It might be just me but as half the country and all of the charlatans in Downing Street nimbly jump from ‘greed is good’ to ‘lets stop greedy football clubs because it might win votes’, but I really couldn’t care less. Ok, not too big a secret given that an old post of mine… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 76 – Why does the government care more about rich football clubs than destitute workers?
