So I get two emails in fairly quick succession on the blog about Comrade John Cook. I got a rather nice email from a person called Clive:
Hi James
Just reading your blog, John Cook is no Town fan, Iain Dale made the same assumption when he was chosen as candidate http://iaindale.blogspot.com/2009/11/norwich-north-labour-party-gives-up-on.html but John is a season ticket holding Norwich city fan, which should at least garner him some sympathy from blues supporters in Ipswich

Compare that polite tone to Comrade Alasdair Ross, a man that parents pay thousands of pounds a year to teach their children good manners:

Need to check your facts, J Cook is a Norwich fan, Norwich born and a City season ticket holder. John supervised the ITFC Trust elections as a neutral and as an expert on election counts, that is why his name is on the Trust page. By John doing it, we (the Trust) saved a considerable amount of cash that could be used for the benefit of fans.
Of course John Cook was neutral and Alasdair Ross was a succesful candidate. Oh well. It’s a small cosy circle in the Ipswich Labour Party.
Comrade Ross didn’t tell us if John Cook has sold his home, because that’s where he’ll consider his roots to be, whatever he says on his election leaflet – he wasn’t exactly keen to put his support for Norwich on his Ipswich leaflets. A mortgage is a bigger financial commitment than a season ticket. Even in Norwich.
I also note that Comrade Ross didn’t defend John Cook’s IQ. But even a private school rugby coach knows when he shouldn’t fight.
