Yorkshire Saint Posted 26 July, 2022 Share Posted 26 July, 2022 Listening to the leadership debate last night i was not previously aware of Rishi Sunak connection with Southampton. We like our firsts so I can presume he could be the first prime minister and season ticket holder / Saints fan at St Mary's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An echo article from Nov 2020 said his boyhood hero was Matt Le Tissier (bet he keeps that quiet at the moment) and that his Dad was a season ticket holder. He follows Saints on Twitter.

Mr X Posted 26 July, 2022 Share Posted 26 July, 2022 Don't care about his Southampton roots.... Maybe I should but it's irrelevant. He is just trying to pretend he comes from humble roots not a privileged one when it's anything but that... Neither he or his parents and certainly not his wife have ever struggled financially so have no concept of the real world.

Probably why we’re on our knee’s. With Tiss and potentially a Tory PM endorsing our club, could we have 2 of the uk’s most hated people on Twitter supporting us?

Quite clearly a joke, I don't actually think all tories are twats, I definitely think some are (Chris Grayling, Micheal Gove, the entitled money-grabbing politicians whose policies end up costing the country lots of money), but I also think lots of other people are too, not just based on political leanings.

Victor Posted 26 July, 2022 Share Posted 26 July, 2022 7 minutes ago, aintforever said: It's fantastic if immigrants come here and do well, who thinks it's not? Very few I suspect. But anyone who becomes a success owes to those who helped them get there. That is why many believe he should pay his proper share of taxes that pay for the teachers, health workers, roads etc. etc. that helped him on his way. And ensure that his wife does the same. Maybe he doesn't use the roads, have all those bins at his multiple residencies emptied, but he still owes to the society that gives him the opportunities. He didn't become a success in a vacuum that cost nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Kent Saint Posted 26 July, 2022 Share Posted 26 July, 2022 Quite he married into money , I think their massive off shore blind trust is the result of 1% of her Dads firms share they were given ! So a very rich family . I don’t mind him having money but I object to them parking it off shore to avoid paying tax unlike us PAYE plebs. Cameron’s Dad spent his career advising people investing in tax havens as well as himself , Cameron inherited it which is why he can afford a £25k shepherds hut for his estate 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Left Back Posted 26 July, 2022 Share Posted 26 July, 2022 In an attempt to keep this thread football related... It's obvious Rishi's a Saints fan - he's going to finish runner up rather than champion. He's wangled his way into one of the most expensive schools in the country and ended up marrying into a billionaire's family. This is more Man City than Saints (other than perhaps the Marcus rescue period) so I think a bit of envy and bitterness is to be expected. My issue with him having a position of power is that he's too detached from the reality facing the people he's serving. Which is one of the issues I have with club owners' ability to do act in the best interest of fans. They just don't get it. Finally he's a tory, which in my mind makes him like Liverpool. No matter what they do I can't help remembering how they were in the 80s and hating them for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
