Wanting to fix all of this is socialist apparently. Fully mad how blinkered some people are.
...so Capitalism and total privatisation of life is the way to go then. Me blinkered? FFS.

'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Frankly I wouldn't mind BP hosting a National Socialist rally led by the Hitler himself if it led to us staying in the EU (and a new ground being built in the next 50 years)

A nice story but the occasion on which this really happened was when James Callaghan took over from Reginald Maudling following Wilsons election victory. The Tories left a defcit of £800,000,000

It is telling how some so called Town fans would starve the club of much needed funds, because they had the temerity to hold a meeting from a main stream political party that doesn't agree with their world view.
And so it begins. You're trying to claim I'm not a Town fan because I think Farage is a populist chancer whose links to the far right and divisive and dishonest rhetoric shouldn't be supported. Just look who he's been consorting with in the US and you'll see what he's really all about. I'm not going to turn up and protest or anything, but for me, Farage represents all that is the worst about the leave side of the debate. He's made a very lucrative career out of it, taking our money to do so (he's not done his job as an MEP but has taken every penny available and then some for 20 years) and he's clearly in it for himself before anything else. His current vehicle, The Brexit Party, is a private company with 3 owners (one of whom is Farage, of course). The bulk of their funding comes from small donations which can remain anonymous and don't need to be reported to the Electoral Commission - absolutely ripe for illegal payments from outside the UK. About as dodgy as you can get, even before you consider the fact that they've just unilaterally withdrawn their candidates from over 300 constituencies - no refunds for these aspiring candidates who had to pay for it, either. If you're happy with all this, by all means go and wave your Union Jack, but I'm quite entitled to my view that it is disappointing that the club is accepting money from this charlatan. For reference, by the way, I am a Town fan, which is why I got to the games, have had a season ticket for the past 30-odd years and post on this message board. Not quite sure why you think this makes me a 'so called' Town fan?

you forgot to mention that this was as a result of a GLOBAL recession. Do you really believe everything you read in the Murdoch press?
