If you're jaded by all the FIFA and Infantino bullshit, support your local National League/NL North/NL South team. - It's cheap - Your money makes a difference - You can sit near the pitch - You can almost always get tickets - There's no VAR - Decent quality football - You might see a future star
Even if he was still an MP, his party's policy is to get rid of all public health and social care services and privatise it all So his sole contribution would be to repeatedly say "Nope" to any and all suggestions Plus, and this is important, he's a ball bag. And nobody wants to meet a ball bag

NEW - Greens won’t stand in Clacton. So it is Nigel Farage versus Count Binface.
