Political football

A bad week just got worse with the Guardian revealing that West Ham's accounts show the club made a donation of £9000 to the Conservative Party during the car crash Premiership of Liz Truss. That's partly money belonging to ticket-buyers and TV consumers like us. WHU also donated £12,500 to the Tories in 2016. Far better to use the cash to reduce ticket prices. Fair enough if David Sullivan or Karren Brady want to make private donations, but club money should not be wasted on donating to any political party, be it Conservative, Labour, Lib Dem, Green or Monster Raving Loony Party.
