I've been off line for a few months and everything has changed. We have got rid of David Cameron and his village idiot friend, George Osborne. We have a new female Prime Minister, who will hopefully be more like Harold MacMillan and less like Thatcher, but I doubt it!
We now have Brexit, which in itself is an act of complete stupidity, instead of trying to lead Europe, you have Cameron giving people the choice to leave - never give people a choice that you don't really want. Who knows what is likely to happen to the Humber region and Grimsby? Grimsby voted overwhelmingly to leave the EU but government after government have left the town behind, so there was no wonder the voters of the town rejected the pro-EU message being rammed down their throats.
The Labour Party is in a mess - you have the membership overwhelmingly supporting Jeremy Corbyn a year ago, and the PLP not wanting him as leader. The majority of the PLP, including Hilary Benn and that two faced coward Tom Watson (who went off to Glastonbury while others did his dirty work), and even our own MP Melanie Onn have rejected Corbyn. This is a time when the Labour movement should be united in attacking the new Conservative government but instead they're attacking Jeremy Corbyn, many of these plotters were MP's who backed Tony Blair's illegal war in Iraq. The real answer is to de-select and expel the majority of these Labour MP's if they don't support the leader. This split really reflects the difference between an out of touch London based political elite who think they know best, and the rest who have had enough of their arrogant and patronising behaviour. I hope that Jeremy Corbyn gets an even bigger mandate than last year and wipes the floor with all of those treacherous bastards plotting against him.
Anyway, at least we have some positives with Grimsby Town regaining its place back in the football league after a thrilling victory over Forest Green Rovers. I will never forget the moment that Nathan Arnold slotted home the winning goal during injury time that confirmed our promotion. The summer has been taken up with Paul Hurst re-building his squad to take on the football league - starting with Morecambe at Blunder Park on Saturday.
Who knows what the future holds for Grimsby Town, the Grimsby area, the Labour Party, the new Tory government, Brexit or the UK!!!

PS - Toby Young is a twat!
