This isn't a political thread and I don't want to turn it into one. But if you truly believe that Labour is what it once represented then I'm sorry it isn't. It's possible to agree with views from all political parties. Same goes for in the U.S. or Canada where I live. It's when you get stuck on everything that one party says is wrong then nothing improves and we all get stuck in our ways. I'm sure there's loads of things the Conservatives do that I wouldn't agree with, but that's not to say Labour made everything better while they were in power for a long time. It's one thing if you believe in the core values of socialism and what it once represented but even then it's not like Lenin lived amongst the people in the same condition as those he represented. There's plenty of well off Labour who would like to keep it that way.And I have no idea how the Tory's and football throughout history relates to one man's support of a football team.

Why publicly state that he had no interest in the game and then directly contradict this statement? Why didn't he know when the team he claimed to support had it's finest hour?If you believe him, good for you. I'm a bit more cynical, and given the evidence I believe I'm entitled to be so.
Blimey what a nothing story
So Nev what you suggesting Cameron is a glory hunter by following Villa? Because that would be funny. Who cares when he revealed he liked us?

Chelsea or Man Utd would be too obvious. At best, it's disingenuous.I believe the same is true where Prince William is concerned, although I have absolutely no evidence on that one.

As opposed to the leader of the Conservative party. Doesn't make him the anti Christ. He just holds a different view politically to most of us. And he supports Villa. I don't see what the issue is with that either. I'm sure we have loads of fans with varying views on just about everything. As long as those views aren't illegal, then jump on board and they can all enjoy the ride.Fair enough, but holding a politically different view is not quite the same as dreaming them up and implementing them as law to the detriment of mainly the poorest people in our society. And he 'supports' Villa? Really? Yes because Tony Blair was the greatest supporter of the common man wasn't he. Sorry but if you think true socialism exists then you're kidding yourself. And what can't he support Villa. What is so completely outrageous about that? I've said this before but think of the pelters he'd be getting if came out and said he followed Chelsea or Man U? What's he got to gain by saying he likes us?
