Newcastles owner not attending the funeral today

[Jedi boro]

It seems his humans rights record is too questionable. But ok for the prem league
Though.

Saudi Arabia's crown prince - and de facto ruler - Mohammed Bin Salman was invited, but he is not expected to attend the funeral, Reuters reported on Sunday. It would have been his first visit since the murder of journalist and Saudi critic Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.

Prince Mohammed was accused of ordering the killing, and Hatice Cengiz - who was engaged to Mr Khashoggi - said the prince "should not be allowed to stain [the Queen's] memory and use this time mourning to seek legitimacy and normalisation".

Fit and propper person.

I had my Despot Bingo cards printed and ready, so my kids will be gutted if I have to disqualify them because MBS didn't turn up.

Should have been on the same no invite list as Putin and Assad.

Will Steve Gibson be there like?

Will Steve Gibson be there like?

There are plenty in Middlesbrough who wouldn't invite Gibson to their tea party.

For the record, he is welcome at my house anytime.

As far as I can tell he was invited but snubbed the invitation and sent someone else.
So his human rights record not too questionable it seems.

According to the Guardian the other day he didn't want to go on the bus, and has such a fragile ego that if he wasn't sat front and centre, he wouldn't go.
