Keith Houchen Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Officially a Tory football club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Of course they're Tory - favourite club of both David Cameron and Liz "Pork Markets" Truss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Sure most club owners probably donate to political parties (and let's be honest, that particular party), but actually out of the clubs money? Oooof. That's rank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t he a Villa fan? Or did he forget which claret and blue team he said he supports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s Villa. Same colours diffferent club. Never heard about Truss though, but seeing as Lady Brady is on the board it’s no surprise if sone Tories say that. Anyway, I’m off to throw up. Thankfully I’ve only been to 1 game in the last 6 years but using the clubs money is utter crass. I blame Spurs for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he mixed them up during a general election campaign once. IIRC it was 2015? Truss now claims to be a Norwich City fan because she represents a constituency in Norfolk, but based on where she grew up, she ought to support either Leeds Utd or St Mirren.

I grew up 10 miles from Upton Park. Tottenham, Arsenal, Man Utd and Liverpool were they main teams supported in my school. Geography is no match for success for who you support now days.

Fog Dude Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Yeah, fair point. The term 'ought to' was doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. Don't want to risk the wrath of Midlands Spurs spokesman Raidy again! I presume Truss saw no need to even pretend to be interested in football before she became an MP.

When I was a lad the majority of folks supported Liverpool and we lived closer to Ajax as the crow flies than we did to Anfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t they need to use Euston to get the train to and from home games? I might have to look into this and make the odd reference now and again.

I read (and then disposed of) his For The Record, and that sorry saga is in there, about how he is genuinely a Villa fan but had something of a brainfart. I can't remember the details from the book but I've seen Cameron comment elsewhere that he had West Indies on his mind because England was playing a test over there.

Guest Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 The Cameron and Truss comment was just about the team's name, not based on knowledge of their actual professed allegiance. That pig boy actually did make a Freudian slip is a happy coincidence at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds of when it came out, someone mocked up a new sleeve for the book and left it in the shop: “Women wanted him. Men wanted to be him. Animals feared him. He had the world at his feet yet he threw it all away over a bitter rivalry that began at the urinals of Eton 40 years ago.” “This isn’t so much a book as a blueprint of how to completely destroy a country- written by a tired man with a face like a satellite dish made of ham.” https://forreadingaddicts.co.uk/news/david-cameron-trolled-by-fake-book-cover/ Edited March 4, 2023 by hallicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
