Don't let the cry babies get to you, you don't even need to reply to the millennial's who say ok boomer to you, You get in your expensive car and go back to your big house and you enjoy your nice life, whilst they sit their in their self loathing crying how life is unfair into their pumpkin latte.
Small car, small house . Very little gets to me these days. I like to see funnies but I do get cheesed by the inaccuracy of this imported from the US tee shirt slogan which just proves the point that those using it have little idea of fact or even reality. According to them they are of course the first ever generation to fight fascism!

I know in the great Brexit thread you often get remoaners talking excrement and being annoying as intercourse towards people they don't agree with but they fail to understand crying and whinging won't accomplish anything, and no one gives a excrement they are offended.

If people can’t get their head around why it is a bad move for a football club at the heart of local community to hire out their facilities to a divisive political party and let them use the clubs name to promote their agenda/campaign, then I despair.
The mammoth thread on here and the discussions on social media show that this was clearly a stupid move on the clubs part. Online/social media doesn’t account for everyone I know, but it’s a pretty big snapshot and a good indication of opinion.
It’s not about free speech, it’s not about silencing any political party and it’s followers. It was just a flipping stupid move. This was clearly not ‘just business’ for some function room.

It's posters like you that make it more than it was and that is purely for business reasons. Are you implying that this was politically motivated and that those who control the running of the club are actually Brexit Party supporters? It’s not about free speech, it’s not about silencing any political party and it’s followers. It was just a flipping stupid move. This was clearly not ‘just business’ for some function room.

There are two things in this world businesses should not involve themselves with. Religion and politics.
The problem is the people at this football club behind-the-scenes do not understand public relations, do not understand commercialism, do not understand business.
The sorry state of affairs is somebody allowed this to happen. Who? I understand John Fenty is Conservative.. and therefore will want to dilute the Labour vote but....
To sell our football club out to anothing political party is disgusting. The ineptitude of the people running this football club is embarrassing. For me, the blame lies with the same people who are high-fiving themselves for their “forwardthinking“ in booking the soccer express before the Chelsea tie was confirmed.

Disgusted about the whole episode and what has happened to the club and the shirt I love. You can say all you want about the Brexit Party and tell me I'm over reacting but the bottom line is I won't be attending BP again this season. That is why this should never have been allowed to happen.

Agree absolutely will be posting my shirt back to GT FC in the morning, embarrassed to be associated with Grimsby in any way today

I think the Labour party have more trouble with racism than Nigel Farage. Most people (aside from your social media mates) will see it as a commercial decision to allow a mainstream political leader hold a meeting, with a photo opportunity thrown in.
Farage has been all over the media today, in Grimsby. Sky News came from Grimsby showing Farage holding a fish. Are you suggesting the whole of Grimsby endorses Farage 'cos he was holding a fish? Is Sky News to be damned forever for filming it?
Take a look at The Lobby investigation, available on YouTube, you can buy lies if you want to believe them, like pretending the Tories haven’t been in power for the last 9 years and they are not privatising the NHS by stealth( ask anyone who works in it). Like it’s not them who held the referendum, had a majority failed to pass a Brexit deal, had another election, paid the DUP over a billion pounds so they had a majority and still failed to deliver Brexit. Boris the clown even voted against a deal he had signed up to, in short the Tories failed to get it done , Boris is not dead in a ditch but as a serial liar no one expected it. We have had 9 years of Tories and they have failed in everything and this is the record we should vote on

It’s absolutely appalling. Letting them use the room is one thing, printing shirts with their names on is effectively endorsing a blatantly racist party. Aside from the fans, I would expect thee are a few players in the club who aren’t happy about this.
Can you explain your "blatantly racist" statement?

All I can say is that for a “community club” to allow any “political leader” such an opportunity to attach their narcissism to our beloved black and white stripes suggest John Fenty and his small minded cronies should eff off now!!!
No doubt I’ll be told to “shut up”.
Clubs a disgrace and out of control.
