A Big-Mouthed Dutch Darts-Player? Guardian Scrapes The Bottom!
First, let me say I am not prejudiced against darts-players. I was a keen member of my local pub darts team for years when I lived in Cambridgeshire…
…and, moreover, I have defended darts traditional fun here on my blog… https://rossrightangle.wordpress.com/2018/02/03/pc-grimnasties-v-pretty-darts-girls-take-a-stand/
…but…
We know that the leftist Guardian newspaper is rabidly Europhiliac, and gives acres ( I suppose they prefer Euroid hectares) of space to any fanatic who needs to rant against Brexit or even patriotism in general…
…Guardian Bigot- “Don’t Even Acknowledge Patriot Point Of View!” …
…but when they have to zoom in on a big-mouthed (and dirty-mouthed) Dutch darts-player whose main grouse is not political or economic but about the possible effect of British independence on his personal prize-winnings…

“It’s horrible isn’t it. Did you vote for Brexit? Brex-shit. I don’t like it. Look at the pound and the euro. I get everything paid in pounds so just have a look how much it dropped. Let’s say it dropped by 10%, that’s cost me 10% of my prize money straight away. So that’s quite a lot of money. But it’s not only that. It’s horrible.’ Michael Van Gerwen

…never let it be said that the Guardian’s editorial commissars have any level of irrelevance and/or irrationality to which they will not sink.

Maybe they might let me write a pro-Brexit reply to that Dutch twit.
I can play darts too. That should be enough to qualify for a front page splash.

Righto, mate.
I’m up for that.
I was in our pub league winning team last year so that must make me an expert on politics too.
How if we crib some of the Brexit stuff that Ross writes and send it to the Guardian editor?
