As a general rule we try and keep away from politics. Some other Forums are happy with that, but that's not the position taken here. There has been occasional Brexit banter, but that invariably ends up with people having polarised positions that do not change. This then descends into childish mud-slinging (in fact much like the way our politicians behave). In turn that makes things harder to moderate as things stray from Rovers specific topics. If other mods have a different view - then please chip in. I think an anchor probably is appropriate. (And I'm not using cockney rhyming slang for politicians).

Just wondering how rovers would manage with possibly as high as 50 % of its fan base being there or there abouts

Just in the interest of balance and before the inevitable anchor appears, I'd like to say that I thought the PM spoke well at the initial news conference and did the sensible thing in listening to and taking the advice of experts. He offered the government advice, which for the large part sporting organisations and others chose to ignore, and now has the tricky task of changing that advice on a daily basis based on whatever crops up during the course of the previous day, all this while many members of the general public panic and spread misinformation on social media. Boris Johnson and his bunch of cronies, I think will prove to be an awful government for huge numbers of the population for a whole variety of reasons, but on this issue, I think he is doing pretty well. This is me, Rex Lowther, supporting Boris Johnson on an issue, make a note of the date, it's a once in a lifetime thing.

You wanted to raise a very valid point about the way that our "generally older" football supporters could be disadvantaged and effected by potential legislation / Govt advice given to the over 70's. Great. BUT - you have obviously set out your political agenda in your thread title. This then invites a "right vs left" argument which is not welcome, even in these days when the only televised football is Russian, Australian and occasional National League!

FWIW - Sadiq Khan spoke on LBC and was very balanced and had praise for Boris Johnson (and this despite being excluded from COBRA meetings). So this is eppinggas, supporting Sadiq Khan on an issue, make a note of the date, it's a once in a lifetime thing.

Same here My problem is I dont trust any politician,and as such i treat everything they say with a high degree of scepticism and think what is in it for them.i may be in the minority but that's me,i would have made the same comment whichever party leader said it

In order to bring the issues at hand into sharp relief, the government have decided to rename their strategy of combating Covid 19 as;
THE PENSIONS LIABILITY REDUCTION PROGRAMME.
To facilitate this everyone aged 70 or over will be confined to their current living spaces. This will be enforced by troops stationed in key areas in villages, towns and cities. No food or medical interventions will be allowed. The government has said this will free up resources in the coming years to enable them to cut taxes as the percentage of non working to the working population declines rapidly.
