Former British & Irish Lions prop Jason Leonard has recounted how he came to give a young John Smit his Lions kit during their tour of South Africa in 1997.

During the conversation, Smit – who would lead the Springboks to a series victory over the Lions in 2009 – recalled how he got his first ...

Why would they send an Ambassador to Washington who hates most of the things that America supports?

Rasool hates Israel, America supports Israel.
Rasool supports Hamas and Hezbollah, America hates Hamas and Hezbollah.

It was NEVER going to work.

Just part of trump/putin's narrative that Ukraine is about to collapse ( hold no cards) so they should accept whatever terms Russia want to impose on them

After the couple of posts from the pro Russian/chinese propagandist above (or previous page) , back to hearth

Some would suggest he left SA for Canada in order to avoid subscription to the SA army. Whilst he didn't have bone spurs he did have his Mothers Canadian nationality and a rich father. His family benefited greatly from the great wealth generated from their mining and other businesses whilst ...

Trump is an unprincipled outright right wing racist. He yearns for the return of apartheid in SA and thinks he can create something similar in the US. His nazi salute wasn't something he hasn't practiced!

Musk and some of the other more 'extreme' tech bros, including PayPal, ex mining ...

Almost like hitching your wagon to a shitshow was a bad business idea.

It will be interesting to see what he does. His incredible switch from left to hard right was presumably nothing to do with what he actually believes

The stupid are those who believe the MIC media stories. This war is all about money and land. Not about big bad Russia and evil Putin. These are just stories for the very stupid

Also, importantly, a language.

I think the French have a better appreciation and understanding of this and when I read Macrons book he talked about the community of French speakers, the shared literary history of France and stuff like that. I forget what broader point he was making but it ...

Hopefully Trump settles this war.

Ukraine should have complied with the Minsk agreements. Now it's too late. They have lost their country. It will be divided up between Russia and BlackRock etc The lucky will become part of Russia. The rest will be owned by Western corporations

I'm sorry but what's going on with the border with Canada?

There are some legitimate border and port issues, but it seems kind of dumb to only focus on the fentanyl issue when these are more apparent and potentially dangerous issues if terrorists could walk across the border.

That’s exactly the response Trump wants though, weird how Denmark can’t see that

Both comments are saying "Not All Men".

Everyone knows it's not all men, but the point is that women don't know which men it is.

I can't keep saying the same thing.

If the main point of the article is that rapist do not have "I am a rapist" tattooed on their forehead, and that they can be ...

none of the, very valid, criticism of that article has to do with it being written by a woman.

Not sure it's helpful to portray all men as potential rapist.

Bravo.

To take that as the main take away is the most spectacular example of missing the writer's point

Didn't say it was a the main point (what was?) but it was a point she made. It's an emotional article full of ...

The point I was trying to make about the folk we know, is like with Couzins in the Met, we all too often turn the other cheek or treat misogyny as a joke with folk we know rather than challenging it and seeing it for what it is. It becomes normalized and accepted. Who would have thought there ...

Looking at the WTC standings (Saffers have qualified for the Final)

England would also qualify if they added bowling their overs quicker to their Bazzball mantra... 22 points deductions is fucking ridiculous.

Not a medical doctor but if one told you to stop drinking I'd think it'd be a good idea to do just that. could you have cirrhosis? really wouldn't think it's worth the risk to carry on drinking
