When you first started posting on here with all your facts and figures, you dressed them up with the caveat ,you werent expressing any opinion,you were just interpreting figures " because you were good at it"
Ive watched your metamorphosis into political and social comment, and your above post completes that change.
Ive never read anything you post on City related matters.
Just saying like.
Not sure what you are 'just saying'. Or inferring.
I have explained in posts you must have missed why I first came on here years before the pandemic, As the date in 2013 when I first posted visible to all here shows. You might recall that date. I do.
I did not post much up to the pandemic - but sometimes got help so my mum could watch City play when not on TV. I was her full time carer for many years after she was left paralysed by a massive stroke just days before the 2003 last game service at Maine Road that we were going to but by then she was in hospital for months and then required round the clock care and she was unable to go to matches.
She and my dad had been City season ticket holders since long before you were probably born. My dad's ashes were scattered on Maine Road. His name was on the plaque in the tunnel after the move to the Etihad. Hence us going to that service. Though I later took her to see his name on the plaque in the tunnel at the Etihad. After 8 months she came home from hospital in 2004 just in time to watch City v Tottenham in the FA Cup when 3-0 down and playing the entire second half with 10 men and winning 4-3.
That was some homecoming. I often think my dad had some say in that night!
As I have explained before I came in here as I was told about the posts from Gelson's Dad on the data which was from the original without spin. I was looking for that for various reasons I have also explained but will not repeat them here but he sadly got driven off by those seeking ulterior motives that never existed so I had to start tallying up the data myself. Hoping he would return but he never did (unless he took on another name here which I have often thought about doing and could easily understand if he had).
I had the time. the interest, was shielding since March and am retired. Really there was nothing more to it than that.
I have said often and genuinely I have no deep political views or ties and am probably unlike most of you as voting in all elections on issues not parties and so have voted for pretty much every party at one time or another.
The deeper we are into this the more impossible it i to avoid some views on what is happening but views are not political they are just views on what is the right or wrong approach. I am happy to say when things are done right - the vaccination programme and (belatedly but true now) the testing for example. And when not (the tiers which I have opposed from the off because I think they are counter productive). But again these are not forged by politics but their impact on the move towards the end of the pandemic.
It can be hard to separate the data and the decisions from the hype and the politics but I do try as I know there is a thread for that. Which you may notice I do not post in. Sometimes it has to crop up here as it impacts on the decisions taken day to day. And if you are interested in the pandemic and our road through this you have to be interested in how and why we take the paths that we do.
But I mainly come here still to do what I always have. Post the numbers. As a participant in the way these unfold in our day to day lives though I do have a stake and a reason to sometimes comment. It would be pretty pointless doing all this if the real world never intruded into that.
So still not sure what at all you were trying to infer. But I suspect whatever it was misses the truth.
Anyway I helped her watch all the City games she could with some help from in here. That was why I was here and I never regret it. Though hope you never have to face doing the same. It might make you think less cynically about why some people do what they do.
