That Tory bastárd is toonser Michael Gove, friend of Charlie, E’d-up clubber, ex-Lang Stracht journo, and NUJ picket. All very polite, all very friendly and that.

Now, in today’s ***** (edit: Sibo censors ‘penìs’ now) & Jockstrap, the Minister has revealed that he has already held discussions (in January) with our chairman about a new stadium at the beach, which is now almost completely air-brushed from the council ‘masterplan’. Brother Gove, “revealed he has spoken with Aberdeen FC chairman Dave Cormack over the Dons’ hopes of creating a new stadium at the beach, for which council financial support currently looks unlikely. He said, “I’m sure that a path through can be found.”

“Mr Gove…refused to be drawn on whether taxpayers should help pay for the ground, which is predicted to bring a billion-pound boost to the local economy in its lifetime. He said, ‘I spent many happy…afternoons at Pittodrie, so it has a place in my heart. I recognise that there’s a conversation ongoing between the council and the football club. I don’t think I should get involved. But obviously, I think Aberdeen FC deserves to have the best possible stadium in the future. I’m sure that a path through can be found”.

COYR.
In summary, referencing Gove and not 57V, a lot of words saying yer nae getting any feckin money but we will pretend that we will support it despite not having power in Aberdeen City Cooncil

Politicians of all divides are arseholes
