Truss on wireless earlier suggesting ‘footballers’ should be making clear and unequivocal ‘political opinion’ by boycotting some footy tournament due to be held in St Pete’s (totally awesome run ashore there BTW!)

 

Odd, wasn’t taking the knee or school meals where the same politicians were suggesting ‘footballers’ should play football rather than get involved in politics....?

 

it’s the selective application and apparent hypocrisy / inconsistency that strikes me....

 

They’re talking about RT being banned now because it’s a ‘biased’ propaganda arm of the Putin regime....  I quite like RT for the ‘alternative’ view, same Al Jazeera.

I didn’t invent the news Kevin!
I think most forums have a thread like this, the yankee forum I was on had one for discussion on current affairs.

There’s another one called The RIP thread, where people post recent high profile deaths and discuss the work/life of the departed. Worked very well.

Couldn’t make that one stick here though
