I've spoken to a fair few people who live, work and have companies in the area, many of whom have no interest in football - most don't have time for him and many that voted Labour are now considering other parties or not casting a vote.
I'd like him campaigning for more investment in sporting facilities, better changing rooms, more 3G pitches in and around public parks in Edinburgh South - not campaigning for an ailing football club who has failed to do what other competitor clubs have done bar a couple and that is pay it's dues. As with many politicians, for me his moral compass has gone array and been clouded by an emotional attachment to a football club. I wonder if he's provided ant help and assistance to those staff that lost their job ? Might be a good question to pose to him ? His replies to me were just condescending political nonsense if truth be told. Bring back Nigel 'come into my office:wink:' Griffiths :greengrin
