it wouldn't have anything like the same pickup. In fact, it probably wouldn't even be suggested. People have realized these are vacuous, meaningless things. And at the moment that needle on the clock got to midnight, in came the Instagram influencers with all their topless bikini slaps. It's like, whatever. They couldn't wait. They were itching, itching. Get me off this black square.

It's killing my business, right? Yeah. And so to me, it was just vacuous, virtue signaling, the worst kind. It doesn't help anybody. But this kind of, on the back of it, the kind of bullying that goes on, to bully people into going along with the herd, it's got to stop. It's like the take him and leave thing. I was completely in support of that.

But I didn't think people should be compelled to do it. You know, it's a very interesting case in British football. There's a Northern Irish footballer called McLean who comes from a little part of Northern Ireland in Derry where Bloody Sunday happened, where literally people in his street were killed by British paratroopers in one of the worst incidents of the Troubles.

And the British troops that day behaved appallingly. And he doesn't want to wear a poppy, which we wear to celebrate Remembrance Day, because it doesn't just remember people in the world wars. It remembers all armed conflict involving British troops ever. And that includes Bloody Sunday in his eyes. And he said, I can't look at people in the eye in Derry.

And all the time, every year, he gets the same abuse. And every year, he refuses to wear it. And every year, I'd normally post at some stage, why would we expect him to?

And I don't think we should bully people like him into doing it.
