Cardiff born David Sullivan owned the Daily Sport and the Sunday Sport between 1986 and 2007. Essex based and a father of two, Sullivan is a leading figure in the adult entertainment industry, a commercial property magnate and became the largest single shareholder in West Ham United in 2013. Of his 1982 conviction for living off immoral earnings, he commented: “I’ve made a lot of people happy.

I wish people would not use the phrase ‘adult entertainment’. Speak the truth about what this business is.
Do you really mean to tell me that the likes of Sullivan are members of the Royal Enclosure?
I gave up going years ago. So full of ghastly, vulgar people sponsored either by other ghastly, vulgar people or by those who should have known better, but who wanted to ingratiate their way into the wallets of these vile people.
A vulgarian of the first order!
Peter, should you ever consider disapproving of anyone; just remember that not everyone has had your advantages
This line is borrowed from the Great Gatsby, F Scott Fitzgerald
Speak your truth clearly; and listen to others, they too have their story
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexation to the spirit
If you compare yourself with other, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will greater and lesser persons than yourself

Thank you Martin….wasn’t Gatsby a gangster? If so, I am reluctant to take advice from him….
