WOW, Iron Mike Tyson is coming to York.
But I don't mean wow hooray, I mean wow so what.
Iron stands for Ignorant Rude Offensive Nutcase.
He's not a celebrity. He's scum of the earth who grew up in a fierce ghetto, nurturing his butt head and fists until the day he finally made some money out of it, then there was no stopping him. Power went to his head.
He's "attracting tourism" - oh I see, so to attract tourists, York welcomes a man who is a rapist, wife beater, woman batterer, who bites ears off people, can't keep his fights inside the ring, gets arrested for something or other each time he steps foot outside his house. He couldn't even visit South America recently without getting into an altercation with a photographer. What will happen when he comes to York?
York Hospital should have a spare bed ready on that day, because I can see someone who meets Mike during the day will end up needing treatment.
We can't stop him coming to York, that's his choice, but why make a fuss about him?
A Logan,
Tennent Road,
York.
