John Fisher has issued a response to Angry Ginge after the Salford-born YouTuber made an expletive remark about London during his appearance at the Brit Awards on Saturday night.
Manchester United fan Angry Ginge, real name Morgan Burtwistle, joined darts world number one Luke Littler on the Co-op Live stage to present an award for best international song.
Rose, a member of K-pop group BLACKPINK, would make history by becoming the first artist from the industry to win a Brit Award as she won the category with pop star Bruno Mars for their song "APT."
But the big talking point from that segment was Ginge's speech, especially after ITV were forced to censor his comment about London.

"It is an absolute privilege to see the Brits in Manchester because it shows people are realising London is a sh*thole," he said with a smirk on his face.
Naturally, Ginge's comment received a huge pop from the Manchester crowd, but not everyone was best pleased about the jab, including social media personality and self-proclaimed "Boshfather" John Fisher.
John, who is the father of heavyweight boxer Johnny Fisher, was also present at the awards ceremony and read out his chinese takeaway order with trademark precision.
Speaking in a video posted to his social media accounts on Sunday morning, "Big John" was full of praise for Angry Ginge the person, but defended his place of birth in a passionate outburst.
"Right, my response to Angry Ginge calling London a sh*thole at the Brits last night. Now, I love Angry Ginge — he’s a great bloke. And I love Manchester — it’s a great city.
"But Ginge, there’s only one reason Manchester was chosen over London. And that’s money, my friend. It’s a lot cheaper. Now remember: money talks, bull**** walks. London’s the best city in the world. And you know it, my friend. Bosh. Le bosh. Let's ave it."
Angry Ginge, who hails from Salford, welcomed the decision to swap London for Manchester for this year's Brit Awards.
"I'm glad that they have awoken their eyes to how good Manchester is," he told the BBC. "Hopefully, Manchester doesn't become like London, but hopefully there's more events like this in Manchester. It's the place to be."
