I'm sure you're right in some of the things you say but come on, IDS, Grove, Osborne and Cameron in particular are like the Nazi SS.

Their policies are the most blatanty ideologically driven agenda set that I've ever seen.

Osbornes doubled the deficit
Duncan-Smith has the blood of 4,000 people on his hands
Grove has destroyed sports participation which in turn will cripple the NHS in the not too distant future

And while I'm mentioning the NHS, don't get me started

Well said wildshot, I do not care which party an MP is from as long as they are going to fight the good cause of getting Newmarket Stadium built. All I can say that Ed Balls and his Mrs did zero to help when asked, they sat on the fence and followed the Peter Box and Wakefield Council Line. I don`t want to criticize Mary Creag as she is tidy. ( but again she did nothing but in a nice way ) . This new MP Andrea Jenkins is approachable and is working hard to help us. This is not a party political point. Its just a fact.

Can you keep your word and not get started then please.
Calling someone a Nazi and saying what you say about IDS are too strong, especially for a forum about rugby.

National issues, the local MP is prepared to fight our corner on the stadium issue then this is a good thing because Mr Balls wouldn't. He knocked on my door in March canvassing and tried to sidestep talking about the stadium. Couldn't have a given two hoots about any local issues I tried to engage him on. In fact all he really wanted to talk to me about was immigration.

Jenkins motives? Who knows - more voters onside? Undermining a safe Labour council to further her Westminster career? Most probably the latter.

IDS tried to suppress information on how many people (not scroungers) died after being put on benefit sanctions. He has blood on his conscience (assuming he has one) for setting seriously ill people to work, only for them to die shortly after. His department is under scrutiny by the UN for discriminating against disabled people.

He is one of those people who feels that they are better than the rest, that he knows better than the rest and that he is entitled to tell the rest how they should live.

Stick up for him if you want, but he's the worst kind of Tory, the kind who hides his complete lack of compassion or empathy beneath a very thin veneer of humanity.

As for the lady MP who took Ed Balls job, she has shown herself to be a committed Representative for her community and I wish their were more like her in all parties.

My point was about people's political views blinding them to see what someone may or may not be doing about one specific issue we are all interested in on this board, that being WTW.

We can talk all day about the rights and wrongs of all the political parties (they all have faults) if you want, but this is not the forum for it.

I'm not a moderator but I'm interested in what influential people can do for our great club, so can we please stay on topic?

Thank you.

I would stop following WTW if they needed to rely on somebody whose views or actions I find so abhorrent, it's a matter of conscience.

Well said - I agree completely.

As for the comments about IDS - off topic they may be, but they are a matter of public record, so hardly problematic for this forum.

Do we really need all this politics on here. You are staunch Labour I guess. I vote Conservative. We all want Trinity to succeed.

Can somebody who actually knows tell us what Andrea Jenkins has done to support the stadium bid?

It's like someone said earlier,they make their mouth to suit,wouldn't trust any of them,whatever their party

Good Heavens Pop Tart! If you read some of the off topic subjects on the Barnsley FC Tykesmad forum you'd have kittens!!!
