It almost seems like you’re looking for an argument when there’s no need for one.

If anything, your concern should be for the sponsor who’s got into bed with an organisation who may not entirely share its core values, assuming of course that anyone who does business with the royals must be ardent royalists rather than cynical capitalists who see the potential value of an association with royalty.

Perhaps you could offer them your valuable PR services, just on the off chance that the odd potential buyer of a granite worktop might be influenced by the opinions of a few who might hold left-of-centre views on the non-football section of a website the manufacturer sponsors.

(posters who, of course, don’t “run” the website, fundamentally undermining your initial accusation of hypocrisy)

Exactly, but that doesn’t fit Bucks’s persecution complex, so will be ignored for conspiracy theories about how this site is literally run by those on non-football when it is really run by SST, who has never set foot into those discussions. Therefore, we cannot judge hypocrisy on his part unless we know his views from knowing him elsewhere. I suspect Bucks doesn’t.

Personally, I couldn’t give a rat’s arse whether the sponsor is royalist or not. My views on the Royal Family are not very strong, but it seems that Bucks is once again trying to paint anyone who disagrees with him as inherently disingenuous. Bucks – the right wing Owen Jones.
