Certainly not a Tory (Labour member) and absolutely detest their politics and all they stand for.

However for some to be outraged at a simple retweet and comment or the recent engagement from Jason and the club (regulator launch) is utterly bizarre. Anyone running our football club needs to proactively engage and work professionally with all local leaders; MP's, councillors, head teachers, Police etc etc. To not do so would just be bat sh*t crazy to be honest with you.

We will need community support for a whole rage of things; safeguarding, policing, fan safety, new ground, new training ground, planning permissions, public investment the list goes on.

She's crap, her party is crap, but we got a mention on TV in Parliament for a good reason, which is a good thing despite peoples thoughts on her, her abilities and the Conservatives more generally. She was elected to the position. Some of us need to be a little less partisan on absolutely everything, all the time.

(Don't know if I forgot to mention, she really is crap btw!!)


All Town aren’t we

Stockwood is obviously left-wing, but knows how to play the game. Say nice things about those with power/influence and the potential to help out your business(es), and you'll generally not go too far wrong.

Jason Stockwood said on Twitter he would take a break from social media after getting "pelters" for daring to say thank you to the elected member of Parliament for Great Grimsby for highlighting the clubs success at PMQ's.

We all know Stockwood is not a Tory but he seems blessed with common courtesy, which seems beyond some of the Twitter mob, and sadly some on here.

All politicians of all parties, good ones, bad ones and indifferent ones will comment or get a photo opportunity when their local team hits the headlines. It would be ridiculous if they didn't.

I gave up on politics about 5 years ago and feel calmer for it. They're all the same, pigs in the trough with little interest in their local communities.
My tory MP represented a constituency that voted massively remain, then spent three years running round Westminster leading the brexit lot. Nici is anonymous and everyone knows she'll be unemployed shortly after 22:00 on the day of the next election. She only got in because nobody wanted Jeremy Corbyn for goodness sake.
Have a day off boys and girls, celebrate the fact that we're in the FA Cup quarter final and finally our team is in the national spotlight. Every TV company in the land will be circling Blundell Park next week looking to fill 5 minutes, having not been near for 20 years. What should we do, chuck 'em out because they're hypocrites?
Jason may be looking for support for GTFC in other ways at some point. If you really think he should tell the local MP to clear off you're really naive. I believe its called "influencing skills", although some of us may know it by another term.
Stop watching the news, stop watching PMQ's and relax!!

How right, have a day off indeed. I rarely watch TV News channels. Can't stand the rudeness and self promotion of so called 'journalists' with obvious agendas and career plans. TV generally is a cess pit in a race to the bottom as it competes with baleful social media and addiction to binary formats.

Supporting your local team and associated forums should be a safe haven from worldly concerns and politics.

Two points: -
1/ Why drag politics into football , especially nationwide politics?
2/ Why call somebody a ' buffoon' , just because they have a different political view to yours?
Just as a point of interest, you couldn't have got a more self serving , egotistical politician as the last Labour leader who was voted in to run the country. Made his name in politics, jumped ship and has since acquired a very large property portfolio and thinks he has the answers to all the world's problems.
