The gloves are off.
I don’t like bullies and I feel Mr Lammy like most MP’s is boxing above his pay grade.
You champion the services of a West Ham affiliated Intellectual Property solicitor to wheel out some theoretical hogwash about Spurs being ‘sued’ if they moved don’t change the name? Masterstroke.
By the same logic you could take legal action against numerous individuals passing themselves off as Santa Claus – whilst balancing small children on their laps – in department stores globally every December.
Lammy you’re precisely the sort of guy I wouldn’t want to be stuck in a lift with you self promoting schmuck.
Lots of people waxing lyrical about the past. This little gem isn’t a cherished memory though, is it Dave?
You’re a London MP, with a constituency only 28 minutes away by Tube from Parliament, yet you claimed £12,041 for a second home. Sounds a straight-forward case in the long line of London MPs who had their expense claims widely publicised and heavily criticised during earlier this year? Except this time, there was one difference.
Wasn’t there, Dave?
Watch Tottenham Hotspur live streams
The expense claim was published back in October 2004, got a bit of local media coverage and that was that.
Lucky man, that David Lammy, Labour MP for Tottenham.
From the Haringey Advertiser, 27 October 2004:
HARINGEY taxpayers have been forking out for Tottenham MP David Lammy to rent a second home in south London.
Mr Lammy admitted the expense in the first published account of MPs’ spending, and is among 32 outer London MPs claiming the second home allowance, worth up to £20,333 a year…
Mr Lammy said he stayed at the second home for three nights a week when he was working at Westminster, spending the rest of his week at his main home on the Harringay Ladder, 28 minutes from Westminster by tube.
He claimed £12,041 for the home between April 2003 and March 2004.
28 minutes away. You absolute rotter, Dave.
Disgusting bloke this one, has no problem claiming public money for his second home but can’t push for public money for our home. West Ham are not going to get the stadium, they’re not the financially viable option & imagine the sight lines with the running track all the way round, would be a waste of money/ time giving it to the spammers
It’s a no brainer for people like Dave. Lead a ‘moral’ crusade. They always sound worthy. Hurrah!
Crusades are expensive.
But then creatures like Lammy rarely pay the bill…
Far, far easier to pick Levy & Co’s pocket.
Rather West Ham get it than us tbh.
It would force Levy to stop being an idiot and stick with the original plans which were absolutely perfect to begin with!!
– Brand-spanking-new 56,824 capacity stadium WITH retained atmosphere thanks to collaboration with sound engineers!!!
– Regenerated public space in the surrounding area of Haringey to make it look less like Gangland.
– Shops, hotels, restaurants and museum of Spurs.
– Historical maintenance and regeneration; Red Lion Pub to be reopened, the timeless golden cockerel to still stand proud on top of the stadium + a statue to be sculpted of Sir Bill Nicholson standing outside the famous iron gates to the Football Club, which would stay in the same spot they’ve always been.
Why are the club’s board looking to throw that all away for a non football-friendly olympic stadium which they’re only going to butcher further, practically surrender North London to Arsenal once and for all, risk a total boycott of the club AND for the budding philanthropists amongst you, cut off the great charity work which the club’s foundation do on a regular basis!?
Simples..Money makes the world go round, Dave..
I’ve been through all of his receipts with a fine tooth comb and I cant see any for stockings, suspenders, oranges or amyl nitrate anywhere. He’s definitely dodgy.
Cold Ethyl PI :ninja:
I’ve never lied to you, I’ve always been cool,
I wanna be elected.
Yeah, I’m a Sony, you’re Panasonic
I’m heavy metal, you’re philharmonic…
From the album “Zipper catches skin”. Probably the feelin we’ll all get when the move to Stratford is officially announced. :cwy:
Back stage supplies for the Killer tour?
Yes please!
Unbelievable and so weird that we’re all wasting energy criticising a man who’s trying to keep Tottenham FC in Tottenham.
Perhaps Lammy’s tactics are a little bullying and he winds you up but at least he is doing something constructive and trying to keep the ground in N17. Something a lot of people feel passionate about.
A much more interesting piece would have been about your thoughts on where the stadium should be built. But you do comedy trivia and not thought provoking posts.
Cue HH attempt at comedy one liner :)
My views will be unleashed a second time in a matter of days, fret not!
I’m just giving this illustrious champion a dose of his own nonsense.
I’d love to stay in N17. I really would. But poncing oafs like this are actually part of why if it does happen, as a Club, as a team on the field, we’ll be lessened by it.
Do I care about Lammy on the take in 2004? But he does have a point about calling E15 Tottenham. Is Danny boy paying you to write this blog? Don’t sell out Harry – that really shurely be lamentable….
I am a big fat sell out.
Yours sincerely,
H Hotsquirt.
*was that okay, ENIC? Love n hugs, the Harry Hotspur Team*
Levy doing all right at the moment, he’ll do the right thing for Spurs. Be it Stratford or staying put
I bowled an over against Mr Lammy at a Tottenham primary school cricket comp in my youth. I hit him square on the bonce with one delivery, and right in the nuts with another. Unfortunately, for us, the ball was of the orange, quick-cricket variety. If only, if only………
