    Guess from the ludicrous sums he earned with us means he's in the wrong tax bracket to stand for any one else. Clearly too much time on his hands.

    When Sol went up to lift the FA Cup, I was there, I was there.........:emoticon-0105-wink: :emoticon-0103-cool:

    His political leanings don't bother me (unless he is UKIP).

    Nothing wrong with being a Tory necessarily.

    He's probably more qualified than most of the other career politicians who have f-all experience in the real world (football is hardly the real world, but it's slightly more real at youth level)

    Do we really want a man that was proved to be so greedy and self serving that he threatening to take his ex club to court over image right payments whilst they were on the brink of liquidation, to be representing us in parliament....No thanks, the guy has no moral integrity.

    I'm not sure he's cottoned on to the fact that he would have to represent his constituents, which would mean actually making himself available to meet them. When he was at Pompey he would always agree to attend various supporters clubs gatherings and never turn up because he was having a massage instead.

    Could anyone imagine him bothering to turn up to his constituency surgeries?

    He makes an ideal Tory, pots of money, lives in a gated community, probably send his kids to Eton from offshore dealings like Cameron's dad did and then spout on about how wrong it is to avoid paying tax while allowing Russian Billionaires to cruise around London in their Bugattis Scot free.

    Fair comment meowth ! But didn't Red Ed Milliband do the same thing avoiding paying tax, after his father died, by transferring ownership of the family home ?

    They are all as bad as each other......

    Indeed. They're all hypocrites, but Labour are probably the worst.

    Or Lib Dems.

    The Green's staunchly anti-nuclear power view is a rather big sticking point IMO. I admire their idealism though.

    Hard to get a Rizla between all of them tbh - I want professionals running the countries key assets - education, health and defence - sooner they get taken out of the hands of politicians the better - their job should be to recommend any changes to those areas for the benefit of all, and for longer than 5 years.

    I'd vote SNP or an Independent just to be bloody minded!! But unfortunately they have no candidates in this part of the world.

    There's a bloody great energy source
    That's a very good point. A classic example of this would be Michael Gove, absolutely no clue or experience in education, yet this twit is made minister of Education and was rightly despised by virtually every teacher for the mess he created, (except those in the private sector of course).

    Taken from BBC Sports site:- Former Arsenal defender Sol Campbell has tweeted a message ruling himself out of standing for a parliament seat in Kensington and Chelsea, which has been vacated by Conservative MP Sir Malcolm Rifkind, saying his "ambitions lie elsewhere in the political arena".


    So that's that then - end of thread.....
