I feel exactly the same as you Nixon. Hated him because of the success he brought our rivals, but admire him for remaining a socialist after all these years.

And Fergie is a great New Labour supporter then again many of the rich working class tend to be…

When all else fails, resort to sarcasm – the most intelligent form of argument. I’m sure you have done already, but if not, give yourself a pat on the back.

I’m now looking forward to LFF covering political views of other ordinary people:-
– Harry Rednaps’s opinion on tax
– Paulo Dicannio’s views on immigration
– Arsene Wenger’s view of free glasses on NHS

That’s exactly the kind of elitism that had ruined democracy. Ferguson, the bin man that lives down the road and you and me all have one thing in common – we have a right to be considered equal. Just because some toff can go to Oxford or Cambridge on a trust fund to embark on a life in career politics, doesn’t make them any more capable of commenting on society then anyone else. If anything, it makes them LESS capable because they’ve never really lived IN society. ‘Relevant’?? How is politicians having stocks and shares in companies that are granted tax breaks and subsidies ‘relevant’? Come on, seriously…
It matters what everyone thinks, not just a handful of privileged men in The City.
Speaking of which, this is coming from a Manchester City fan, so I must feel strongly about it if I’m coming to his defence!
