However, borrowing to stop people starving and society breaking down during a pandemic is a requirement for any govt. No true socialist would use that stick to beat a govt. whatever its persuasion. So pointing out that a government who were elected by continually ridiculing a socialist and his policies, backed up by their pals in the media, who then use socialist policies is to applauded for doing something that by your own account any government would do?

He does seem to be trying to eradicate it though. https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/burnley-chairman-ceo-statement-after-18473835 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're suggesting that borrowing to prevent the collapse of the UK during a pandemic is a socialist policy. It isn't. I haven't at any stage applauded this govt. If, however, they hadn't offered 80% Furlough rates and large grants for Business, unemployment would be running at somewhere between 20 and 30%. Attempting to prevent that should be the normal action of any capitalist govt. Unfortunately I don't believe it will do much more than pass the pain down the line and slow the decline into recession. I pointed out the seriousness of the situation through the borrowing example merely to highlight the critical position that we're in. While Rome burns, people are being told to stay at home and wash their hands. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so serious. On the plus side, there is a fair chance that the worst aspects of the recession will be temporary and last little more than a year or two. For many though, it will mean joblessness, homelessness and all the horrors that go with that. I see no evidence that the opposition in Westminster or the SG really have a handle on that. We will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How’s about bailing out businesses like British Airways who get a handout and then sack workers they’ve had on furlough, the very reason for the scheme was to keep folk in jobs.

JackLadd Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Not defending the WLM Burnley flag, but the black power salutes going on from some black players on the pitch irks me. These dudes getting paid millions a year with their trophy white wags emulating something that emerged from 1960s black America and throwing it into our faces as if they can even remotely identify with segregation and Jim Crow in the American south. This country is not the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not the brightest, been set up by others to take the fall. Doesn’t even realise he’s racist, not uncommon unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course white lives matter but proclaiming it as a slogan is being seen now by many as a symbol of white supremacy. and racism. Just like the symbolism of the swastika changed in the 1930s. Before that it was a symbol of good luck, but absolutely nobody would be fooling anybody else if they tried to claim that was their intention at displaying a swastika now.

Fast forward ten years and he’ll probably be on an AFC message board or whatever team he supports, getting righteously indignant about some young lad doing something similar somewhere else. 😄 By chucking stupid shite like this in to the mix beside letters telling people they have to move out of their homes or be burnt to death, the media does the topic no favours.
