I understand your point and agree the rules should be much tighter, but in a democracy political parties are essential, and they have to be funded somehow, and the only real options are donations or taxation.

The Mackams probably have one spare.

I like how this specific climate solution also points toward new career opportunities for geoscientists shifting from fossil-fuel extraction, as we helpfully provide estimates of the optimal persuasive, um, impact of rocks based on their mineral content. πŸ§ͺπŸͺ¨βš’️

So it looks like 50% of the Aussie pace attack will be ex Durham, Boland and Doggert, though they didn’t play much and 50-75% of the England attack will be current Durham players, though they never play for us.

Yes I am surprised to see Telegraph readers so nostalgic for the time when this country was at its most equal economically.
I don’t recall the right being so keen on that at the time.

Yes it is very noticeable that the quaint mantra that the customer is always right no longer applies.
If it ever truly did. Service industries today are run for the benefit of the providers and definitely not the customer, especially if it is an online service.

Well just maybe that’s a better approach than spiffing Β£200M plus on forwards when you needed to sign defenders Mr Slot.
