To be fair i never said you did mate but you brought them up in your last post as many in these threads continually do, despite the UK government having little or no relevance to this discussion, which was my point. And no not everyone has a realistic choice of which country they live in, in fact very few do. Most people have family members Young and old to look after and they can't just up sticks and emigrate so while possible it's not practical for the majority. And even if they could which country could they move to that hasn't been or isn't currently involved in the same type of shady shit that the UK government has been over the years, very few i'd imagine. So it's a pointless discussion from the get go.
And just as everyone has the theoretical choice to leave the country of their birth, where they've lived all/most of their lives and leave behind all or most of their family/friends. Every football fan has the choice to stop supporting the football club they've supported most of their lives. Both would be very, very difficult decisions but both are possible for virtually everyone.
Finally it is of course your right to choose not to answer my question as to which person you would morally object to owning United. No problems there mate, have a nice day.
We all have choices. You have taken the choice to have the moral "high ground" by questioning other people being happy, or not, as for a SA take over. You did bring up the conversation about UK buying United. I talked living in a country which is accountable many human right acts and I still continue to live here, as it as not directly impacted me. I've been open and honest. So don't question whether I've answered your question or not.
Like I say, you may choose when to take the moral high ground, I don't. i "try" to be as little as hypocritical as possible. I'm not going to on one hand moan all about the atrocities that the SA have committed and why they shouldn't buy United and then on the other hand, live in the UK and contribute to other countries who have bad human rights affairs. Like I say, people like to pick and choose when to read the riot act.
And no, at this moment in time, morally I wouldn't object to an SA buyout. I love my club too much and at this time, I have no reason to not follow them under any other reigeme.
