Did anyone catch what Yvette Cooper was talking about at half time ? I wasn't taking much notice, but i think it was something to do with money for the new stadium.

She was saying she might put her hand in her pocket and find some spare money....oops ... she already done that one.......

it was about the castleford tigers trust, i think it is for young players in the community.


good donation from mendahose though.

where is she from exactly

I think she was also talking about businesses investing in the new stadium, but like i said, i wasn't taking much notice.

Investment into the schools and community programmes that the club runs.

She's from Doncaster originally.

From Scotland. a career politition the worst kind, holds labour values my ar5e, she was given this seat because its a safe New labour seat. and until the voters realise these new labour members have no interest in their constituants needs only their own survival we will be stuck with this sort of parasite....

Bit harsh that tigerman1+1
It's good that we've got her and Ed behind us, we need their support to make sure this stadium project goes through.
She's not from Scotland, where did you get that from? have you listened to her accent?

She's from Inverness [url=http://www.yvettecooper.com/bio01_dw.htmBIOG[/url

I stand corrected, I remember when she was first selected as candidate for Cas & Pont being told she was from Doncaster, obviously that information was incorrect.

Think you will find she grew up in Cas mate

Went to school in Hampshire [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yvette_CooperWIKI.[/url Not the most reliable source, obviously. Not that it really matters where she's from.

Interesting bit of info (to me and probably binks only). My lad designed her christmas cards when he was 4.

never been near the place till she got a house in the potteries so she could stand has our MP

Bit like the Cockney toss pot in Hull West, Alan 'so smug' Johnson

She doesnt live in the potteries she lives up queens park hill.

She does now but when she first came as MP she got the place in the potteries as her constituency house.

Ah right, only know she lives near me because my dog once invaded a garden party for local bigwigs at her house!

I dont think its right that someone who is not from our area should be entitled to represent us,

Even thought the people of the area voted for her? Sod democracy hey … what do the voters know?

I agree, to a certain extent - I think there should be a rule whereby a candidate should have lived in the area for at least 5 years, otherwise you get party bigwigs and mates of the leaders parachuted in.

Eeeh, bit of politics on an RL forum! We are intelligent!

If labour put osama bin laden up as a candidate people would vote for him , the people of cas always vote labour, the actual MP is largely irrelevent, for what its worth i think cooper does a good job by and large.

Nothing tb or they wouldnt vote for .
not wanting to get all political here cos i could go on and on. but the only thing that affiliates her to the labour party is her membership of the TUG iirc, now many people in this area vote labour because labour represents the working man, well not any more, the new labour party is a mush of Labour and tory to apease and hopefully claim both sets of voters, some members still hold true labour values but not Yvette and her husband a Blairite (spit) and a Brownite (bigger spit) in a couple both given easy seats. NEW LABOUR are more in the pockets now of businesses than most unions infact a number of unions know this and have either reduced or even stopped contributions to the party coffers.
