Parliamentary Discussion

[Blue Willy]

No one will turn up.

Also, If you have a blue willy, please go to the doctors.

Yup, the place is normally dead for things like this. But Id sooner have them discussing us being badly done too in parliament and in the news, than them not taking about us.

Ps. I don’t

 

[Blue Willy]

I don't think its actually discussed is it?

I dont think it is today, no. Just a reading. Possibly several future discussions, but not much today, probably not even shown. But it starts the ball rolling.

 

[Gilbert..]

There'll be about 4 people there.

And 3 will be asleep at the back
Only time that place is full is when they're voting on MPs pay.

 

[Blue Willy]

Even when they are discussing critical things, theres often just a handful there. Bit of a joke really.

 

[Toffeepot]

Can't see it making much of an impact. How many Mp's are going to be concerned by this?

Even for those that don't care its an opportunity to distract or create a new talking point that shows they 'fight for the common man' or other such waffle

They won't care about us that much but a lot of them want football to be reeled in a bit.

Like the avatar, maybe we should all use this if we frequent other forums...

Stolen from on here mate, lots on X/Twitter seem to have changed to it and I know people were spamming the PL page with it over the weekend.

Positive way is to show what PL brand is all about. Was ready to walk away from football altogether such was my anger and contempt. However, have been buoyed by non football types who cannot reconcile why a points deduction for a breach of off the pitch activity and other fans of other clubs who feel its unfair.

Although just had to endure a pointless queue for cup game tickets only for the link to purchase tickets not to work when it was my turn... Still got there in the end.

Motivational factors for British parliamentarians:

1. Will it get me votes?
2. Can I get a slice of cash somewhere?

The UK Gov influenced the PL in getting the Newcastle takeover done. They'll do nothing for us, given whom our owner(s) is.

Will be great to have an independent regulator set up by a government that has been shown to be involved in the corruption of the organisation it wants to regulate

3. Will it lose me votes if I dont act appropriately.

Its not a product its worth without us fans onside and if we can tell the world what they are watching is essentially corrupt is a good chance they switch off and ELP and government will be compelled to act.

Won't apply in this case. Not enough voters will effect the outcome outside of the Merseyside area, as far as other mps are concerned.

I mean ... if I wrote to the lascivious, letching, fox-hunting country manor living scrote that passes as "my" representative here in North Wiltshire about Everton or even the rights and wrongs of football governance, do you think he'd even bother replying?

He probably still thinks football is a game played by booting around some highwayman's head from village to village.

 

[Blue Willy]

I was replying to the general philosophy of MPs not ours specifically. They “only care about winning votes and money”, adding “and losing votes”. If Ian and other local MPs arent seen to at least be half interested in whats happening then they really shouldnt be representing us.
