FA is a business. No doubt.

I'd think there is some doubt. I looked up the large dictionary I keep handy, and the relevant definitions said: "a Commercial transations, trade, finance etc conytrasted with one of the learned or liberal professions or with the public services...b particular commercial enterprise"

Does an organisation that is defined as non-profit making, and which is commited to furthering goals which are not primarily commercial fall into those definitions? Well, maybe it does, but maybe it doesn't. Hence "no doubt" is going a bit too far.

Churches, political parties, trades unions, campaigning groups are they all businesses just because they have to try to avoid making an actual loss if they can?
