Hitler believed in the superiority of the Aryan race. I don't.
Hitler also believed in the economic benefits of a modern motorway system. So do I.
If the latter makes you think I'm a Nazi, you're a fool to be mocked then ignored.
@ValMThatcher@nthtofly@jgault13 With the exception perhaps, sporadically, of the fins , the 1500m historically was dominated by nations with a miler pedigree., or by North Africans who were also milers
@ripx4nutmeg@StevenJMethven The inappropriateness in this one case was a wretched campaign of bullying and angry harassment bordering on the psychotic of the wife of his co-presenter Brian Cox for refusing to bow to his bizarre unscientific opinion on transwomen. That Cox seemed to broadly agree with ...
Had lng had my own views on what happened re the Belfast Agreement referendum; copperfastened by what I'm pretty certain occured with Scottish indyref, specifically in Edinburgh. The words "thumb on the scale" spring to mind.
In any event, I would VERY much require ...
@irish_news@carlalockhart Easy answer, Carla.
Unionism gets 2500+ marches on its own terms, and partially loses out on 5 or 6 truly contentious ones arising from the disposable behaviour of your own tribe.
Blow up Scarva etc, and watch 2500+ marches become contested.
You have so, SO much more to lose.
@SimonCatRiley@LucidTalk Glad you got that clarification and impressed you sought it and have acknowledged it. One can be entirely partisan without being biased, and to be fair, you've very much shown that here. Chapeau.
@eviestaysgolden@jgault13 At least four.
World indoors. Champ.
Commies. Champ.
ULCh. Champ
Crack at world record. Broke it.
The key is obviously he didn't do the 'curcuit' and the industry resents that, and that's fair, it's their industry, their awards.
I doubt Kerr cares.
@Valerian_Brand@WildernessXII@jgault13 Whether you are the 'best' is not really related to being on any circuit. You just are, or your not, the best.
But I agree, you won't win industry awards while thumbing your nose at the industry. Which is why it's best not to worry about the industry and its award season.
@Valerian_Brand@WildernessXII@jgault13 ...meets trying to sell tickets, and the industry therefore loves him, regardless of personality.
Kerrs spiritual ancestor is Coe. They hated him too, and he didn't care either. He, too, picked his target meets and screw the rest.
@Valerian_Brand@WildernessXII@jgault13 Add in that simply as a personality, Kerr rubs up the industry the wrong way because he doesn't care what they think, or bend over to help them and mocks them, and you get your answer.
Mondo rubs lots of people the wrong way too, but is Bubka style record antics are great for...
@TrackCHill@jgault13 He won a world title indoors, and the closest the year had to one outdoors. He broke an iconic world record inbetween.
I think swerving the bulk of the Diamond League season annoys some. Fair enough.
@nthtofly@jgault13 Anyone with the least genuine interest in athletics cares about the mile. It's an iconic, historied event, much more so than 1500m.
Kerr suffers from not being like abroad because he's arrogant, and backs it up. I doubt he'll be particularly concerned by the 'snub'.
@canfordheather@janeclarejones We often use horseshoe theory to show how far left and far right tend to eventually meet at an intersection of authoritarian violence, antisemitism, racism. We should probably be clear that misogyny and sexual deviance defended tend to be there too.
@HumzaYousaf Imagine how different your attitude would be if he were trans identifying. Maybe call himself Isla.
You'd give him a full buffet of trapped vulnerable women prisoners to molest, and call it progressive.
Me? Happy he rots with all the other shitgead rapist fellas.
