@WG_RumblePants @BoothCricket It will depend on his golf and whether rob key thinks he’s a “good bloke”

I’m with Harmie when it comes to Robinson. I feel he’s had enough chances and has burned his bridges. Yes, his bowling figures are very good, but he’s still not shown that he’s robust enough to bowl long third or fourth innings spells at a good pace. He’s still too much of a gamble at the moment for my money.

Is there a route back into the Test team for Ollie Robinson? He's saying the right things - but there's still work to do to win England over dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/…

@davidoncricket The most hated nation in cricket. India

The Hundred caused unpleasantness and division from the start. Now the sale of teams is leading to another form of unpleasantness and division. What joy.

@chrismullan20 @simonmontefiore Fuck off

@simonmontefiore Along with the fake blue eyes to garner support from people from the Western world

I wish I could repost an image of every one of the brave people of Iran murdered in cold blood by the Islamic dictator-for-life and his corps of killers. As you can see many of them are young and courageous. I have been contacted by so many people from Iran - using VPNs or quick moments of internet availability - to thank me for putting these up and begging me to continue. (I am in contact with some people there because of the pirating of my books in Farsi.) I have also been asked by those formerly known as Western 'progressives' - why I am posted them? The images emerging now from Iran of young people, older people, boys and girls, who were murdered in the last few weeks by the Islamic Corps of Revolutionary Guards, Basij militia and imported killers from Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Pakistan, are heartbreaking but also enraging. Some depict beautiful people at play, at the gym, dancing, on motorbikes; some makeshift morgues full of bodies; some streetscenes where killers shoot down unarmed protesters; and many show families opening bodybags to find their dead children shot in the head; others discover bodies of protesters wounded then executed in hospital beds and particularly women with uteruses removed or other horrors to conceal brutal rapes... Many are not young but it looks like the slaughter of the best and brightest of Iran Gen Z. I dont want us to tire of theses or look away. So many are these images that it is hard to open the images or repost them. It is embarrassing to be thanked by Iranians for such a minor thing. But please repost them. The numbers killed are astonishing: based on sources within the murderous dictatorship, it may be as many as 36000 - 40.000 were murdered just in the first days of the terror 8/9 January and more later - making it likely that much higher than 40,000 is a horribly plausible estimate. This makes this event the most greatest massacre in modern Iranian history by far, the greatest single event cold blood slaughter in modern MIddle Eastern history since 1900. Also relevant was the Assad's liquidation of an entire town, in which armed Islamist insurgents of the Muslim Brotherhood's military arm had seized Hama, in 1982. The Assads killed around 30,000. Many civilians are tragically killed in wars but there is a special horror for the slaughter of unarmed civilians. This Iranian atrocity being far more terrible since none of the protesters were armed. There is no conflict. We live in a time of egregious comparisons to the Holocaust when the Holocaust is repellently abused and minimized by cynical cretins - radiohosts, podders, politicians- to criticize anything from vaccination to ICE raids. That is despicable and we should call it out every time: Holocaust inversion and distortion is the nowadays the vilest form of antisemitism. But here is a comparison that stands in its scale and horror: in size and horror this does resemble the two days of Babi Yar near Kiev in Sept 1941 where 33,000 Jews were killed in a ravine in cold blood. The EU has admirably and belatedly banned the murderous ICRG. The UK whose foreign policy is belated, confused and often outsourced to the most pushy clique of activists, has done nothing. Astonishing. It turns out the dictator Khamenei's son owns £100m of properties here in UK many of them on Bishops Avenue. Are they investigated and seized? It is also worth pointing out that an entire progressive movement arose against the autocracy of the Shah. And his was an autocracyand yes with a secret police. But in his forty year one reign, only around 3000 people were killed, mainly in the last year before his downfall. This week alone would have murdered in the streets, torturechambers, hospitals of Iran. It is very striking that the UN and the NGOsphere and all the celebrated 'humanitarian' organizations along with the pitiful celebrity campfollowers, actors and footballers, and university Red Guards. have barely commented on this or worse have colluded in minimalizing it or totally neglected it. Many of them organizations i revered since my childhood; hello Amnesty where is your other ball now - are silent. In doing so, they have discredited any claim to humanitarian credentials and exposed themselves. In their disgrace, those authoritarians formerly known as 'progressives' have revealed the real amorality of their humanitarian credentials and the strange hieararchy of victimdom in which victims only count if they are victims of Western allies or those regarded as Western. Just recall that these people were killed unarmed. Not in a war. And many were actually followed into hospitals and murdered still wearing intravenous drips. Women were arrested raped and returned without their uteruses. Doctors who treated them were killed. Aside from Dua Lipa belatedly this week, virtually no celebrity footballers and actors and popstars have said a word about this. The UN has been especially egregious, this week at its comic Human Rights Council, South Africa, Pakistan, Russia, China, North Korea repeatedly defended or downplayed the massacre. UN Sec-General, who will remembered as the official who destroyed the moral credibility of that essential organization, has been shamed publically by dissident @AlinejadMasih. "Where are the feminists, liberals, Hollywood elite where are those who marched for Free Palestine now?" She and many Iranians dissidents have asked where are all the 'humanitarian' protesters who filled our streets, where are the righteous actors and other boobies now? It says alot that a comedian @omid9 is still doing more than BBC or Sky to cover this story. There are a plethora of great Iranian writers historians activists - experts on the history and present - on X covering this and you should follow them. The killing is still going on. The tyranny is fatally damaged, it may fall on its own ultimately, it is now even more tainted, more likely metamorphose into an ICRG dictatorship. But history shows declining damaged regiimes can survive for years. A lame tiger is the most dangerous. For now all depends on the US President; depending on the details, a US strike might make its downfall more likely or it might not. What can we do? Not enough but keep posting the pictures for a start....

@MDenmania @brucemillington And try the 80s. Worst decade ever

Well, I made to 59 before turning into that old git who has decided modern football is shit. But it is. Dull, risk-free, loads of pointless passing, endless laborious set-pieces, VAR, over-coached players. Such a shame.

@Claretjay11 @k9cbw @brucemillington Embarrassing isn’t it ?

@k9cbw @brucemillington What bollocks.

@Gavin1Ruff @brucemillington Totally correct. He’s talking nonsense. The skill levels have never been higher too.

@brucemillington Such a lazy take. There’s been some cracking games this season but every time there’s a dull one, people come up with this spiel. There were boring games 20 years ago as well but because nostalgia merchants bang on about Barclays, it gets swept under the carpet.

@brucemillington @djbradshaw64 I’m 65 and football has never been as skilled and exciting as it is now.

@IanHard39216892 @hawkwelldorset @andysmanclubuk This is very true. Even ChatGPT can be a renarkably good outlet Also the key is not telling people in grief exactly what to do (as one or two have here). It’s grossly insensitive. Your advice is perfect though

@hawkwelldorset I lost my partner of 32 yrs suddenly just over 2 years ago AND I'm still coming to terms with what happened . Talking is the best therapy , I've found @andysmanclubuk . It's not perfect but if you feel alone its gr8 . It works for me . Keep safe ,reach out if you need help

Today, I said goodbye to my world. After 18 years together of pure happiness and her recent brave battle against cancer. At 52, all my family & friends have now died & I’m totally alone. Without horseracing & the love of the thoroughbred, life would have no meaning, this despite as a sport, bookmakers & their many affiliates hate us fans and those in paid jobs in racing look down on us, but unlike casino betting & it’s couple of deaths per year, horseracing keeps thousands of lonely people from suicide by giving them something to look forward to throughout the year, because as you know, the racehorse will always be the stars of the sport. Please re-tweet so that politicians & non-racing people can understand the importance of horse racing to those of us without a voice. #NoMorePainMyLove💔 #AxeTheRacingTax #FreedomToBet

@maxcouch Doesn’t matter

I see Salmon Spray has been removed from the title of the Handicap Hurdle at Fontwell. Now down to a Class 4. Sad times.

@thetrickyredmen @racingoncourse Because most people aren’t misers who live in weatherspoons

@racingoncourse Any reason as to how Chester, despite its incredible prices, still manage to fill the course

Thinking of going racing this Saturday? Here are admission prices at all courses for tatts or equivalent now: Bath:£29 Chester: £50 (plus £8 car park) Hexham:£12 Leicester: £15 Sandown:£22 Uttoxeter:£27.50 York:£35

@1986bets @VigilantFox Thick

@VigilantFox I thought Ukraine was defending itself but it's now attacking Russia. What makes Zelenski think this was the right decision? He has been the problem all along. This could have all been prevented if they talked and negotiated.

It started with a warning. Ukraine wiped out 40% of Russia’s bombers in a surprise strike—and Steve Bannon says the U.S. is now on the brink of getting dragged into World War III. But the media shrugs. The public sleeps. Then Bannon went nuclear—calling for two brutal consequences for Senator Lindsey Graham upon returning home from Ukraine. 🧵 THREAD

@BryanCFC7 @DeanCFC_ Exactly. Can’t recall forest or united players mobbing clough or Fergie

@DeanCFC_ no it doesn’t, celebrations with the manager aren’t even that common. you clearly have an agenda and you’ll find whatever evidence you can to confirm your bias, rather than looking at the facts objectively to see if they support your claim.

Not a single player ran over to the manager to celebrate the late winner, this says a lot.

@YahisKing86757 @toryboypierce @EmmanuelMacron Seek help

@toryboypierce @EmmanuelMacron Have you ever heard of the Deep State Establishment? The ruling E lites? They control most of the world leaders through organisations mostly unelected. If they say he gets £500 million he gets it. If they say state visit he gets it.

why is busted flush French pres' @EmmanuelMacron being given a State visit. He's pocketed £500m of British taxpayers money and done nothing to stop the boats

@MikeNellis @shannonrwatts Definitely. This is mental illness.

@shannonrwatts He’s unwell

Easter message from an incompetent maniac.

@DeanCFC_ Tiresome

Neto literally sprinted straight past the coaching staff 😭😭😭 x.com/HaslamLeti2900…

@NCBubblehead @TheHockeyNews Unlike Americans….

@TheHockeyNews Canadians have no sense of humor and a huge inferiority complex.

The Battle of Ontario is gonna be awesome

@PhilipJCollins1 Great news. Especially liked your columns The observer has been very stale in recent years with some very poor columnists rewriting the same column week after week Rawnsley and tisdall the exceptions

For anyone who once really liked The Times you might like the new incarnation of The Observer. I am going to join soon and that's where I will be doing my writing.

@Sooner_Source @atrupar Too generous

@atrupar He’s an imbecile

Trump on the markets: "Up 2500 points. Nobody has ever heard of it. Gotta be a record."

@Dylan_Sandas @historyrock_ If anything they were underrated

@historyrock_ They pushed the boundaries for everyone. They were doing things no one else were and once everyone was onto what they were doing the Beatles already were doing more unthought of things. No one today comes close to that. They’ll always be the greatest of all time.

Are The Beatles the greatest band ever?
