Oh, you mean his dislike of the State of Israel or the well known fact that in spite of embracing LGBQ, diversity, ageism etc he does in fact hate all Jews?
But doesn’t mind Iran, the country that hangs gays from cranes. He made a few bob from his appearances on Press TV.

I'm toeing the line now! I'll shurrup......

are you an ex navy man

"According to Wikipedia the most likely origin of the term goes back to the wooden decked ships of the Royal Navy during the late 17th or early 18th century. Barefooted seamen had to stand at attention for inspection and had to line up on deck along the seams of the wooden planks, hence to "toe the line". The first mention of this use in literature stems from a story about navy life published in 1831 and written by Captain Basil Hall RN."
