That confused the absolute fuck out of me until I saw the date of the article. Handy reminder to get the nibbles in though, so thank you.

Ian Botham has been given the role of trade envoy to Australia because that's a totally normal thing to do.

As bizarre as that seems it just reinforces my belief that senior politicians and trade figures don't have (or need) any particular skill set, training or specialist education. Simply a network of contacts and a profile.

Not even that. The only qualification in this government is 'wealthy and like brexit'

Personal politics aside, I'm not sure they've thought this through. The general public in Oz absolutely hate Botham. Whilst the politicians may differ, I can see them resisting his efforts (ha!) if it plays well with their voters.

And his pomp was 30 years ago now. The general public mainly knows him as the right wing idiot who hates his wife and gets his knob out on the internet.
EDIT: More like 40. Fuck my actual life

This isn't really surprising but it's also a bit of a nothing appointment. Far more important things to get annoyed about at the moment.

Mmmmmnnn.... I dont know about that. Appointing a cricketer as a trade envoy is ridiculous but kind of funny but, bigger picture, its another example of them putting completely unqualified people into positions just because they share the right ideology.
In and of itself, yes, Botham lol. But *every* person in our government is a Botham. Its Bothams all the way down.

The more time he spends in Australia the less time he's in the Lords where he can do more damage.

Fuck my actual life That will play pretty well in Aus! I can't really speak for Australia but to get the public onside in New Zealand is pretty easy. There's a weird insecurity that's existed for decades so whenever a famous Brit or a Yank heap the praise on (beautiful scenery, friendly people, the food blah blah blah) it's literally on the front page of the papers. |

Make them look even more idiotic? I'm sure that's something they could pull off 100% so tired of these anti-vax filth, trying to break into places. The government need to let the police fuck them up a bit with tasers or shotgun rounds, whatever past caring about these smooth brains |

I can already imagine there are tweets calling her a centrist baby killer. Because that's what you are if you're centrist. Apparently.

I know this doesn' make any sense but we need a radical centrist movement. A movement that highlights just how fucking stupid the various sides of the political discourse are. A movement that screams just as loud as the fucking idiots.
