The Atherstone Ball Game is a "medieval football" game played annually on Shrove Tuesday in the English town of Atherstone, Warwickshire. The game honours a match played between Leicestershire and Warwickshire in 1199, when teams competed for a bag of gold, and which was won by Warwickshire.

When your self loathing gets so strong, your fragility and desperate need for validation gets too much to bear,  and the resulting outwardly projected homophobia gets so all encompassing that you need to start your own 'political party' to support it all.

What an absolute turd of a man.

he's an outrage farmer who is funded by 14 yr old boys who give him money each month for his "courses" on how to be "alpha males" 

The ironic thing is, he could've quietly come out of the closet a few years ago when nobody knew who he was and nobody would've batted an eyelid, instead of building a big audience of impressionable adolescents and adult incels, and constantly telling them that basically everything in the world is "gay" apart from him and his insatiable yearning to have sex with other straight men.

The logical ending of course would be him being 'gaybashed' to death by his own horrified moron army of homophobic mouthbreathing alpha-virgins.

Do you british folk know of the show Escape to the Country on the BBC? it's kind of a favorite at the moment. I was wondering how popular it is over there.
