He blamed the racial quota system for not being able to get a break in South Africa. Because so few white cricketers play for the national team there (not). Fantastic player but you could probably sum his personality by his sending text to South African opponents criticising his captain Andrew Strauss in 2012. To make it worse Strauss was almost universally liked by teammates and was playing in his 100th (and what turned out to be his last) test match. That and being best mates with Piers Morgan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21922 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I know they mean well but can anyone explain how the leader of the UK opposition party can stop Netanyahu’s assault on Gaza? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly how I feel. "Alright Starmer mate, why don't you stop Netanyahu’s slaughter of the innocent in Gaza". It's fucking pathetic. Why aren't they doing this outside Sunak's Richmond mansion anyway? I remember once having a relatively high brow discussion with one of my mate's Dads once about some political issue of the time. His wife joined in the conversation by saying something as uselessy anodyne as "Why can't all the leaders of the World shake hands and have peace?". We both looked at each other and burst out laughing. On reflection, it might have been the start of their divorce process which happened a year later and their son's descent into drug abuse. Oh well, that's where good intentions get you. Edited April 9 by Renton 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for a start he could pressure Sunak to stop selling arms to Isreal which I'm guessing might prove a popular policy as well as being the morally correct thing to do. Bit too much to hope for from Starmer though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit too much to hope for from Starmer though Yeah, that's definitely going to work. Sunak will agree immediately and our 0.0001% contribution to the Israeli military will halt them in their tracks. And there definitely won't be a right wing media shit storm attack on Labour as a result, which will boost the tories chances in the GE. Starmer can do fuck all about it, but you just want him to take the hit anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35079 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 What Starmer needs to do is start fucking up the massive lead he’s got in polls with pointless gestures. All to appease a few people who won’t vote for him anyway 👍🏻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob toonpants 3996 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I'm just coming from a position that it's wrong to sell arms that are being used in a genocide. Don't think it's a particularly vote losing policy and I genuinely think it might be a net gain. Maybe I'm not cynical enough yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm not cynical enough yet Don’t think it necessarily would be but could make the difference it the previously safe Tory seats they look set to take. Loads of those are still in the balance. No point in jeopardising that. Plus we know they are not held to the sane standards - see Corbyn. Then there’s the accusations of antisemitism scandal which large elements of the press would love to reignite. Purely from a tactical point of view it’s the right thing to do the way he’s playing it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time they had a leader like that it inadvertently delivered a large majority to what has arguably been the most damaging and right wing government ever in the UK. Owen Jones et al got their wish last time and it was an unmitigated fucking disaster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
