As you probably know, Dan Jarvis is hoping to be the Labour candidate for city region mayor. He’s in the last two and Labour party members are being ballotted to select their preferred candidate. In his policy document he claims to be a Barnsley FC fan. However, I’ve seen elsewhere (wikepedia) that he’s a Notts Forest supporter. Anyone know what the truth is? This could be the clincher for me!
He's a Nottingham lad, but has said that since representing Barnsley he's now a Barnsley fan. As far as politicians go, he's not the worst.
From Wikipedia Early life Jarvis was born on 30 November 1972[1] in Nottingham, the son of a lecturer at a teacher-training college and a probation officer, both Labour Party members.[2] He attended Lady Bay Primary School and then went on to study at Rushcliffe School. He and his brother Rob Jarvis are fans of Nottingham Forest, with both as children failing to gain tickets in the ballot for the 1989 F.A. Cup semi-final between Forest and Liverpool at which the Hillsborough disaster took place.[3] He studied international politics at Aberystwyth University.[4] He graduated in 1996 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Politics and Strategic Studies.[5] He graduated with an MA in Conflict, Security & Development from King's College London in 2011. Not only a Forest fan - but he's trying somehow to get some kudos from being a forest fan at the time of the Hillsborough Disaster even though he didn't go. Both him and Michael Dugher who used to represent Barnsley South and Mexborough were Nottingham Forest fans. He also stabbed Jeremy Corbyn in the back with the vote of no confidence Dan Jarvis voted along with 66 other Labour MPs for military action in Syria If either of those have any impact on whether you want him anywhere near representing you. I'd say he's only a Barnsley fan in that if he said he wasn't - that would be a stupid thing to do. As far as politicians go - yep - this feckers a poltiican.
Out of interest, why would you include details of a match you never attended in your background blurb? I'm Plankton Pete and I didn't attend the World Cup Final in 1966.
So what he's basically saying is that he's not busy enough as an MP for tyke town and he now wants to fill his bank account even more whilst the people he's supposed to represent can hardly rub two pennies together. Greedy fecker !!!!!!!
He grew up a Forest fan. Attaching himself to the Reds and claiming to be a fan is mere political expediency.
True. Better than Cameron claiming to support Villa and then saying he'd rather people support West Ham though.
