A sad fairy tale said by sad losers

So you have the production team. All losers. All wanting to sell something juicy. The worst of journalism: if it bleeds, it leads.

Than you have the old hooligans. Everything was better in the good ol times. At least in their heads. They are losers on welfare. And those were their minutes of fame. So they will say anything to get some attention.

Than you have the talking heads. Also losers. These are lower than the hooligans. They never felt the adrenaline and respect. They usually know the facts from TV and will describe it more vividly than the ones who were witnessing the events.

So there is some truth. But no gang has ANY interest to do anything but lie. Somehow the production team does not pass the occasion to enlarge the audience with some socialist memes and somehow Tatcher has some involvement too.
