Dudley Labour MP Ian Austin who shouted "Sit down and shut up" to Jeremy Corbyn today is a Villa fan.

The same Ian Austin who complained about Nigel Kennedy at the Proms. Ian Austin, as far as I know, has never been seen at an away match.

Not like Dave Cameron and Tom Hanks.

Neither of who have ever criticised a genuine supporter who just happens to be famous.

Err... I was just being light hearted about Dave and Tom.

Ian Austin is our Local MP, and he is a really good guy

Has helped us with a couple of issues, I have nothing but praise for him.

He made a bit of a dick of himself yesterday though and didn't help with some of his comments on Twitter.

A lot of MPs can be excellent constituency MPs but clueless when trying to wade into the bigger arguments about party politics, and I really think they need a real-life Malcolm Tucker to threaten to "stick it up their Twitter with a lubricated horse cock" when they think that going on social media is a good idea.

Next time I have a meeting with Ian, I will tell him to stop the social media stuff

Don't know why, but I honestly thought he was an Albion fan, although I have never spoken to him about football

I follow him on Twitter and I think he follows me, don't tell him to stop, just maybe take a minute to think and reread before pressing send!
His comment about not voting against the Iraq enquiry when it's in open record that he did so on several occasions was particularly ill advised.

Bernard from Skint - scenes were shot in the series of inside pubs in Witton.  Is Bernard from Erdington and is he is a Villa fan?

Vernon, you mean? I think he originally wore a Villa hat on skint, but in some episodes he wore a Man Utd hat, so I was under the impression he was a fan of hats rather than football clubs. However, I saw him in Erdington selling the Big Issue some years back. I bought a copy and had a chat, and he said he was Villa. To be honest, I think he'd have said anything I wanted him to if I bought another Big Issue off him.

All football fans are fickle, it goes with the territory. God knows why you're implying it's a 'Villa thing'.
