...because so could the next Abdi Waise, the next Elias Hussain Mahmud, the next Muhiddin Mire, the next Abdalla Ali Hemed, the next Muhyadeen Osman, Bilal Ahmed and Mowled Yussuf too.
And I'm happy with the 'sacrifice' of a tawdry bauble in some sport. I think we gain more than we might potentially lose.
Zola Budd?
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the Somalian that doesn't pay UK Taxes because he doesn't live or train in the UK, instead preferring to be a tax exile in Portland, Oregon[1]? Sometime after he inveigled George Osbourne to cut down on tax dodgers[2]?

Do people actually believe the stupid reasons they give for wanting action for their causes? Don't answer that I am sure the vast majority do. Do they not understand that every action has opposite and equal reaction. Newtons third law applies not just to mechanical forces but every other action as well. In other words all actions have consequences sometime benign(depends if you throw the ball against the wall standing on firm ground or on roller skates. Those who think about what they are doing before they do it will not be on roller skates. It appears to me many would choose roller skates and then wonder why they fell flat onto their faces.) but mostly not.
ReplyDeleteListening to interviews today of rail passengers about rail fares they all naturally opted for the fact they should go down not up and trains should run on time. Sounds most commendably who would not want that? Vast numbers of taxpayers for a start because if fares go down taxpayers have to subsidise them even more than they do already. If trains run on time then Unions and Network Rail would not want that because it would mean that a different work culture would have to be introduced and no more Unionised labour and a public monopoly would have to be broken up and privatised. I noted also that none of them recognised that their fares and travel time could be reduced if they lived nearer to where they worked.
We wouldn't have had to repeatedly imprison two his two chronically recidivist, violent criminal brothers either. Swings and roundabouts.
ReplyDeleteSlight digression, I recall a sports commentator when Farah won a gold at the 2012 Olympics stating something to the effect of: "We've taken the title away from the East Africans!"
Astonishing.
I am wondering when the SJWs will clock onto the fact that the west are taking these talented athletes from their home countries to ensure that the west can maintain their superiority in all sports.
ReplyDeleteIf Mohammed Farah and his family leave the UK and go back to Africa tomorrow I will be very happy. Especially if 100,000 other Africans do the same.
ReplyDeleteHow many people really care about 'sport'.(Not counting horse racing of course)
ReplyDeleteIf I want to see black people run fast I'll visit toxteths Granby street when the police drive through.
ReplyDeleteI can't have been the only Brit to have cheered when he fell over at the weekend, only to be thoroughly hacked off when he got up and won.
ReplyDeleteDon't like plastic Brits of any colour. Even the 1936 Olympic ice hockey winners - all white Canadians.
Shan't be watching TV until this whole corrupt smugfest is over.
ReplyDelete"Zola Budd?"
ReplyDeleteOh, indeed. I remember all that fuss!
"Isn't that the Somalian that doesn't pay UK Taxes..."
And that makes him different, how..? ;)
" I noted also that none of them recognised that their fares and travel time could be reduced if they lived nearer to where they worked."
They probably can't afford to!
"We wouldn't have had to repeatedly imprison two his two chronically recidivist, violent criminal brothers either. Swings and roundabouts."
Good point! I'd forgotten them. They never get in the papers, do they?
"If I want to see black people run fast I'll visit toxteths Granby street when the police drive through."
SNORK!
