It feels a bit like you’re creating a nonsense argument rather than acknowledge this latest Tory-endorsed pisstaking of the taxpayer.

Personally, I think they are separate things. It's right that companies have access to interest free loans to get them through the pandemic. Are you saying that if they take a loans, they must be banned from making any political donations? That's interference in the internal affairs of the company.

Yes. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable position to take if you aren’t a Tory apologist.

I’d go with: companies skint enough to require emergency loans at the state’s expense can’t simultaneously donate money to a political party.

Suppose the MD buys a new company porsche? Suppose the board all take expensive company sponsored holidays in Las Vegas? Suppose they use the money to bring in a cordon bleu chef for lunchtimes? How many conditions are you going to place on a loan?

Im certainly in agreement with the government over the booster jabs. Whether everyone gets one or is just offered one remains to be seen. As for the vaccine passports, i cant and never will be able to get on board with that. Totally wrong in my opinion.

That's fine, however I don't get why you need to come on the QPR board on the ‘politics thread’ and start responding to my posts when they are meant for QPR fans that I know. Bit strange tbh.
If I wanted to discuss political issues with people I don't know I would go on some other political forum. Cheers

Don't be so parochial, I can come on here if I want. And I know quite a few of the decent chaps on here too.
