The Lib Dems can already expect trouble getting re-elected to Parliament from constituencies in places like Sheffield, where there are large student populations, because of what is seen as a betrayal over the introduction of £9,000 a year fees.
In Manchester they may just have thrown away any (slim) hope they might have had of filling the gap with votes from those whose children are pretty unlikely (statistically speaking) to go to university.
They may not mind the Rich Footballer being cut down to size, but not all premiership players fall into this category.
Some of them fall into the category of Our Boy.
Such voters may mete out to arrogant MPs the same treatment they gave the Sun newspaper in Liverpool. You can’t expect to treat one of our boys like this & get away with it.
Especially not just before a very, very Big Match.
But John Hemming MP has different concerns. He doesn’t like anybody going after twitters. Internet security of all kinds is close to his heart - he was ‘the first person outside the USA to implement the main SSL World Wide Web security protocol. He is one of the world's leading internet technical experts and programs in eight different programming languages.’
And maybe he’s just sore about Birmingham City being relegated from the Premier League, while Manchester United are champions. Brummies are also sore that some people think that Manchester, not Birmingham, is England’s Second City.
Or perhaps he just does not know very much about football.
Note: Hemming (51), a married father of 3 plus 1, has always been honest about his extramarital affairs.
