I see that Eric Cantona has been called irresponsible for his call for people to punish banks by taking their money out. The accusation came from an EU finance minister. Pots and kettles come to mind.

Boadicea's Chariot 
this from a man who made millions kicking a ball around, who does no one other than himself any good.
Ah but when the seagulls…… yada yada yada
God forbid that anyone should dare rock the EU’s boat.
Good for Eric.

Are you talking about Brighton?
Zen,
The famous ‘seagulls’ speech by Cantona? Ring any bells?
Yes, Ferret, and the totally clueless journalists who endlessly sniggered at it.
Tom,
The meeja don’t like being made to look silly. They prefer to do that for themselves.
I also remember his drop-kick on a mouth in the crowd.
Bells heavily muffled, I fear.
I can certainly see the irony in the reaction of the EU finance minister Tom, but I’m not sure what this move would achieve.
Zen,
He was trying to say the meeja was swarming round him like flies round a turd, the mentality of seagulls waiting for a tidbit. The press didn’t lik eit and went postal on the eejit.
Hello, Araminta. I suspect Eric had tongue firmly in cheek.
Tom @ 8. Ah, yes, the only occasion when they say the sh*t really did hit the fan.

p.s. The ‘fan’ deserved all he got and more, IMHO.
