Be careful...someone will pull you up for commenting on others and not simply focussing on your own actions (btw I agree with you ?)

So, there is a God, and/or justice after all?

I’d go for that. It was mentioned last summer, even if it was part time. I think the teaching unions torpedoed it!I suggested that yonks ago, that 2/3 weeks could be deducted from the 7 weeks school summer holidays and was shot down in flames.

Politics get mentioned, people start arguing within a coupe of posts, then people start arguing about whether the posts were in fact political, then people start arguing when the mods don't do enough to clamp down on these arguments about the political arguments.
Is that enough clarity for you?

I for one can’t wait to read his contribution to the forum once all the politics has been removed.

No demand for 24x7 vaccination we are told. I say ‘bunkum’ to that. Give me the opportunity to book, or invite me for, a 3am slot and I’ll have it thank you.

Over the last 12 months all you read in the MSM, Social Media and even on this very forum is rule breaking, 'Covidiots' etc etc. I thought this was an interesting article from the BMJ that maybe we should be focusing on the fact that the vast majority of the population are actually adhering to the rules. With the media etc being so focussed on those who are breaking the rules (a minority) all they are doing is giving those who are wavering an excuse to become rule breakers themsevles.

Too damn right. Mind you, there is a very large staff requirement as asoon as you go 24 hrs working. If that was the problem, then it should be stated.
To say there is no demand is ridiculous.
In fact, it's a good subject for a poll here.?
(I don't know how to set that up!)

On a similar subject, you just have to look at the headlines this morning about retail sales being the worst on record. Not really surprising seeing as much of the retail sector has been shut for nearly a year.

And your point is what- That breaking the rules shouldn't be concentrated on so that the offenders can be urged, cajoled, forced to toe the line?
Just let it happen as acceptable? It is what it is?
Of course it's a minority. But not an acceptable one.
Pick any football match where there has been ( very) bad crowd behaviour .
Any statistical analysis will tell you that the majority were behaving.
However, we all know how bad the overall experience would be.

Whether golf majors should be held on Trump courses is legit material for a golf forum. GM posted this question on social media to invite comments, and it has got some rather robust responses on both sides of the debate.

I think the point is that a clear media focus on rule breaking has given a potentially inaccurate impression that, in fact, the majority are breaking the rules and such an impression does little to help overall compliance. An approach where more emphasis is placed n the good things that people are doing may give rise to an atmosphere where compliance is more rigorous whilst also not giving people who are wavering the excuse to break the rules because everyone else is. A press that attempts to be uniting rather than divisive in current times could be a benefit.

There would seem to be plenty of scope there to debate on whether golf, or sport in general, should be taking a stance in political matters without actually feeling the need to debate the merits or not of any particular political stance.
