Lord Duckhunter

My memory goes back to Raymond Illingworth captaining us, someone who was a genuinely innovative captain. There’s no doubt in my mind that the first day declaration was unnecessary, counter productive and ultimately cost us the game. You’re on about the 90’s but Aus then were probably the greatest test team ever. If we tried to play Baz Ball against them, the tests would have been over in two and a half days. You can be positive, innovative and throw caution to the wind. But there’s a time and place. The Aussies dig in when it’s needed, play conventional cricket, even blokes like Botham & KP did that when required. Blokes getting in & then chucking their wickets away is criminal, to then have their team mates & leadership team pat them in the head and not bollock them is unforgivable imo. It’s not the Harlem fucking globetrotters, it’s serious sport. The proof’s in the pudding and after a handful of days we’ve already pissed the ashes away.

I see Lawrence Fox had some aggro from the old bill at a lgbtq2@?ed event. Surprised our resident “Prevent” coordinator hasn’t posted about it. Looks like 2 veteran gay campaigners stuck up for the right wing bigot when two woke cops tried to move him on.

Which is why you don’t declare on the first day of an ashes series. They believed their own hype and they’re now getting a wake up call.It was a disrespectful act of stupidity, too clever by half. I’m fed up with reading about how they’re so relaxed and aren’t put under pressure if they get out “playing shots”. Well they fucking should be bollocked if they chuck their wicket away. It might actually stop the pathetic display of batting we saw first innings. An average side playing properly would have got out of the first test with a draw at least, and maybe even done the same at Lords. One thing for sure, it wouldn’t have been so fucking easy for the Aussie bastards. Make 5hem earn every wicket, make they grind out every run and keep them fielding at the end of a long day

You remind me of a bloke who use 100 words when 3 will do. Stop waffling you boring plank.

It’s a yes from me then.

Edited for you.

Soggy was pussy whipped? That explains a lot….

Until I have an update from Soggy, I refuse to believe QT even aired last night.

They will be fucking odd if he gets them.

So you’re saying that the Tories are Islamophobic & the Labour Party are Anti-Semitic?

Looks like Soggy only rested his case for 24 hours. Luckily, he’s a tight arse and won’t cough up a fiver, so he’ll be re resting it again soon.

You still don’t get it do you? If people were boycotting Jewish goods, then yes they would be. If they’re boycotting Israeli goods, then they're not. You seem to have a real problem with diversity & the eclectic melting pot which is the modern world. Non white in the UK means immigrant, Jew means Israeli. Instead of researching whether the Jews are a race, perhaps you’d have been better off taking a diversity course that day.

They couldn’t do any worse. Fuck me, I’d take Soggy over Andrew Bailey.

If that means you’ll STFU about the Jews, I’m all for it.

Anyone who admits to spending all day research whether the Jews are a race has got a serious problem with Jewish people.

Bournemouth, Luton, Brentford, Fulham, top table at Wetherspoon’s?

Fuck me, summers flown by. It’s Jan 31st already.

Hikes don’t just take money out of the economy by squeezing mortgage holders, they take money out of circulation by encouraging savers. I don’t think you quite understand the consequences of making the BoE independent. It’s the only lever they have to pull.

Dear God….

Correct, and if it was a one off you could say it was ignorance. But there are so many examples of his mindset, from spending all day (his words) trying to prove the Jews aren’t a race, to defending Abbott when she compared the holocaust to gingers getting teased at school. So many examples of “clumsy” words around Jewish people, that point in only one direction . I knew where he’d take this thread when I saw the title of it. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it’s a fucking duck.

Soggy has a history of Anti semitic tropes, it’s not just “clumsy” language on this particular thread.

On this thread you’ve blamed; Certain Russian people for Ukraine. Certain British people for Iraq Certain Jewish people for Palestine Can you see the difference?

Thankfully, it looks like they didn’t have to. Appears that it happened in mili seconds & they’d have known nothing about it. Tragic, but at least it was quick.

It seems beyond the comprehension of modern politicians that the only way to control inflation is to make people poorer. They seem to think that they can wish it away, they’re drunk on the success of printing money during the banking crisis & avoiding a disastrous recession. But there’s a huge difference between printing money to give to financial institutions & what was basically helicopter money. They seem to think they can ease us out of this, with a little bit of targeted pain here, and a little bit of targeted pain there. But unfortunately people won’t stop spending voluntary & won’t accept wage constraints voluntarily (not that I blame them). The only way to stop people spending is to take money out of the economy & the only way to control wages is to make them feel insecure in their jobs (and that’s best case scenario, the other way is for them to lose their jobs).

Yes, unfortunately you are on a very long list of Anti-Semite’s. It is something a lot of people need educating on , with the worst culprits not even able to comprehend that this is what they are. ”Their” leaders, “their” enablers. Who are these Jewish leaders? i know the Israeli ones, but who are the Jewish ones? If Kenya bombed Tenerife would you be criticising Kenyan leaders or would you aim your criticism at Black leaders and “their” black enablers ? You clearly wouldn’t, which illustrates exactly what you are…
