Today's book recommendation is Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. I know muggle books aren't quite the thing, but I think it's fitting for today. Pick up a copy and you'll see why.

I know that I'm not exactly everyone's favourite person at the moment, but I think that we should have a sit down and discuss how we're handling this. I, personally, feel that this isn't something we should feed into. Even if that means a media embargo on the subject.
Random searches are one thing, but this feels like a first step into something much bigger and much more difficult to control. It might be a good idea to show that we aren't supportive of the Ministry getting in bed with the BIL, through our silence on the matter.

Silence on the matter isn't going to get us anywhere, Eddie is right. ~~And though I'm loathe to even give you the time of day currently~~ I do think we need to address this. The players and the union are not likely to take this kind of treatment quietly and if you're right that this is the start of something, then it's only a matter of time before we this explodes in everyone's faces.

	Seconding this - everywhere. How are we supposed to make our teams feel like we can protect them if we can't even get a seat at the table? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We need to send a clear message to the BIL and the Ministry that we're not going to let our players be scapegoats. I am all for banning substances and holding guilty parties accountable, but innocent players should not be made to feel like criminals. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, that's what they're known for. They need to place blame, and right now, we're about to catch it all. Fuck this, essentially. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Obviously that's not our job on the journalism side of things, but it's our job to shine a light on the procedures being carried out by those who run the game. This smacks of something completely fishy that we'll need to stand together for. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	We have more power if we stand united, on both sides of the media divide. Maybe we need a union of our own. (Reply to this) (Parent)
