Liberal. Humanist. Not a cold and timid soul.
What has been stopping these liberation movements from doing these things, I wonder? Nefarious forces, domestic and international, I tell you!

Extraordinary to think two batsmen should give up the chance to get test hundreds because you don’t feel like playing anymore.
This just doesn’t seem fair. It’s like he’s playing the D team.

Have always been tough on the President’s vagueness, but this is the right, principled position, and brave. And if anyone thinks the solution is otherwise, to embrace xenophobia and discount the value of (obviously legal, regulated) migration, they are wrong, and dangerous.

Extraordinarily petty and vindictive.

Despite the many obvious differences, some interesting similarities between the UK and SA: growth too low, debt too high, failure to make hard choices required to improve things and electorates that insist on having their cake and eating it (and as a consequence getting no cake.)
Straw man. Sayed isn’t suggesting Britain circa 1850 as the alternative. But carry on and keep getting poorer, and keep blaming someone else for it. The rest of the world doesn’t care.
Every single workplace benefit you enjoy - from holiday pay, to the weekend, to sick pay, to maternity leave, to equal pay, to redundancy pay, to protection from unfair dismissal - was torn from the grasp of the ruling class by the "militant trade unions" Matthew talks about.
Good call. This dialogue should definitely result in a framework and perhaps even a process or commission.
Going forward let us establish a framework for deeper inter-party collaboration across governance, socio-economic transformation and ideological education. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
🙄 I suppose it feels good to be simplistic and self-righteous at the same time. The idea though is to grow out of it at some point.
Financial Times predicting that if I win the leadership of the Green Party - not just Labour that need to worry but the Lib Dems too! Time to unite the 99% and tax the wealth of the 1%. #BackZack
This is true, but what to do? To make the rules easier to enforce accurately you either have to sacrifice the contest or spend hours on reviews. It’s tough to fix, but let me assure you the next time the Boks lose a close one to a dubious call I will be demanding a fix! 😂
The fact that there’s a decent case for the Morgan clean out being both legal and illegal highlights just how foolhardy rugby’s rules can be. Especially since it’s regarding one of the most dangerous collision areas possible.
That voice is *why* you lose. Stop listening to it.
The sad thing about last night, and the general feeling of Wallabies fandom, is when you score to go 23-5 up a part of you is jubilant, but there’s a voice that immediately says ‘man this is going to suck when we lose this’. And that voice is right way too often.
No, he’s just hustling for his team. No one wants a captain who stands back and lets stuff happen.
Maro Itoje has to be one of the most unlikeable players to ever wear a Lions jersey and easily one of the worst-behaved captains in their history. What is he even doing here? The opposing captain is having a genuine, respectful conversation with the referee, and Itoje’s out here…
The comments are hilarious. Listen Lions supporters, we get it: you’re backing your team and see what you want to see. It’s what most people do. Just don’t whine when Bok supporters do it in future :)
as a neutral, I think there is a clear ruling on the Morgan clean out.. the problem with the clean is that Morgan don't wrap 🤷🏻♂️ so effectively it is a no-arm clean. with down-ward momentum onto back of neck. please don't argue with me , argue with the footage 😆
Look, whatever you think of the clean out on Tizzano, these Aussies need to stop hamming it up for the refs. That’s the sort of embarrassing behavior that belongs in soccer and has no place in rugby.
Kallis, meanwhile, is probably playing golf and blissfully unaware and uninterested in it all.
There’s an active Jacques Kallis slander campaign going on and none of the arguments make sense.
Beirne on another planet, however.

Good to have Oz back. Rugby’s not big enough to lose a good team.
