If Swann can’t stand the heat, he should get out of the kitchen.

A politician is a public figure. Look at the things they said about Trump. This Swan snowflake has a very thing skin.

Van is the man. Love how he and Clapton refuse to kowtow to the establishment.

Boo Hoo. Swann is an idiot and Van is challenging his ridiculous policies. Right now there is a blanket ban on live music in N. Ireland, and Van is making Swann look like an petty tyrant by publicly standing up to him.

I caught Van when he came through SD last month and he put on a great show. Still going strong at 76!
