Grow up. They don't need to apologise for anything.

If you're that outraged about politicians and their morals & behaviour, then go and ask our local Labour MP about having to be taken off a flight to Gibraltar in a wheelchair, (while on public duty) because her and her politician friends had their snouts in the freebies trough.

That's all ridiculously hyperbolic . . .

But what if Johnson's warm welcome ultimately leads to him giving the green light for a new hospital in Warrington? Should the club still apologize then? Life isn't black and white.

he classes a new staff member as a new hospital.

I gather you're unaware there's a campaign to build a new hospital in Warrington?

welcome to the long queue.

Yes Doug Hoyle was on the board but in a non political sense as a supporter and in honour of his many years service to the town, just as Andy Carter might one day be if he does 4/5 terms.


And also when Warrington RLFC go to Big finals they always invite the local dignitaries mayor, council leader etc regardless, or are you saying that to is political?
Additionally these people are all fundamentally decent, whereas Boris Johnson is a lying scoundrel

Well at least try and keep it civil



Nice deflection regards the poor judgement of Warrington RLFC in dishonouring the shirt and club in their association with Boris Johnson, but if I remember correctly the Warrington North MP explained the circumstances as unexpected reaction to medication she had been prescribed, but did apologise in any case

Are you equating the two situations?
But if your so outraged about the incident you could always start a thread in the sin bin :

Whataboutary Jack


Warrington should have had a new hospital years ago but for Tory cuts to the NHS and local government.

Again the facts are you can choose between moral/lmmoral, ethical/unethical, decent/indecent, truthful/serial liar . We know which side of the line Boris Johnson sits, and where Warrington RLFC have allied themselves. Which side of the line do you sit Jack as a matter of interest?

I'll take that as a politicians way of saying no.

Welcome to the forum, Charlotte...

It's not whataboutery, the whole reason for Johnson's visit was hospital-related. Our Conservative MP, who accompanied him, is lobbying for a new hospital. Him getting a positive impression of the town makes it more likely for that to happen, regardless of the fact a new hospital for us is well overdue.

As I said, things are never that black or white but I mentioned in my first post in this thread where my vote went. But I think that is irrelevant here. We live in a democracy and this country, and this town, gave him more votes than anyone else.

I just find it hard to be angry at the club for a photo op with the man the town voted for.

Well they didn't vote for him.

So you need to do some maths.
