If something happens for the good of our chosen sport then that's great and who cares about the politics behind it!
Me. And so should everyone else; but if you think it's unimportant then you are free to disagree or not engage in the discussion.
I hadn't realised the thought-police had taken over the forum.
I see a political aspect to some stories - not "everything" is political for me despite what
@Scoosh claimed above, if you look at my posting history then you'll find that; but never let the truth get in the way, eh?
As you can see from the Guardian article, I am not the only one who sees a political angle in the story.
The majority of my "political" posts are in the politics part of the forum, and fairly infrequent, but I have also engaged in highlighting what I think are political aspects in other areas - some people disagree with me, fine. I am imagining that scoosh's response was because he thinks there is either nothing political in the story and thinks that I am "overly political" compared to him, or that he supports the Tories and doesn't like people trying to disparage their leaders, or that I have in some way given a political view elsewhere which he disagrees with and he is using this thread to have a wee rant at me, or something else entirely; whatever it is, he is entitled to his opinion, and I should be entitled to reply
If the moderators wish to post on this thread and tell me to pipe down then so be it - it will confirm my view that the majority are neo-liberal unionists who fear dissenting voices
The fact of the matter is that there are political aspects to stories which to some appear "innocent" - open your mind, you'll maybe see them as well.
