Mixed feelings this morning, the very rude (to me anyway) @BuckCllr loses his council seat, but to the nut jobs that are @reformsouthend surely people will tire of and see through this far right populism soon 🤔

[John Austin @JohnAustin101]

@KemiBadenoch I think that started with the buffoon known as Boris Johnson, then spread like a disease through your party.

[John Austin @JohnAustin101]

@kelvinfinan Again a matter of opinion as to whether it’s an insult, I personally wouldn’t don’t think so, but we’ll never agree on that.

[John Austin @JohnAustin101]

@kelvinfinan As for the chairman’s comments, it’s a matter of opinion. I personally wouldn’t be insulted by that, but some are more sensitive than others

[John Austin @JohnAustin101]

@kelvinfinan Also our governance is fully up to date in line with the standards set by the FSA

[John Austin @JohnAustin101]

@kelvinfinan I’m not sure how an organisation run by volunteers can be ‘professional’, but it is run professionally as it can be. All documentation stored on paid for cloud servers/collaborative platforms, all GDPR compliant. Not sure every CBS can claim that.

[John Austin @JohnAustin101]

@kelvinfinan Certainly, but define tinpot and how it applies to the trust as I asked, then I’ll move onto your comments

[John Austin @JohnAustin101]

@RichardMander40 @BernieFriend38 I think the timings spot on. Many players out of contract so work starts on that imminently I expect. Also the restructure had to be put in place before the end of the season so as not to disrupt pre-season

[John Austin @JohnAustin101]

@SimonCalder I have premium economy flights LHR-HAN with Vietnam Airlines. At the time of booking I selected free seats. I recently explored an upgrade to business, without buying it. They have now removed my premium seats even though I didn’t upgrade, can they do that?

[John Austin @JohnAustin101]

@kelvinfinan @shrimperstrust Record keeping is spot on, all in line with the FSA

[John Austin @JohnAustin101]

@kelvinfinan @shrimperstrust And I do

[John Austin @JohnAustin101]

@kelvinfinan @shrimperstrust All my record keeping is up to date 👍

[John Austin @JohnAustin101]

@kelvinfinan @shrimperstrust They don’t need to run it past me, this stuff is basic, why don’t you understand?

[John Austin @JohnAustin101]

@kelvinfinan @shrimperstrust It’s not the secretary’s remit, why can you not understand that, it’s not difficult

[John Austin @JohnAustin101]

@kelvinfinan @shrimperstrust Not according to the fine folk at the FSA I’m not 👍

[John Austin @JohnAustin101]

@kelvinfinan @shrimperstrust No. I pass it on to the relevant board member, why is that so hard to understand?

[John Austin @JohnAustin101]

@kelvinfinan @shrimperstrust If you’ve been involved with a supporters trust and don’t understand the secretary’s role, then that’s suggests to me tinpot might better used elsewhere 🤣
I follow you because I find angry little men funny 🤣

[John Austin @JohnAustin101]

@kelvinfinan @shrimperstrust You clearly don’t understand the role of the secretary do you 🤣
And FYI, the Trust is fully compliant with best practices and guidelines issued by the FSA 👍
