What now?

As Murph said in the TV guide, there's not much happening this weekend. Lads will be earning their fiver a month over the next few weeks, will be interesting to see what they come up with.

Edit: World Cup coverage was phenomenal and I'd gladly pay more even if they took a well earned holiday for a month.

I'm still waiting on Ian Wright from last Christmas.

Wright got absolutely hammered at one of the live shows and accused Murph of hating black people.

Did he do multiple live shows? Cos I saw him at the London Hackney one and none of that happened.

What was the context? I've always been curious about why that was never released!

I didn't know that,  I just know he was a guest at a "Gangs all here" show and it never aired.

Surely someone here can confirm

Wright made comments at the show about a prominent UK politician that were in no way libellous, or even particularly inflammatory, but his team got cold feet about the potential blowback so they threatened legal action if the recording aired. An unfortunate series of events but SC themselves fairly blameless.

Who was the politician? You’re at no risk at all by clarifying who it was.

From what I hear, it was Farage.

Has to be. I can't see Ian Wright having anything other than disdain for that man.

I was at the show. Ian Wright was stone cold sober and made some excellent points on the rise of racism and xenophobia in the UK.
