The post you are reporting:
Gee, shucks, Barry. I feel utterly deflated now over the dismissive football-hating comments! Not all us football supporters are knuckle-dragging no-marks, you know.
A large swathe of us have more than a few braincells to rub together (particularly we chucklesome coves at Crabble - White Army!) - unlike many politicos and aspiring politicos. I mean, look at some of the rampant illiteracy on this forum, in the name of (yawn) 'reds' v 'blues'. God help my home town (you are an articulate exception, may I add). But back to the footie: try your local team some time, you might like it. We're a top bunch up the hill at DAFC. Grassroots Dovorians and proud, through and through.
And to think I was going to vote for your lot - I ask you! (I may still, but that's between me and my friendly local ballot box). However, I'm listing heavily back towards Gwyn. He's been a good MP for us and is a true honorary Dovorian by dint of his longevity working and living in the town. And he's a nice man who really cares - which goes a long way, or should. I suspect he will sneak back in with a small majority.
Cheers and enjoy telly bunfight part one tonight - White Army!
