The Club and every single fan-based locally should be putting pressure on Graham Brady to get Altrincham and Sale West out of tier 3 and into 2.
If not, that man should never be allowed to step foot in our ground again for his every-four-year photo op.

He is a voice in the Wilderness
One of the few Tory's who does not want to see unemployment rise by 1.3M people by the Summer.

I think you got it right before the edit. Don’t get me started on Brady. No Graham and certainly no Sir from me. Knighted for services to self interest.

Funnily enough, he won't respond the messages unless he's addressed as a Sir Graham as I learnt today when emailing him

That actually is funny. What an absolute arsehole.
I had dealings with Brady a couple of years ago and he was as much a parody of an arrogant T**t as he was an arrogant T**t.

He will be voting against Traffords inclusion of Greater Manchester.

I do reckon if you were on the other side of the street and shouted arsehole across to Brady he’d turn round, so he does answer to his most appropriate title.

spot on. He’d take arsehole as a compliment. Arseholes do have a purpose and come in useful.

Decent bloke in my dealings with him!

Maidenhead United's MP is Sir Teresa May. Who knighted Brady for what he did in 1922, or something.

He never replied to an email I sent to him last year.
He doesn’t care, he knows he will get voted in every year.
His job must be the easiest in the country. He Knows he will never get voted out.

Perhaps we could win him over by launching a crowdfunding campaign to buy him a new milk frother, as the one that he previously claimed on expenses has probably seen better days by now?

Stuck between a rock and a hard place though; nobody can deny that restrictions are required, however the underpinning financial support from the government is nowhere to be seen.
Tiered restrictions are better than no restrictions - but it all stinks.

There's no winners.
It's right to pressure the govt at all times, especially now. They can and should do better, but cases will rise, and deaths will follow if we don't contain this.
Move to Easter, a far far far brighter world then.

When a good number of Tory MPs are to the left of a similar number of Labour MPs we are goosed, Difficult to know where to go politically now other than the wilderness. The two party system is deceased. Still, good news about the chocolate oranges.

Cor strewth, I leave it for a couple of weeks and it's all covid and getting political. Time for the covid (Metropolitan) police to step in?!
See you all in a few weeks if covid/politics/too many restrictions don't get in the way!
nuts...

I was aghast when Starmer made a press statement condemning the government for ruining businesses and the economy. I honestly believe he is under the impression that abstaining from voting is the same as voting against.
-
As explained yesterday on Politics Today nobody wants to abstain but it is the least unacceptable of a selection of undesirable options.
The target of dealing with COVID is shared so to vote against might imperil progress. However the mechanisms being employed are not those preferred or suggested by the Opposition.
Therefore abstention is the best of a bad lot

Best of a bad lot sums up all the options for most of us.

Maybe I am being daft here...…….but if an elected MP (any party allegiance) believes something is 'drastic, incorrect. draconian, unfair, over-the-top, unjustified etc. (all words used in TV interviews), then why do they not vote against it and bring forward or propose an alternative measure ?
Debates about Scotch eggs and suggestions you take your own knive and forks to your in-laws for Christmas dinner, would suggest they have time to put together a proper, coherent, fit for purpose plan that all parties can agree on.

You talk far too much sense to ever make it to parliament.

If any of you feel hard done by having Sir Graham as your MP, consider yourselves lucky you don't have an SNP MP or MSP!

Today? Strewth, give the man a chance, he gets loads of e-mails, and a fair few from outside the area. Why don't you just use the proper title, whatever you think of it? It doesn't cost anything to be polite!
-
He replied but ignored the football aspect.
He will be voting against Traffords inclusion of Greater Manchester.
He gets loads of mail on this subject so probably just tends to give a general reply. If he gets enough letters on a suject, I'm sure he'll take it into account. Of course we could always run our own political campaign like Charlton did, if we could agree on a party line!

Give over, when have we had these sort of restrictions before? (Voluntary) targeted help would be better, and we could have gold plated targeted help for a fraction of the cost of these restrictions. The fact of the matter is that "disaster zone" Sweden has, from July 2019 to July 2020, seen deaths that are average or below the average of the last five years, apart from over 80's, which have seen a one per cent rise. These restrictions make little difference.
I am happy to restrict these comments to the OT thread (and there are plenty of comments on there) but not if people are putting politics and calls for extreme restrictions (that are ruining people's lives) all over the place on the Altrincham fc first team forum.

You would say that though, wouldn't you? Difference of management, not difference of approach. What opposition there is to this madness appears to have been led by Sir Graham Brady.
You can be sure there'll be an opposition come the May elections if this nonsense isn't sorted out.

For those who haven't seen Hugh's Sweden narrative debunked in the off topic thread, Sweden have suffered massive infection and death rates compared to their neighbours who did lock down.
They're actually really struggling right now

Couldn't he get his wife to respond, as doesn't he just happen to employ her as his Senior Research/Parliamentary Assistant at a reported salary of circa £45k?

Graham Brady only got knighted due the deal that got may as leader. He wanted Andrea Ledsom as leader but cut a deal that gave her a nice secure position of power that isn't tainted by Brexit, may became leader with out the in fighting and some might remember, when May came to power the only controversial thing she did in the first month was the opening of more grammar schools all over the uk which a certain Mr Brady has a hard on for.. as they say what a coincidence!!! and the cherry on the cake for him was the Knighthood which he has always desired.

Andrew Western of Trafford and all three local MPs have asked for Trafford to be moved into tier 2, so it's not right to say the opposition is being led by Mr Brady.
If you mean opposition to restrictions full stop, rather than the implementation and, management of them, well there was a march of anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists in Manchester last weekend featuring Piers Corbyn, if he would like to be associated with them.

anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists.
Bloody fruitcakes.

Andrew Western asked about a week after Brady, at least publicly.
Western could have pushed his own party to not abstain.

I did use the proper title, I just found it odd that his website would demand its use if you expect a response.

I don't think a council leader has so much influence in the national party; I can see why the Labour Party abstained, although it's not a good look at all, I agree.
Brady keeps on being mentioned in the media as an "influential" MP, but his party appear to ignore him!
Despite the previous two sentences, my earlier comment was not party political but to show that all mainstream politicians in Trafford, as far as I know, are aiming for tier two status; that doesn't apply in all boroughs in Greater Manchester.

Many knights also insist on this, like Sir Nick Faldo for instance. Not really any different to calling a Doctor "Dr!" as it is a title earned, even if in a different way.

Their hospitals are overwhelmed now not from the initial wave. As the article states, they're receiving help from their locked down neighbors who funnily enough aren't overwhelmed. I can't be arsed arguing with people so determined to ignore all the evidence.

I've had dealings with Brady and can assure you courtesy is something he doesn't deserve. Every respect for any kind of doctor as they've earned it through hard graft and ability. His knighthood was achieved by neither. In the words of AP a narcistic pimp.

checked this: they have only half the deaths per head than we have had, and just a third over the last couple of weeks.

Brady isn't my MP and I'm not one to defend him, but on Covid restrrictions he does at least have an unblemished record of being a thorn in the Government's side and arguing to keep Trafford out of Tier 3.
-
I suspect that were it a tighter vote he would quickly return to his True Blue persona to ensure a Tory victory.
His objections, whilst clearly welcome, are I would suggest entirely superficial.

I'd be careful about letting political affiliations cloud your judgement here. There's far more chance of fans in football grounds under a Tory administration than anyone else.
