Hope not, he's trying his best to set up his Corbyn youth division.
Someone tried that in Europe in the 30's by all accounts.

We need someone to reverse these Tory cuts which are now starting to cost lives, in the name of allowing the rich to stay richer.

I find the view that politics doesn't belong in sport to be somewhat naive in a country (world?) where individual football fans are inconvenienced on a weekly basis by T.V. schedules, policing issues and the inability to be trusted to stand at some grounds.
Politics dictates where World Cups are held (i.e. why we never get given one).
Rightly or wrongly sport is used to show displeasure at the actions of certain countries resulting in boycotts of major sporting festivals.
Politics is EVERYWHERE in sport....


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Well there's no need to shout. I'm not daft I did realise that your view was your opinion. I've explained why I think politics influences sport every day which is my opinion. My original reply was a generalisation not particularly a criticism of any individual. Never mind...

Sorry Ian I did not mean to take it out on you,

Even though I still have not got my membership card  

There was another poster on the footy board who had a moan about that post.

Politics has been involved in sport ever since the ancient Greek Olympics. The whole thing is war by other means. The idea of politics free sport is a myth.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
