Il calciatore Jonjo Shelvey sulla partenza dall’Inghilterra per Dubai: “Se devo essere sincero, non voglio più che i miei figli crescano in Inghilterra. Siamo fortunati a vivere in una bella parte del Regno Unito. Ma da dove vengo, originariamente, non puoi avere cose belle. Non indosserei mai un orologio o non avrei mai avuto il telefono a Londra”

**The full quote from headline**
“If I’m honest, I don’t want my children growing up in England any more. We’re very lucky that we lived in a nice part of the UK but where I’m from, originally, you can’t have nice things in my opinion.
“I’d never wear a watch in London any more. You can’t have your phone out in London, in my view.”
“I’m not massive on reading politics,” Shelvey said. “I just see some of the things that go on.
“I see people getting arrested for tweeting and, then, all of the flags and ‘taking back the country’.
“I’m not going to sit here and comment on things like that because I’m not clever enough to, and I’ll get myself into trouble if I carry on, but I just feel that the UK isn’t what it was 10 to 15 years ago.”
“Where I grew up, in Harold Hill, it was rough and it still is now. I used to live in a little council flat, next to the shops, and there was always trouble, people getting stabbed. One Christmas I was in the pub with my dad and I looked across and there was a bullet hole in the television. I said: ‘Can we go, dad?’ My dad still lives in the same place, my mum and my sister live in Brentwood, further out. My sister was pregnant and I didn’t want her baby growing up in the same area, so I bought her a house.” ~ Jonjo Shelvey, 2013
I’d rather live in Bradford than Dubai, and it’s not even close.
Who? And what does this have to do with r/europe? If this dude wants to live in the land of slave labor, good for him.
Picking dubai of all places..
Just say it’s for the money lol, we all know that’s why you are going there
He always struck me as being one bolt short of a nut.
Should we care? Like who is this and why he so important to share here?
Everyone knows why Europeans move to Dubai – it’s usually one word answer.
Gotta laugh at a descendent of gypsies complaining about petty theft.
Why the fuck are his talking points straight from Triggernometry if he’s not that into politics? I’m convinced that Kisin is a Russian agent working to destabilize the UK.
