Hearts were first to acknowledge troubles ahead, now Cormack talking about our situation. Will we be thanking corona one day for killing the huns? Of all teams juggling finances, how do they survive this??

We can but hope that this sends the huns to the wall, like their predecessors.

Well done to the Hibees for their shirt announcement yesterday. Nice to see one club looking at the bigger picture.

 

The cynic in me imagines it being discussed at board level as a fantastic bit of PR, with Hibs being "first mover". There does seem to be a competitive element to the volume of caring being done to the extent that many of these things seem like empty gestures. Although we probably have to assume that isn't the case in this instance, it would have been far more appropriate - in my opinion - if they'd approached the entire league first and tried to get all clubs to do it, in a united approach. Perhaps they did, of course.

On this "gesture", I wrote these words on the family group chat last night: -

 

Just a true portrait of reality. Two otherworldly people trying to be part of the real world. We find them, and the environmental factors that created them, disgusting but they are oblivious to their unreality. It's like Dunning Kruger but with a heavy aristocratic bent contributing.

 

The sickest fallacy is the real world "thing" that they were trying to associate with is not real. Handcock and BlowJob and Rishi etc.'s clapping is over-exuberant. They voted against the nurses. They are privatising the NHS by stealth, wasting billions of our money in the process, not in pursuit of any sick ideology but in the pursuit of selves. As this pandemic has proved, it's Mar and {daughter 3} and bus drivers and food workers etc. who make the world turn. The rest of the most of us aren't critical to day to day needs, the politicians being not only the least important but actively deconstructing it.
