| Quote Fishermanscap="Fishermanscap"A bit O/T. This is a post about politics but I myself am not political as frankly, I don't need any group to tell me how to think. Also in the overall terms of the pandemic, this is small potatoes I realise that but this is, after all, a RL forum.
However, Coronavirus has just inadvertently produced a major example of the political shift that has taken place in the UK.
The 16m pound loan to the game may or may not be enough who knows, but there is a huge political irony in our receiving it at all.
You see for all the class warrior stuff that still persists in the North and around the game it is now a complete myth. Class structure will never die and all countries have one but the one we have desperately been hanging onto is clearly gone, hooray!
Truth is and like it or not had the Corbyn Labour party got in we wouldn't have got the loan. So far away from its roots have the Labour party gone that to a middle-class cosmopolitan London based politician like Jeremy RL wouldn't even have registered. He would have happily let the game die, hard to take but true.
Now the Conservative, most of whom also don't give a toss for RL know what side their bread is buttered. Let there be in no doubt here, that money is our reward. It's not 13 pieces of silver, I say that before someone else uses the tiresome quote, it's a recognition that in voting terms the North is now where it matters.
Inadvertently the virus has highlighted this, It's not the way any of us wanted it but it truly illustrates whats happened. I never thought I'd see the day where RL counted as a vote winner for a Conservative Government. Is it good or bad? Time will tell but for now, it's vital.'"

It's not worth getting into it pal. Some people create their own reality on hypotheticals and imagination.

There you go chief, in case you missed it, it's the opening lines to his post, just like yourself when you get on your political soapbox he's airing his [uopinion[/u not based on facts, the difference is that he's deliberately started a thread on that subject and not used any other thread and hijacked it to try and score petty and meaningless political points.

I'm constantly amazed at the sheer number of experts who have arisen since the December election, and during the Coronovirus crisis, who seem to know exactly what Jeremy Corbyn would or wouldn't have done in the past 4-5 months.
