  • Many words have multiple meanings. The same word in different contexts can be offensive or legitimate. We should pay attention to that. Tap most people today, and ‘globalist’ would mean exactly that for them – e.g. global economic policy or, Heaven forbid MG, what is now called in some circles ‘Global History’. So, there is a certain arrogance in claiming that the word ‘globalist’ matters for one reason only and means one thing only. ‘Therefore your snotty condescension about the proper use of a highly charged English word is directed at a world-renowned English historian and founder of New Statesman magazine, not some Yank you don't like’.

  • Si - you and I see this issue very differently. That’s ok by me but I think if we play well and loose it will take the wind out of our sails and we will miss out on Europe. On the other hand, if we beat them, I think we will go the rest of the season undefeated. Looking at the table here this morning the opportunity in front of us is there for all to sea. Fifth is possible! Come on the Blues!!!...
