Apparently once he said he supported Scotland and

anyone that played England :)


It was a joke and he never brought a Paraguay shirt

And he is truly delighted to be where he is - you can see it clear as day, if you look hard enough.

I've always liked him, yes he comes across as a bit grouchy sometimes, but I warm to that sort of straightforward unpretentiousness much more than I do to someone like Federer, with his flowing locks and absurd monogrammed costumes. And he's a fantastic player to watch, a "battler" who seems to chase down every ball.


I have no problem with him representing Britain - although I guess the flag-bearer perhaps seems a little incongruous.

    • Our latest guest says that politicisation of universities is unhealthy, and the equation "Empire = Evil" is not historically tenable. He was used to speaking openly. Then in 2017 a Cambridge academic posted on social media in response to Biggar's proposed project looking at the Good and the Bad in Empire: "OMG this is serious shit. We Must CLOSE THIS DOWN." In his words, he saw there was a problem. Problems remain with embedded intolerance but this new member of the House of Lords still aspires to determine the truth of things. Meet Lord Biggar of Castle Douglas CBE, Regius Professor Emeritus of Moral & Pastoral Theology at Oxford University, on his visit to Peckham to talk with Chris Haydon and a small invited audience.  
    • What has any of this got to do with Gala?
    • I suspect Lambeth's legal team have decided that it is far better to potentially upset a High Court judge (maybe beg for forgiveness) than face the wrath of the legal teams of event organisers, promoters, service providers who would come after them for a lot of money if the event had to be cancelled. Clearly the original error was on the part of the council so I suspect that would make them liable for any losses/reputation damage incurred due cancellation/disruption.
    • I suspect it was putting "not bankrupting Lambeth Council" considerations first. Cancelling those festivals at a week to go could have been financially catastrophic and may have unleashed financial hell on Lambeth.
