I read the Mail. Does that make me a Nazi?
I sincerely hope not, but it does mean that you are subject to a bombardment of right wing propaganda. I had to study the use of language in the media as part of my English A-Level and I think it's safe to say that my entire class was absolutely horrified when we broke it down. The worst manipulator of the readership was the Daily Mail, by a long way. I studied Russian as well and it outdid Pravda in insidious hatred.
Ice rinks are a curious mixture of sports and entertainment, but people who enjoy or benefit from or work in both have a right to do so - each to their own. I don't see why rinks should get special treatment.
It's moot anyway as rinks are mainly indoors and most of the UK is in Tier 4 or will be soon at which point all indoor sport stops anyway, and all the rinks will go bust if they haven't already, due to being closed indefinitely or their business model being utterly ruined by restrictions on numbers due to social distancing.
Ice skating in this country is effectively finished now.
What you do appear to be now, however, is the Voice of Doom. Whether this is influenced by your choice of reading material would be an interesting point for a different thread. Not that many people would be keen to read it as I suspect it would just depress us all even more!
Happy New Year. Let's hope for a better one. With some sort of skating for us all.
