Is it like the YMCA dance M? Never seen him run to be honest.

Of course if they pay him, he then pays tax on that income. Of course they're not giving the money away, because having him, attracts sponsors, which drives up television rights etc. Its all business.

Except I do give to charities and causes. The reason I never buy a poppy, is that I have a monthly donation to the British Legion. I also am a regular supporter of a number of other charitable causes, mainly homeless and animal welfare. Although I used to volunteer at the local prison, teaching IT skills to inmates.

I seem to feed foxes too, the little c**ts regularly seem to be able to get my bins over. I can tell you that after spending thirty minutes putting everything back in the bin, I'm a long f**king way from feeling charitable....

The ones I listed were examples FFS.

I do not agree with the principle, so I could go back beyond Basil D'Oliveira being allowed to play cricket for England in the 1960's or indeed anyone that now plays for a country that is not their country of birth.

I sort of get the father/son thing, but only if that person has a dual nationality like Wilf Zaha but doesn't flip/flop between nations when it suits them.

Nationalism is a meaningless concept though, born out misguided ideas that difference is more significant than similarities in defining who we are in relation to other people.

Drawing ourselves in our distinction from others, rather than similarlities, creates a division of Us and Them mentality in culture, that ultimately serves no real purpose other than creating a means by which we can be manipulated in 'the national interest' to fulfil others agendas.

Its as dangerous as Communism, Fascism, as it draws people into the idea of conflict with each other.

Internationalism is a meaningless concept though, born out misguided ideas that similarity is more significant than differences in defining who we are in relation to other people.
Drawing ourselves in our similarity to others, rather than differences, creates a we all share a common outlook mentality in culture, that ultimately serves no real purpose other than creating a means by which we can be manipulated in 'international interest' to fulfil others agendas.
It’s as dangerous as Communism, Fascism, as it draws people into the idea that fundamental differences can be reconciled.
