Wrexham striker Paul Mullin stirs up controversy

Everyone talking about BREXIT fake news etc. The rich are getting richer. Nothing will really change. All the main parties are made up of mainly career politicians which if they ever had a real job were high end accountants, bankers, business rip off merchants, solicitors etc. Most are clueless about real life in places like Stoke or Grimsby or Luton etc. They do not care about what happens as long as they get voted in/keep the perks/pensions/guaranteed highly paid 1 day a month jobs during or afterwards and getting paid £1000ph in directorships/as consultants just to talk to other politicians to feather their own and friends nests. Yes there are some locals who have a serious belief in supporting their communities but they rarely rise to top ministerial levels and have little say in what goes on. Your mad if you think voting for one lot or the other will really make much difference to the big picture.

As much as I detest Boris Johnson, his government led us through the pandemic well.

Honestly, any resemblence of a decent argument is totally lost with this statement.

The absolute girl privates were having parties, shagging their aides and leaving sick on the floor for cleaners to deal with whilst enforcing that we couldn't see our loved ones in their dying moments.

That's not even getting onto the actual mismanagement of the situation or waste of billions of our taxes, which conveniently went to their chums.

The lot of them should be in front of the first available firing squad.

Constantly amazes me that anyone genuinely believes people like Johnson and Sunak have their best interests at heart. They would quite literally throw you to the wolves to make a quick quid. Oh wait, that's right... They're already doing that!

“That is why no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party..........

If there's one thing that stirs up peoples emotions more than football....it's politics

That Nye Bevan speech lost Labour 2 million votes at the 1951 General election and it has been downhill ever since! *

When you start using such (hate speech in today's terms) then you immediately turn off voters. Often Labour leaders particularly seem to get carried away with the rhetoric and completely forget that millions and millions of voters do not passionately share their "hate" for one section or another. Tony Blair understood this well.

Both parties have done great things in the past; it might be Labour's turn next so we might see what they come up with.  

* Conservative Enoch Powell managed to end his career with one hateful speech (rivers of blood..) so it really is a stupid tactic.

So move this thread to non footy then. As a mod you know the drill. I can't be the only one to be sick of this thread infesting the wrong board. Same old posters saying the same old boring political tropes. I didn't drive all the way to Hartlepool and back wearing a political identity. I stood with 700 others, in common purpose, to support my team. I could not give a monkey's what their politics are, or the folk from Hartlepool I met.

Why you mods and Rob put clicks and divisive issues before footy is a mystery for me. I do notice , however that we seem to have lost a few regular posters who are more likely to be replaced by trolls. The surge in new STH's seems not to have enriched the Fishy much.  Are the politics, and the tone of comments putting people off?

It’s one thread amongst thousands, that you have chosen to read and post in. Simply ignore it?

Clicks mean money I’m afraid. Rob and the Mods know this.
How many clicks would this get in non-footy ??
It boils my p1ss as well. But I’ve given up reporting them !!

- Footballer gets boot made with a political message on them.
- Discussion begins into whether the aforementioned political message is valid.
- People disagree with the thread being on the football board but continue to click on it (thanks btw, the clicks are paying for my Caribbean cruise) and then keep add to it keeping the thread near the top of the page.

Shouldn’t have to ignore it. It shouldn’t be here. But the leftie Mods. Aren’t going to silence their leftie mates are they ?
Thankfully we are still out of the EU and we still have a Conservative government.
The will of the people is a wonderful thing  😀
And just to bring it back on footy. Not one person has commented that despite the blanks, this Scouse moron clearly wanted to promote disgusting language on his boots.
Absolute tool.
