Quoted from MaccaBilk


Mitchell has presided over decades of decline in the Town, yet he still gets the vote; things might change this time though.

Traditionally, Grimsby has been a working class town, but that's quickly changing. Grimsby is fast becoming an unemployed class town. Where working class vote labour, the unemployed vote BNP.

With a high profile campaign by Nick Griffin and the likes of BNP Vicar as his stooge, maybe we can expect a little shock for the seat of Great Grimsby come 2010.


wouldnt  you just love that to happen eh macca?

Left the area as a nine year old, so my vote doesn't count in NE Lincs, but I'm not impressed with Labour and never have been.

BH.


With a peccadillo like mine, you wouldn't want to meet me.

Watching THE TOWN sober isn't an option!

In some ways that's a pity really. Great Grimsby is traditionally a solid Labour seat and has been since the war (although the Tories came very, very close to winning in 1983) and it is hard to see that changing which probably explains why Mitchell does what he does(n't).

Whilst a Tory win in the town is not totally ruled out (see 1983) if the voters were to desire a change or even make a protest vote the natural home in GG for such action are the Liberal Democrats. Sadly, their candidate is Andrew DeFreitas. D'oh!


Mr McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

Think you'll find I'm Macca (and so's my wife)  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I hate to point it out but when Mitchell first came to Grimsby he was an outsider. He came from Yorkshire (in fact given the books he still writes I don't think he actually realises he's left it) and like all prospective candidates he tried to create a link with the area (I think he once covered a story about missing cats on the Wybers for Calendar or somesuch).

And as for his Labour predecessor Tony Crosland we was a second choice constituency for him! I don't care if prospective candidates are local or not so long as they do something for us and I think Mitchell switched off years ago.


I kind of do, I mean Austin cant be accused of being a career politician, who is only using Grimsby to get into Parliment, and although I hate everything New Labour, I like how Austin quite often votes against the whips.

I think you ought to meet him before passing judgment.

I have, and believe it or not, he isn't........and no I'm not a Tory.

Yep  maybe I should, but If I had to meet everyone I had to form an opinion about, what a dull world it would be, as I said that was a personal opinion, No I havent met the guy, but Ive heard him speak enough to form an opinion however valid/invalid it may be.
