Wants a review of the sentences given out for trouble at the Sheff Utd game. From what I read the individual evidence against most of those involved was pretty tame anyway. Of course no-one wants to see mass brawls but the way to combat that is through effective policing and good communication between the police and the clubs involved. Football 'fans' already face tougher punishments than any other section of society. I usually agree with her and think she's done some good things for the town but don't agree with this Thatcheresque response.

Really...like what....? The problems in the town can be put down to various circumstances. The main one being a Labour run town for a lifetime. She is a career politician who only cares about herself. Taking credit for positive things that happen in the area she had nothing really to do with. She's almost as bad as her predecessor Austin Mitchell. Getting involved in these sentences only deflects away from what she normally does for the town..... nothing!

Referring to "Grimsby Hooligans" even when the events took place in a neighbouring constituency (Cleethorpes) was very unhelpful and perpetuates the stigma attached to both football fans and the town.
I'm sure she's a lovely person, but I'm afraid as a Member of Parliament, she's intellectually out of her depth. She's lucky the Tories picked a complete dud as a candidate last year, as a half-competent local candidate would have beaten her.

Totally agree she just loves a bit of attention does Mel! Yeah Just to show her ineptitude she was recently in parliament blaming the police cuts as a link to a rise in the annual crime statistics of NE Lincs which is fair enough you could argue, but she then went on to give 3 examples of the crimes caused because of the cuts!
the first one was an isolated incident outside a bar in Cleethorpes where a guy was punched and subsequently died, the second another isolate incident at home where a man was slashed in cleethorpes, and the the third was the football violence again in cleethorpes, but inept Mel hadn't even done her homework because this was in 2016!
This is the woman who disagreed with Corbynomics and voted against a Corbyn leadership, but now she wormed her way into his shadow cabinet not once as she raised her head from her trough to denounce his lunacy policy's, a fine example of a career politician, at least Austin Mitchel spoke his truth.

She is an unbelievable hypocrite! She represents a party that constantly bangs on about equality yet she was chosen as the Labour candidate from an intentional all female short list. She was also against Brexit and like has been previously mentioned, was involved in a no-confidence movement against Corbyn, resigned from the front bench but now is back cosying up to Comrade Corbyn. Can't stand her and would never vote for her.

Female politician in the Labour Party in an almost gauranteed Labour seat....her stock will no doubt be rising despite the fact she talks b0ll0cks and isnt connected to her constituents....what did Austin say when she was selected ...something along the lines of "a monkey could win that seat" People of Grimsby need to just stop blanket voting Labour and actually vote for a candidate who has the people of the towns interests at heart.
While Labour effortlessly win the seat they have no need to do anything for the people...key marginals is where things can happen....Onn's wolf whistle remarks for instance, that completely lost any focus on the rest of what she was campaigning for and made her, and therefore GY ,look pathetic.

Problem you've got is who do you vote for who genuinely has the interests of GY at heart? Tories never will. Grimsby is one of those towns that is full of people to be exploited on behalf of people in more prosperous places. A left of centre independent is about the best bet but will never be in government.

Exactly. She has absolutely no relationship or anything in common with the people she is supposed to be representing. She is a 100% EU remainer who's an MP for an area that overwhelmingly voted leave. She stated leaving the EU would leave this country and Grimsby in a disastrous position and would be damaging to future prosperity, absolute rubbish. I can remember her saying the wind energy companies would want to pull out or not come. This has also been proven to be a complete scaremongering exercise. They are flocking to come to the area as strategically it is an ideal place for them to be. She then proceeds to take every photo opportunity when a new company comes here making out she has something to do with it. She's a joke, Labour are a joke and I feel ashamed I have voted for them in the past, never again. The party of the welfare state who helps destroy towns like ours.
