I haven't seen this and have no knowledge of it at all, but if he called him 'Greg' and he was actually 'Greg', what is the problem?

Cynical answer - the current laws don't allow it; they won't change to accommodate what is actually happening; football clubs rely on police approval and police/authorities wouldn't fear controlling a football ground and who should be there.
Hopeful answer - by the time the play-off final comes around if cases continue to fall, and if there are no spikes from protest crowds/people going shopping/leisure etc then government might reduce lockdown further and we get to go the final.

Just joking mate at how mental everything is and rules are just being totally made up.

Why is it cynical? It's true. The current laws don't allow the uneducated sheep to gather en masse either.

One of my most favouritist fillums an' all, seen it many times and would watch it again tomorrow. The treatment of black slaves is very understated and is incidental to the American Civil War background, if there was no slavery there would have been no war. In any case, it's a love story not a war or political film.

" If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some, and leaving others alone I would also do that "

He did the right thing in the end , but there were a lot of grey areas in between
