually learning anything (see "...tired of experts").

Tired of experts?......................because they always prove you wrong

Oh my. It’s hard to know what they’re all feeling defeated about.

I assume what he actually means is Labour are going win the next general election.

[Rosvanian]

Not being a Telegraph reader, I was unaware of this bloke until recently. He's some piece of work, isn't he.

Heath appears to be terrified of the thought that the country is going to be run by people who can feel empathy, who have a sense of duty, who dislike inequality and unfairness. Who, gasp, would treat him decently.

Yeah. Best stop 'em now before they can make this country a nice place to live.

[Watchman]

But he doesn’t want to be treated fairly and decently…….he wants to be treated as superior

[Bones McCoy]

Heath's recent hits include

Of Kwasi Kwarteng’s catastrophic, career-ending handiwork, Heath wrote that it was “the best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver, by a massive margin”.

“His premiership is ending in disaster, but I don’t regret backing Boris in 2019,”

“Liz Truss is winning [the leadership election] because she promises to fight the failed groupthink ruining Britain” and, barely a year ago,

“Keir Starmer is running out of time to prove Labour has any point at all”.

You don't have to be batshit to work at the Telegraph, but you'll be cleaning the khazi if you aren't.

Fuck a Duck. He literally knows nothing. He’s been to Kosovo to meet Albanians.

[Andy McDandy]

I'd be surprised if he's had any more contact than watching Taken and wanking over a Rita Ora picture.

"The cunt's cunt of choice"

The cunt field is a massively overcrowded one these days, with all of the cunts yelling to be heard over all the other cunts. Old Jim though, he's been a cunt for nigh on 50 years. Imagine the amount of hate that has poured out of this man's mouth during that time? (who me? he says).

[Abernathy]

I'd be surprised if he's had any more contact than watching Taken and wanking over a Rita Ora picture.

Are there many Albanians in Kosovo?

[soulboy]

The shameless shilling of his DVDs at the end was lovely. I appreciate that we have lovers of vintage tech on this forum, and I am a self-professed vinyl addict, but who is both buying Jim's bawdy pantos on a dead format and knows how to use an e-commerce platform?

Meanwhile, back in Romania and a certain Mr. Tate is in a lot of potential doo-doo - he's looking at potentially up to 10 years in prison...

Romanian authorities change human trafficking charge against Andrew Tate

Prosecutors say social media influencer being investigated for more serious crime of ‘human trafficking in continued form’

Romanian prosecutors say they have changed a human trafficking charge against the social media influencer Andrew Tate to a more serious one.

Tate, his brother Tristan and two other suspects were now being investigated for human trafficking in continued form, according to prosecutors, who said it was a more serious crime than separate counts of trafficking.

The Tate brothers and two Romanian women, Georgiana Naghel and Luana Radu, are under house arrest pending a criminal investigation for suspected human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, accusations they have denied.

Under Romanian legislation, prosecutors have filed charges against the four suspects, but the case is under investigation and has not yet gone to trial. Prosecutors are expected to commit them for trial later in June.

Are there many Albanians in Kosovo?

Albanian is an ethnicity as well as a nationality. The language is, like Finnish or Basque, unrelated to other European tongues. The culture and heritage are distinct - distinct enough to be used as excuses for racial and social persecution for centuries. Being Muslim in the otherwise Orthodox Christian Balkans is an otherwise differentiating factor too.

Ultimately, be they in downtown Tirana, Kosovo, playing for the Swiss football team, or copping off with Tessa Thompson*, plenty of people identify as Albanian regardless of place of birth or current location.

*Actress best known perhaps as Valkyrie from the Thor films, and as the partner of the titular character in the recent "Creed" films, continuing the "Rocky" boxing saga. Was photographed getting very jiggy with Ora and her partner, the film director Taika Waititi. The lucky fucking bastard.

[Killer Whale]

Minor correction: Albanian is indeed Indo-European, but only very distantly related to other living languages.

[Abernathy]

Notwithstanding Andy's informative ethnicity lesson, I very much doubt that Mr. Davidson was visiting Kosovo to meet with an enclave of ethnic Albanians.
