Sir William Browder KCMG@Billbrowder·
The specific Knighthood King Charles just bestowed upon me is “Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St George”(KCMG). It’s the most unexpected thing that could have ever happened. I grew up in a modest professor’s family on the south side of Chicago and moved to the UK 35 years ago. I’ve always felt a bit of an outsider here because of my accent and my background so to be knighted by the King is the warmest embrace imaginable by this country.

@HenryBourke1 @Spring_n_Boks Everyone is talking about how amazing the Irish crowd was but the ENTIRE crowd was incredible. 🇮🇪🇿🇦 I’m the only person in the world who won’t be able to watch an Irish/SA final!

@HenryBourke1 @Spring_n_Boks H, I kinda don’t want to tell you this because I know you would have killed to be at the match but Zombie was the first of 5 songs… the crowd went mental for all of them. And the Saffas sang Irelands Call too.

Fiji -v- Wales: the best match of the tournament so far by a country mile. Gutted for Fiji. Along with the best (read hilarious) commentary.

Argentina’s best hope right now is the game gets called off because scientists simply must investigate the biggest implosion in modern history whilst it’s still going on

The TV work on this game is atrocious. Hardly any replays and when they do come the game has moved on.

Game is sloppier than a puppy eating porridge. It’s hot and there must be nerves, but pretty average stuff so far. #RWC2023

Fact-check: 30 years is a generation, more than long enough for three spheres of well-funded spheres of government to deal with hijacked buildings in Johannesburg’s inner-city. City’s budget is R81-bn; country’s over a Trillion.
Newzroom Afrika@Newzroom405

[WATCH] "Whether we like it or not, this is the result of apartheid, and we are expected to have changed those conditions within the 30 years," Social Development Minister Lindiwe Zulu speaks at the scene where over 70 lives perished in a fire at a hijacked building.
