Just imagine if this Test was on free-to-air TV, and the country could sit down and watch this, together, talk about it at work the next day etc
That is how you could inspire a generation to start playing cricket.

Can we all get something clear:
When Hamas start sharing execution videos, and gruesome pictures of dead bodies, do not share them.
Not only do I not want to see dead bodies, but it is a desecration of their memories.
Am not usually a fan of Andrew Neil, or the comparison between Hamas and the Nazis, but this monologue is quite compelling from him.
Hamas murdered children because they were too much trouble. That is what the Nazis did.
The absolute hysteria over the Stephen Fry video, is exactly why he needed to do the video. The audacity of a public figure saying he is Jewish and that antisemitism is a pervasive problem, has whipped everyone into a frenzy..
Some of the replies to this are really vile. It’s kind of astonishing the BBC still has Lord Sugar on the Apprentice given his consistently idiotic tweeting
The University Challenge Octopus uproar, is ridiculous
IT'S A TOY OCTOPUS. That's it. Not a Nazi octopus.
Hysterical and paranoid response, with a number of people picking out Gorgianeh, in a headscarfe.. which feels like racism to me.....
@Jacob_Rees_Mogg
We have an Irish captain, a South African opener, a West Indian fast bowler, and Ben Stokes is born in New Zealand. Our team is a reflection of the diversity and openness of this country. Maybe you should try* tapping into that, instead of promoting divisive politics?
45 British Muslim organisations have issued this statement, rejecting the term terrorism for Hamas [the child murderers], and calling for the UK to cease all aid to Israel.
Nobody should have anything to do with these individuals or organisations.

As Jeremy Corbyn apologised the 'pain and hurt' caused by "pockets of anti-Semitism" in and around the Labour Party, and so many of his supporters insist they don't exist, let's have a little reminder of a few of these 'pockets.
In no particular order:

The case almost certainly belonged to the boy’s father — and he survived.
Unbelievable.

Everyone is entitled to a lawyer. Even Nazi war criminals had lawyers. You are deliberately suggesting lawyers agree with their clients, when it's a fundamental principle of our legal system, that they don't, and that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. You are so dense
Ian Wright spot on. Today is landmark because, if this game gets called off, it will prove that players won't have to play through the racist abuse going forward. Retrospective action doesn't work. Players should not have to suffer it.

Please stop inviting Katie Hopkins, running screenings by her... giving her oxygen in any way shape or form.
Please.
Yours, many British Jews who work hard to fight her vile far-right politics, which has regularly waded into antisemitism
It's actually maddening to see Labour miles ahead in the polls, on the brink of kicking the incompetent and stale Conservative government out of power - and falling over themselves to tear it all up, in order to 'vote for a ceasefire', which would have no impact
Seen a number of posts saying 'Jews have no future in the UK'.. that we're all thinking about 'packing our bags and leaving'.. etc
No.
I am not going anywhere.
I am not gonna be chased out of my country.
Sorry, antisemites, you're not gonna do that, deal with it
Obviously if you watch this video, you can see what Liam Smith is implying. That Chris Eubank Jr is gay, and that's a bad thing.
For Liam Smith to claim nothing homophobic came out of his mouth.. not one word.. is so dishonest, it's unbelievably
Likes of Lyse Doucet, Clive Myrie, Mark Austin and Deborah Haynes [and their teams], who have been reporting for BBC and Sky News on the ground in Kyiv, deserve substantial recognition for their war reporting. It's so crucial journalism like this is supported, protected

Yeah. One person in my office had it a few weeks ago and we named it after him... then everyone got it. It feels like just a general winter cold/flu with a bit of a kick and it lingers on.. Wonder if it's got something to do with post-pandemic lack of general immunity...
British Jews do not want Tommy Robinson's support.
He is leeching on to us - but in another era - he would have been telling us to get out.
If he tries to attend, frankly, he should be arrested, after invoking so much violence & hatred last Saturday.
This man has actually got a screw loose.

Sarah,
Accusing Israel of interfering in UK domestic politics because there has been a row about antisemitism in the Labour Party - is not just a baseless and nonsensical lie - but it's an antisemitic conspiracy theory.

Targeting Jews coming out of synagogue.
This is called antisemitism, and the

Sam Tarry has been deselected. Part of the Corbyn clique which wanted to deselect 'Blairites' and non-Corbyn supporters, now gets a taste of his own medicine. Labour is slowly coming back to respectability. Jas Athwal is a decent man, candidate, and will be a good MP if elected.
"Probably her Jewish husband... I mean zionist husband"
Nice save
After all, Jews do generally control other people in positions of power. We discuss it every year at the annual Zionists-Rothschild-Lizards-Bankers secret meeting on Mitzvah Island
If ever you wanted an illustration of how tabloids like the Sun play people, look at their contrasting front pages in Scotland and England. One saying ‘floppy Johnson can’t get an election’, the other saying Corbyn is a chicken. It’s mockery to satisfy people’s cynicism

No it doesn't Britain is on the whole a very tolerant place, and a great country to be Jewish.
Deeply irresponsible and sensationalist nonsense published here

Re Monty Panesar, I obviously don't know him personally; but the impression I get, is that he's a slightly vulnerable individual.
He had a solid international career in which he created a caricaturish persona, and some of that covered up other problems.
