Aston Villa Women - Eni Aluko

[Somniloquism]

What a stupid person she is. I haven’t had a single period of unemployment since I left college and I now find myself furloughed. I absolutely hate every second of it and the constant thoughts going through my head about whether this is furlough or delayed redundancy.

I suspect Eni, like a lot of right wing people, loathe people on benefits and just assumes everyone are spongers who are. They also cannot or will not believe they are led by a loon and so have to defend him to the hilt. So when most of the country are obviously confused from Sundays speech and even the subsequent followups, she has to try to defend so has a chance when people who are furloughed cheer on some clarity from the one person in the government who seems to know what they are doing in their role.

I also suspect that there is no punditry, not law firm and maybe is not fully employed by Villa or has even been let go due to no Womens football for several months. So she is also angry that no money is available so needs to attract attention. The Heil jumped to her defence so expect the first column there soon.

I knew she was a tory from a few years back but she'd done a good job of not allowing her politics to define her but this is just stupid and I'm very disappointed that she did it with the clubs name all over her profile.

It’s not about Tory or Labour. It’s uneducated at best or just plain nasty. Both left and right are more than capable of both.

While I fully agree with you, in this instance it's pretty characteristic Tory thinking.

In many cases I'd agree but these specific tweets are tory/right to the core and specifically the 'come good' tories who think that they made a 'success' of themselves through hardwork and determination and therefore anyone who isn't the same is feckless and lazy.

Definitely uneducated. She went to the same school I did it seems. Years after me though.

Agreed, Paul.

Priti Patel and Nadine Dorries do it as well, and there are loads of blokes like it, including a huge amount of tradesmen who own a few properties on the side.

I thought it was the Tories that thought of the Furlough scheme and have now extended it to October - maybe I am wrong and it was Stammer (and his mates, that did this)?

And??

And??

Not wishing to speak for sid, but I took it as him pointing out the irony of a "staunch" Conservative being highly critical of the recipients of a tory government policy introduced to help the country get through a time of national crisis.

Spot on. Without getting too political it is possible to vote Tory and not be some extreme right winger or have no heart/social conscience. I'm not saying Aluko fits into this description but using reference to her simply as a Tory is unfair on people who vote that way in my view. There are ill educated and dangerous people on both sides of the spectrum, mainly the far ends of them.

It was possible, it isn't now. The Conservatives are a Far Right party now. If in doubt, look at who they are aligned with in their Brexit ideology. No moderate favours a No Deal scenario that now seems inevitable.
