Fake account or not, it's the self entitlement of the man. And how does he think it works?

How it works in Ian's head:

Sarah who singlehandedly runs Tesco's twitter account: "Oh no! An important councillor from an area in Oxfordshire has alerted us to some illegal activity! Our avocadoes have been stickered incorrectly. He let the staff in the store know of the crime, yet when he returned later he found the offence was still occuring!"

Claire, Sarah's superior: "OMG really?!? Let me drop everything I'm doing and personally phone up their branch manager and insist they remove all of their avocado stickers and replace them with correct ones at once!!"


How it would work in reality:

Sarah: "Hey Claire, check this out... Some old busybody in a small town has complained about our avocado stickers. He's claiming they're illegal."

Claire: "Illegal avocado stickers? Lol what? That's a first."

Sarah: "Yep. Anyway, I know you're just as busy as I am, so I'll just follow standard company procedure and direct him to contact our dedicated complaints department, so that they can resolve that matter properly, seeing we work in the marketing department and have absolutely no involvement in these matters at all."

Claire: "I'm sure he'll understand. He can hardly expect us to take on roles that have absolutely no relevance to our jobs and experience. Any idea what he does?"

Sarah: "He dealt in diamonds, and now is a minor figure in local government."

Claire: "Oh, really connected jobs... Is this branch in his constituency then? I suppose that kinda makes sense why he would be raising this..."

Sarah: "Nope, totally different town. Not even nearby."

Claire: "I see..."

Sarah: "Yep..."

Claire: "Anyway, did you get that email I sent about this afternoon's meeting with..."

And so Sarah and Claire go on with their lives. Claire never thinks about this incident ever again. Sarah does (for just a split second) in 4 years' time when she goes to buy an avocado and realises she can't scan it because the barcode sticker has accidentally peeled off. "Illegal avocado stickers. That would be a good name for a band..."

I wonder if Sarah and Claire are aware of how universally hated Ian is back in Oxfordshire

Unfortunately his name has spread throughout Oxfordshire - I can't help feeling that we give him (and FoSB for that matter) too much oxygen on these boards, without which they would probably have remained a footnote in the stadium project long ago.

And internationally, for those of us exiles living abroad.

Perhaps this was his intention all along? Maybe he couldn't care less about the stadium, but is using this as a platform to grow international fame? Infamy is fame none the less.

Bit of an odd way to do it, but I can imagine he has newspaper cuttings of articles from the fail with his little photo in hung up in his living room

Know your enemy I say. Art of War and all that.

The thing is this board has called out FoSB and KPC on their reckless attempted spending of taxpayers money. We are on the right side of history.

The Ballad of the Avocado Avenger

Behold! In aisles of ripened green,
Where hummus dreams and limes convene,
A hero paused mid-shopping quest —
With furrowed brow and civic chest.

For there, beneath fluorescent light,
Lay avocados — label-less! A fright!
No distant land declared in ink,
No birthplace stamped in tidy print.

“O horror foul!” the watchdog cried,
“Transparency has surely died!
What shadowed grove bore thee to shelf?
Speak, fruit! Declare thy righteous self!”

He summoned forth the digital steed,
His glowing phone of noble deed,
And tagged the titan of the tills:
“Attend, O merchant of the hills!”

“To Westwood Thanet haste thee now!
Compliance bends before my brow.
A legal wrong stalks produce fair —
And I alone have seen it there.”

The staff were told. The fruit remained.
The moral thunder unrestrained.
For lo — the public must be shown
This avocado overthrown.

“Please file a form,” the giant pled,
“Our process keeps complaints well fed.”
But from the heights of virtue’s peak
Came answer sharp, concise, unique:

“I’ve given enough. The case is clear.
Your systems bend when I appear.”
Why trudge through portals, queues, and gates
When righteousness accelerates?

No ticket number shall he seek,
No dropdown box, no formique mystique.
For heroes do not wait their turn —
They tweet. They glare. They let brands burn.

And thus the avocado stood,
Unlabelled still — misunderstood.
Yet somewhere in the moral skies,
A halo gained a subtle size.

For justice blooms where hashtags grow,
And supermarket empires know:
When fruit forgets its native shore,
A tweet shall knock upon their door.

Not quiet forms nor patient thread —
But public virtue, brightly spread.
The avocado may remain,
But oh — the spotlight was obtained.
 
Maybe he should be asking Tesco to stop selling avocados instead.

They are grown over 5500 miles away, need around 320 litres of water to produce each fruit, shipped in energy intensive refrigerated units with the growing areas subject to deforestation, loss of local fauna and flora and have links to local gang culture and coercive practices.

Maybe he was looking for a “Product of Hampton Poyle” sticker…..

Sounds a bit like the thing he used to sell - diamonds!
 
I think the past couple of posts from @Toe knee and @Emilio show that football supporters at OUFC are not knuckle heads and have shown tremendous humour.
At every opportunity the likes of. Middleton , FoSB , KPC et al have tried to wind us up hoping for the sort of response where they could say “told you so, they are foul mouthed hooligans” but what has actually happened is we have countered all their lies with facts and have done it in a robust but fair way. Every argument they have come up with has been knocked back some times with fantastic humour, it would have been so easy for us to post a nasty response but that has never happened.
We should be proud of ourselves, every time we have countered on Next Door, Facebook or even the shite Oxford Mail we have been calm and stated the facts.
As they read this I think that they should acknowledge that this clubs supporters ( and Mr Batt) have been nothing but fair in all our responses
