so poorly thought-out, quite offensive really. he's deleted it from Twitter and replaced it with a very deep and wise chapter about hummusView attachment 655125
Does he really think the whole of Italy is like the Amalfi Coast?
He lives in Brighton, in one of the most affluent areas of the U.K. and he has the bleeping nerve to say that we as a country would want to move to Italy as though it is a homogeneous area of outstanding national beauty
No Matt, there are really deprived areas of Italy, just as there are beautiful and outstanding areas in England (you live in one of them ffs).
Stop being a privileged twit. Own your privilege and duck off.
(I haven’t expressed what I want to say very well. In a word I think it he is being really offensive to the Italians, to people who live in areas that may not be as pretty and affluent as he would like (Grimsby and Stevenage for example) and just anyone actually- he is pissing me off.
he's also doing a signing and this picture just says it all... double denim, eyes closed, not to mention, we're still meant to be distancing ya prune!
I've squiggled the entire person he's with cos they don't deserve to be identified at all
