The prime minister was asked about his relationship with Arsenal Football Club after the Sky News' Westminster Accounts project revealed he had received two-and-a-half times more gifts and hospitality than the next MP.
No one’s saying he can’t go to the game. He just can’t take free expensive tickets as political favors or have enhanced security on the government’s dime and not be called the fuck out about it. He can buy his own tickets and hire his own bodyguards if he wants to, he’s a big boy.
Asking people to give up their lives, hobbies, and anything that brings them joy when they go into politics isn’t the way to get quality candidates.

Now that’s a take, Holy hell.
You’re right. He should just keep accepting bribes so that he doesn’t have to forgo his hobbies.
Not going to a football match doesn’t mean you have to give up everything that makes you happy.
If that’s literally the only thing that’d make him happy, he’s got much bigger problems in life.
Thank you!
A quality candidate would be a person that wasn’t a football loony.
How dare they enjoy things!
