Liverpool's astonishingly precipitant decline this season has been debated endlessly in the past couple of months, but one explanation has not received much airtime.
The English Democrat and former UKIP candidate Paul Rimmer has said that the club are being punished for promoting homosexuality. This relates to their participation in the Liverpool Gay Pride parade in the past few years.
Rimmer shared his analysis on his Facebook page.
Rimmer is a big fan of the Bible and insists that it's not his opinion that Liverpool are cursed, but the Bible is pretty clear. Brendan Rodgers and his boys are doomed.
The promotion of homosexuality has been blamed for many ills in the past, notably September 11th, when the Rev. Jerry Falwell said that 'the gays and the abortionists' and various other groups of supposed ill-repute were in fact responsible for the two hijacked aeroplanes that crashed into the World Trade Centre.
Rimmer was arrested two years ago for tussling with police officers over their decision to fly a rainbow flag over the local police station. He intends to run for Mayor of Liverpool in 2016, his second run. Last time out, he earned 60 votes.
