@gallagherbren58 @NewStatesman @DalrympleWill Again: I agree with what you've said. But I do think it's naive to think it's not a race issue for many.

@SHEATH50 @NewStatesman @DalrympleWill I really don't think it is although it suits some political parties to present it as a race issue. Both labour and reform current doing that believing it is a vote winner. Shameless. Point the finger at them
Meanwhile anybody with a brain knows absolutely this is not a race issue

The anti-Muslim sentiment sweeping across the UK and Europe is "basically racism" says Rory Stewart
English
@gallagherbren58 @NewStatesman @DalrympleWill Oh @gallagherbren58 it may not be a race issue for you, and you are correct in what you say- but for a good number who can't distinguish between race and religion it is entirely racist.
English
@NewStatesman @DalrympleWill It's absolutely nothing to do with race
Its a belief system/religon/way of life with many aspects and principles that seriously worry and scare many people
Its not racism to question that... just as it's not racism to question communism, Nazism, Christianity, Buddhism etc

@gallagherbren58 @WG_RumblePants Didn't he average 45 for the season as an 19 yr old?

@WG_RumblePants Sachin hardly hit it off the square for Yorkshire. Didn't trouble the scorers much

The three finest Yorkshire batsman of the 20th century (Sachin aside of course 😉)

James Tolkan has died at 94.
"Son, your ego's writing checks your body can't cash." - Top Gun (1986)
This scene is a masterclass in movie shorthand. In seconds you get Maverick’s attitude, his history, how he flies, and the entire setup. And Tolkan absolutely nails it.

@TheNewsAgents Loathe the Tories but they are correct on this..... And for once u are way off the pace
Copthorne, South East 🇬🇧 English
When Tory Nick Timothy saw Ramadan prayers in Trafalgar Square, he said it was an "act of domination".
He was praised by Tommy Robinson, and Kemi Badenoch asked if these events "fit" with British culture. Do the Tories have a problem with Muslims?

THE ONE!☝️Welcome to the Team 21 year old England and Lions talent Henry Pollock - I watched this young man and thought SUPERSTAR! Then I met him, understood the passion, vision and desire and had to be a part of this journey. Sometimes someone special comes along that has all the ingredients to change the sport. Rugby here we come 🏉 🚀

@gallagherbren58 Not sure that's the whole reason Coe lost the election.....😉
English
Finally
Common sense and fairness enters the room, not to mention much needed respect for women and girls wanting to enjoy their sport on a level playing field
Hugely ironic that the main reason Seb Coe lost IOC presidential election is that he absolutely insisted on this!
Sean Ingle@seaningle
NEW: The IOC has banned transgender and DSD athletes from the female category at the Olympics. SRY screening to determine eligibility as well. IOC president Kirsty Coventry: "It is absolutely clear that it would not be fair for biological males to compete in the female category"

Who are rugby’s great ‘late bloomers’, past and present?
No points for your Stu McCloskeys/folks who were always quality before becoming a test regular. Looking more for the Thomas Ramos, Nacho Brex types

@thistlerugbypod Surely Tooney takes us the RWC and then Mike Blair takes over for the next cycle!!
English
The primary focus for Scotland going into the 2027 World Cup is beating Ireland in the group stages - despite 3 wins in the 6 Nations for Toony, does the evidence show that Franco is the better man for that particular job?

Luke Pearce is the best referee in the world who remains criminally under-used by the powers that be. Go figure.
English
@gallagherbren58 Looked a little out of shape- but lest us forget he was a late replacement....
English
Ref and officials had pretty poor game imo. He's normally much better
Ben Coles@bencoles_
Steve Borthwick afterwards mentioned the confusion around this knock-on. Fin Smith kicked the ball away, having been told England had a penalty advantage, right as Nika Amashukeli said it was just a knock-on (after a call from the TMO) and that advantage was over. Led to Bielle-Biarrey's fourth (!) try. "I think that World Rugby needs to look at that kind of situation. You can't have the players playing with certain knowledge and then it taken away from them."

@chrisjonespress @EnglandRugby Sorry... he was poor in Dublin. Usually much sharper on the breakdown and has/ is developing quite a rude/ abrupt style of comms with certain captains.
English
Luke Pearce played his part in the contest. Clear with his decisions and communication in Dublin @EnglandRugby
English
@JohnRossBeattie Thought he was really poor..... and has developed a rather rude and abrupt manner. Didn't ref the contact area, chose to interpret the laws "but it wasn't dangerous " when Kinghorn was taken in the air.
English
Well done the ref Luke Pearce. The game is great partly due to him. No crazy penalties
