    This goes deeper than brexit , brexit was the final nail in the Labour coffin and in reality it's been coming for years .

    Get Brexit done was all they needed , someone who was on
    their side , honoured the referendum result and more importantly respected them and their vote .

    It's to be seen whether Johnson is worthy of that vote mind .
    If you want to know what it felt like ticking that box it felt like I had picked dog **** up with my bare hand, but I felt I had to do it or the **** (John healey) would stain my constituency , as it were I didn’t have enough voters to clean it up

    Problem is now come next election the feelings will be remembered just like people remembered the miners and this will be a focus seat for Tory’s and people will be looking very hard at don valley and rother valley to see how Tory’s treat the north

    I really don't understand this misguided loyalty to any political party, Its not like you are deserting the Millers to go and watch Wednesday because they are doing ok, Its a choice in every election to consider the parties manifesto and make a decision using head not heart. Be your own person, not who your father or his father before him voted for.

    My mother in law has only ever voted labour. She's 78. This time her comments was . " I can't vote labour so I just won't bother". I asked in a few more words wtf?
    She recons in her voting history there's been 2 other occasions where she didn't agree with what labour were spouting, so rather than vote for some other party she just doesn't bother.
    She also mentioned. When her dad was alive she didn't get a choice. He told her she's voting labour.
    Good owd days eh

    How do you explain you watching the Millers or me watching the Tykes when there is probably better fayre on offer at either of the Sheffield clubs [well one at least] or Leeds?
    Heart not head so how much sense does that make by your logic?

    By that logic anyone who supported afc Wimbledon would have gone to support mk dons?

    The hunting grounds for labour is no longer in the north but down London so if your putting it in football terms it’s like selling oakwell, New York stadium ,bramble lane and Wednesdays pit and opening new stadiums and training grounds in Heathrow Luton and other Londonish areas.

    Would you still go watch them down London?

    The question is would you follow your heart or your head if there is better fayre on offer
    Even though you could watch this better fayre locally I maintain you would be just like Cayton's mother in law & continue to watch the Millers

    There was a sketch on the Fast Show where a bloke in the pub kept changing his football team until he found a good one. His latest announcement was that he was going to give The Arsenal a try this week.

    I think the next week he even decided to change his national team because Berkamp was from the Netherlands

    Exactly mate it’s bloody ridiculous how people could vote for a party based on a brand yet they moan about how bad things are like town centres and moan that they are not being listened too. These people are worse kind of people they usually have no argument why you should vote labour they just condemn you for not voting for their cult
