Please help spread the word. This shirt is irreplaceable to me and has no value to anyone trying to sell it.
Hey @grok if someone uses the term woke to mean something other than “alert to and concerned about social injustice and discrimination: “ would it be reasonable to suggest that person had a right wing bias?
Blame everything instead of facing up to
The reality that county cricket is often not that well followed

Hi George - a genuine question here, is there a scenario where Cricket Scotland can drop a player on merit without them then being accused of doing so out of racism? As that feels like the world we are now in.
I’ve had my own experiences of prejudice and exclusion within my cricketing life, and by no means would want to play down the impact of discriminatory behaviour……BUT, I would also not advocate people using it as a deflectionary tool or excuse for poor performance.
I feel there needs to be more holistic approach to the reporting of matters like this, and that cases of discrimination are managed through the appropriate channels and not adjudicated through the media.

STATEMENT REGARDING JOEY BARTON:
The news of Joey Barton’s apology and commitment to pay damages and costs is not the final outcome of this case.
After five defamatory tweets, my lawyer offered Barton a chance to settle: pay £75k, plus my costs, and make an apology.
He ignored that offer and posted more disgusting tweets about me, even publishing my home address to his followers.
When I then took my case to the High Court, a judge ruled that TEN of the tweets I complained of were defamatory. Having lost, Barton has returned to the offer we made after tweet 5.
There has therefore been a parallel action on tweets 6-10 and Barton will pay further damages for these. A number of other steps — including statements made in Court by way of apology — are still to be taken, and Barton has agreed to pay my legal costs of all of the claims.

As was the custom for many years, the 1930 Australian tour opened at Worcester on April 30th where English crowds got their first sighting of 21-year-old Don Bradman in the middle. He scored 236 in 276 minutes as Australia coasted to an innings victory
