You wouldn't know the cup was even on, looking at the BBC Cricket home page;

Why can't Farage put out a message calling for it all to stop ? This is what he said in August 2011 ; “This has got nothing to do with politics. It is opportunistic crime, taking place on a massive scale. Criticise the police, but there simply aren’t enough of them to deal with hundreds of outbreaks of violence. Millions of Londoners are terrified.” “I don’t want the state to interfere with our lives, but frankly, to protect the innocent majority, the government needs to take radical action today. We must put the army on the streets, to allow the police to get on the job, and protect our citizens.”

You said that people should speak out about boxing being a ' dangerous sport', and that women might show more sense. What would be the purpose of 'speaking out' against boxing if not to ban it ? I reckon if you want to rail against 'dangerous' sports then rugby should be part of the conversation, and as for the women boxing I repeat, nobody forces them. Perhaps you should read your own posts more carefully, and stop being so patronising.

And there you have a significant part of this issue, the political slanging match between the 2 organisations.

Organ gives us something to defend.

Why are both sides wearing the same kit ?

Depends where they met; if it was Revoe it would count as urban regeneration. They might also be useful helping clear the site of the old Courts building, instead of lobbing bits of concrete at each other there could be some strategically positioned skips for them to aim at

She has been boxing competitively, and winning tournaments, as a female, since 2018, including the last Olympics, so yes, she has been accepted as such by the boxing authorities. She boxed in the 2022 edition of the IBA tournament whithout issue, but was disqualified part way through the 2023 edition of the same event.

I don't want to stoke the fires, but part of the confusion on this is actually the "evidence" that is openly in the public domain; Khalif has been accepted as being able to compete as a woman by both boxing and Olympic authorities, and her passport states she is female. Until the alleged medical tests are made public all the rest is built-on degrees of conjecture.

Nobody forces them, and why can't women have equality in sport ? Would you ban rugby because of brain injuries ? What about sports with weapons, such as hockey ?

Currently watching Snoop Dogg"s new favourite sport, the dressage.

I think I need to dig out my Anti-Nazi League and Rock Against Racism badges.

Rioters turned up in Blackpool yesterday, only to find 8000 punks attending the Rebellion festival. The punks chased them off.

Strange how the Indy printed this 3 days ago; Who are the English Defence League (EDL)? Founded in 2009, the EDL is a far-right, Islamophobic pressure group. Its members will often mobilise for street demonstrations against immigration and multi-culturalism, and sometimes mount counter-action to protests with progressive aims. The Liverpool Echo printed this after theSouthport riot; Why police believe English Defence League is linked to Southport riot And this video recently appeared on YOUTUBE;

As I posted above, the local press and Police said it didn't happen ; "There is growing speculation that a stabbing has taken place as a result of the disorder today. We can confirm this information is false and no stabbings have been reported to police or emergency responders, despite videos fuelling speculation on social media. "We can confirm a man was injured after being hit by a blunt object that was thrown. His injuries are not thought to be serious and he has been taken to hospital for treatment. "Four men have been arrested in connection with the disorder and are currently in custody for questioning."

Are you going to back down over the 'stabbings' in Stoke that didn't happen ? Unless you are referencing this report, in which case there have been arrests; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2x03jpjj81o

Muslamic death rays ?

You could always convert if you think you are missing out.

https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/news/stoke-on-trent-news/police-confirm-no-stabbings-hanley-9458358 Police have confirmed there have been no stabbings in Hanley today - although violence has erupted and protesters have been injured.

Should Muslims not be protected?

But he is the wrong sort of British.

Holy thread bump ! Just because you got called out on another thread over your bollox conflation. The Grenfell fire has been attributed to power surges causing an electrical fault in a fridge freezer and consequently a fire which spread through the faulty cladding.

"Martin in" on Lucy Pinder's accounts.

And in the 8 years since she said this the Tories did.......... The Conservatives had 14 years and fixed nothing, yet Labour are getting blasted after 1 month.
