George Galloway just had his show on Talk Radio. I have to say, he's grown on me these last few years.


he used to be my mp. even in his labour days he was never anything more than an egotistical self-aggrandising pin end.

Pretty sure Murphy has achieved a lot more in his life than those mugs who bullied him. So Murphy should be the one now who laughs at them.

It sounds like it had a profound effect on Murphy.

His bullies probably have rubbish jobs now so he has the last laugh.

It is obviously something that still rankles with him. You could see he was getting slightly emotional when speaking about it in the presser.

What did you think of him though?

Interesting 2nd half where he talks about bullying

Very interesting. School was obviously very tough for him. I wonder if there was something in his personality or demeanour that attracted bullies to him like flies to rubbish.

Probably, but not the point, and he’s not to blame. I do respect him for speaking out. I’m sure it can be a very difficult thing for people to do. Fair play to him.


Yes of course, I wasn't blaming
Shaun. I think it's absolutely terrible what he went through. School is usually one of the best times of a person's life, so it quite sad to hear things like this.


I hated high school.

Though, nowhere near as bad as Murphy's, obviously.

It's a strange vicious cycle of teenagers always being jerks, but adult figureheads in their lives not doing enough to stop them being jerks

Ding v Judd is highlight for me tomorrow. I think Selby will end up winning. Maguire Cahill could be close but mags more likely to make it. Not sure about Williams see how he feels tomorrow.

The bullying is probably what caused him to have the personality he has.

Or was it his personality that caused the bullying? :chin:

Just kidding. In all seriousness, bullying sucks. Everyone experiences it in school, and it’s one of those things that shapes a person.

Sorry to hear that about Murph. Bullying is rampant. Its everywhere. Not just in school with kids but in the workplace and elsewhere as adults. Must have been very severe to have had to leave school at 13. I experienced a small bit in secondary but it was nothing really. I also had a classmate ask me to have a few words with 2 or 3 lads from a year below him who were bullying him. I wasn't even a friend of this lad really but fir whatever reason he asked me. I did. Never heard anything more.

I always defended Murph on here. Up to today that was but although i went a bit overboard it was due to his decision to do punditry mid match in the most prestigious tournament of all. Still a crazy thing to do but probably no need for the hysteria and a lot of the personal stuff.

Totally agree, I had the odd bit in early secondary, probably because of the way my mum cut my hair, my crap trainers, and one time I took in a briefcase I got free from the esso garage on my dads tiger points (deserved it for that), but never serious or continued. I started stuff as well but never had a vendetta against anyone. Does make you a stronger person, I've actually intervened in a couple of instances I've seen it happening. Bullying is wrong.

I bet in more cases than not it is true. The guys in my school who were considered bullies are in most cases doing rubbish. One's doing ok but he's the exception.
