For supporting brexit, being made a trade envoy to Australia, which means he can enjoy 1st class flights and hotels and expenses whenever he wants, all at the tax payer expense. Nice "work" if you can get it. |  | | |  |

Why not him? Seems like a fairly intelligent man for a sportsman. Supports the idea of non-EU trade deals and understands the Aussies will try and cheat given half the chance. He will open doors that a faceless white collar bureaucrat can't. |
Seems intelligent?
He seems to me a bit thick, even on cricketing matters which you might expect him to know about. |  |

Would you like to be operated on by a plumber? |
Why not as a plumber, who has recently undergone a triple heart bypass, when explained to me how the blood flow through the heart works I could see similarities with a heating system the heart is basically a pump. |  | | |

Good man Sir Ian. Won't let this country down, & Aussies respect him. Nice work giving Ian Chappell a smack all those years ago! Anyone who makes an Ashes hundred at Brisbane is a top man. |  | | |

Do you really think he will be the one doing the negotiating and not just there for the meet and greets? He is more than qualified for that position.
Love that people are up in arms about Botham, but not the orange flag waving bigot Jeffrey Donaldson getting a similar appointment. |
That's true enough. He's not there for his intelligence or his trade knowledge. He's basically the mascot and the entertainer while the civil servants do the real job. It doesn't really matter who fills such a role, but it is interesting to see who benefits from these rewards. Just another example of cronyism in this government. I'm sure it always goes on, but it does seem particularly prevalent these days. |  |

Some of you guys are acting like he will actually do some technical work and not just glad-hand lots of wine dealers and cheese makers at the Embassy once a month. |  |

It always goes on, and I say this as a card carrying leftie, its not just the Tories. Blair was renowned for rewarding cronies with jobs as tsars, quango heads and life peerages.
It's just that people know Botham, so somehow he is singled out as being unqualified. |  | | |

As a card carrying leftie can you review your hourly rates please?

Can’t you employ your plumbing skills to sort that one out, leakers? |  |

On a serious note I don't really get this left and right thing - you can get too boxed in with all that.
My politics are all over the place, left to right.
How are you dear boy anyway? I see big bruv is in UK, he text me last night. | |

Absolutely. Identity politics, whether left-right or labour-tory, is all tosh.
Can't complain mi'lord. That said, I'm going to the game Saturday, so I'm sure I will complain after that. | |

I can't make it as I'm working Saturdays at present. I will go to the first night game - not sure when that is.
Roly okayed the repeal of my stadium ban - and the boy as well.
