A-LIST CASE STUDY NO.1: GARY NEVILLE

-

IN RECENT YEARS, former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has become one of the Woke Mob’s loudest critics of our green and pleasant government.

Capitalisi­ng on his vast social media profile, Sky pundit Neville regularly tweets his displeasur­e about Conservati­ve Party policy, and he was among the many snowflake celebs to express ‘horror’ about Tory officials harmlessly humiliatin­g their cleaners. But how ‘clean’ is Gary’s own record when it comes to treatment of janitorial staff?

I aim to find out...

Arriving at Sky Sports’ London HQ, I sneak past security and cunningly Taser a member of the cleaning staff. I dump his unconsciou­s body in a broom cupboard and re-emerge wearing his yellow overalls. With my mop and bucket, I begin splashing bleach all over the lobby floor, whistling tunelessly to complete my transforma­tion. It isn’t long until I see former Red Devil Neville entering the building.

Knowing that he hails from Greater Manchester, I adopt a thick workingcla­ss ‘Oop North’ brogue, giving the Old Trafford fave a cheery nod and wink as he approaches. “Ayup, Mr Neville, sir!” I chirp, tugging hard at my forelock. “’Appen it’s reet champion t’ si’ thee, an’ naw mistek!”

A rictus grin spreads across Neville’s face. The multi-millionair­e footy ace is clearly FUMING at having to stop and interact with a lowly cleaner. “Good morning!” he seethes. “I don’t think we’ve met yet – I’m Gary. What’s your name?”

Unbelievab­le. The sanctimoni­ous snowflake was first in line to criticise the ‘rude’ treatment of cleaning staff by Tory bigwigs – yet I’ve been on the Sky janitorial team nearly

SIX MINUTES, and this ivory-tower-dwelling arsehole hasn’t even BOTHERED to learn my name. To Neville, us low-wage grifters are simply interchang­eable drones: subhuman ‘worker bees’ who are paid a pittance to wallow in his filth.

I quickly invent a pseudonym and the ex-England right-back shakes my hand. “It’s great to meet you,” he lies through his left-wing teeth. “And thanks so much for everything you do,” he adds, almost certainly making a mental note to wash his hands at some point during the day after touching mine.

I am so utterly gobsmacked by this barrage of woke hypocrisy that I fail to spot the reappearan­ce of the cleaner I Tasered earlier. He has apparently regained consciousn­ess and is marching towards me with a face like thunder, flanked by a pair of iratelooki­ng security guards. As my overalls are ripped off and I am brutally manhandled towards the exit, I appeal to ‘Man Of The People’ Neville for assistance. Surely this pleb-loving do-gooder will be there for the common man in his hour of need?

“Eeh, can tha do owt t’elp me, Mr Neville, sir?” I bleat, pathetical­ly. “I’ve got bairns t’ feed!” But rather than rushing to my aid, two-faced Gary simply feigns confusion, and as I am hurled through the revolving doors in my vest and pants, he barely even deigns to look at me. He made a grand show of pretending we were equals, but when push comes to shove this stuck-up snob considers my kind too far beneath him to bother with.

Neville was one of England’s finest defenders. But when it came to defending the country’s low-income workers, he dropped the ball.
