    I thought boycotting was making Ehab happy, as per your replies to Clovis?

    Getting the result he wants will make him happy, if there's a realistic chance of getting this ballot completely ignored, then I now think it's the best course (to be honest, I've been surprised at the level of anger this one's generated and I take back what I said to Clovis).

    apparently it's ok to mock the disabled by calling them mongs but it's not ok to mention certain mps by name

    Many thanks for answering a question, shame it wasn't to the one I asked.

    When have disabled or afflicted ever been mocked? Apart from when you & others used to openly mock the ex-England Manager’s speech impediment.

    Calling somebody on here a “mong” is not mocking “the disabled”. It’s letting the person it’s aimed at know they’ve been foolish or stupid as per it’s definition. It has nothing to do with mocking disabled people. You need to remove the massive bag of chips you seem to have regarding many issues off your shoulder, they must be weighing heavy.

    A definition of “mong” is “a stupid or foolish person” in many dictionaries & has no relevance to disabled people. The word has evolved.

    Was just going to say there were still some on Twitter backing Ehab on this. Why do these blind followers still exist and emerge when everyone is so ****ed off?

    I missed the other question. If the question of ID cards came up today, then it would be discussed, just as safe standing and various other issues are now, but if someone starting banging on about the Prime Minister, it would be removed.

    The sooner these two muppets **** off, the better. Attending a football match with friends and/or family should be a simple and enjoyable activity, not something which is unnecessarily plagued with draconian and complicated policies.

    Come what May, whoever liberates us from these pair of ****s will be picking up the pieces in a corb, and will probably require a skilled Thatcher to put them back together.

    It will need a Major reconstruction. The line between running the club as a business and pleasing the supporters has definitely been Blaired.

    This has been my stance all along OLM. Glad you’ve finally seen the light.

    Maybe you think its ok to mock the disabled and use derogatory terms about the disabled but many people find it grossly offensive - 'the word has evolved' - pathetic

    Do people really believe that only 3000 people voted out of possible 16000?

    Yes. Several thousand have given up going, it was made almost impossible for corporates to vote (and they make up 20% of current members) and many others simply wouldn't vote on principal due to not agreeing with what was being offered.

    You’re an idiot. Nobody, bar you & a few others, have mocked anybody disabled.

    Referring to somebody as a “mong” means they’ve done or said something stupid or foolish. It’s a recognised slang word.

    If you’re offended, so ****ing what. That’s your choice.

    People may find you offensive, so ****ing what. Carry on.

    A definition of the word “mong” is somebody who is stupid or foolish. If you choose to take it out of context that’s your choice, as is the misplaced offence you take from it.

    See your post was liked by the prick who recently thought it ok to be joking about people’s partners looking like pigs. Hypocrite, like you.
