The furlough thing is still poorly defined but while there's no restriction on it, football clubs are going to take advantage of it. They'll all do anything to make or save a buck. Be interesting to see if anyone uses it for players. I've no idea what that would mean contractually. Could even see clubs, probably lower down the pyramid, putting some players on it but keeping paying the ones they daren't risk losing for nothing. Quote

Factotum Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Her stance on Scottish Independence and Labour the last few years just came across as incredibly smug. The main thing they went after her was on the fact she said she believed biological sex was a real thing. Got into it with the Trans rights people. On that i have more sympathy for her, but I enjoyed the pile on as she lives in a fucking castle. Quote
Steve Justice Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 If I had her money I'd live in a castle too. Surrounded by a moat of molten lava to keep the peasants and their Covid-19 away. Quote

For years I was convinced I'd read that she used to live in a bin when she was really hard up before Harry Potter. Turns out that never happened. I was so sure as well. As you were. Quote

Members SuperBacon Posted March 31, 2020 Members Posted March 31, 2020 God, we've had people defending HP businesses. Now we're about to out some TERFs. Can we not all talk about the virus instead? Quote
Factotum Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Quote Why? Simply as what she said wasn't proportionate to the backlash she received. I just didn't like the pile on nature of it was all. Didn't say I agreed or disagreed with her. I'm not informed enough to have an opinion on it. Quote

Then you're in no position to comment on whether the backlash was proportionate enough. Quote
Factotum Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 @Devon Malcolm Fair enough. I take that point Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 31, 2020 Moderators Posted March 31, 2020 Pretty safe bet with a Twitter pile on though..! Quote
