But seriously, I think the situation in Zimbabwe is a bit different to the South African Apartheid situation.

In South Africa, a rugby playing minority supported the government and it’s policies, and had to be persuaded they were isolated and had to change. In Zimbabwe, a cricket playing majority has withdrawn support for a government that does not give a fu… fig. They need to know they are not alone.

Besides, we can beat Zimbabwe. Can we boycott South African rugby again instead.

There you go again. That’s another interesting and topical thread spoilt by someone who wants to live in the past!

The pace of change, in all aspects of life in a developed country, is changing at the same rate as the internet is developing. Yet here we have an a (presumably) paid up political party member suggesting legislation that will stop the use OF A TERM!! This reeks of “newspeak’, something that I read of in my youth and laughed at! Ouch, I thought it was a novel, a figment of imagination, a thing of creativity, and here we have someone actually suiggesting it! Next we will have the league of committed lesbians - helping ensure the world isn’t overpopulated by joining a cult movement the likes of which was last seen in the Hitler Youth movement of 20th century Germany.

Nanny, Nanny! She wants to make me do what she wants me to do!

On cricket, 20/20 and One Day crap isn’t. I’m going to try and get one of our next years new MPs to introduce a private member’s bill restricting the use of the term “cricket’ to 1st class, test and school cricket.

I am warming to you, if you can get all 20/20 banned I MIGHT just vote for the Greens.

How about a small grenade, concealed in a cricket ball?

Oops… back to the Green non-violence charter principle!
