[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 124651"] So, because I'm a "pom", I have no right to feel cheated or disappointed by the fact that one of the biggest and most recognisable brands in world sport is going to be scrapped because its "not PC"? And I have no right of reply? Tosh sir, absolute tosh. I bet you voted for Helen Clark too (who, incidentally, says bugger all at the Commonwealth Heads of State meetings because, oh, we wouldn't want to antagonise anyone! Get some backbone you lazy Kiwis!) This is not what the people want. The government want to settle scores basically with what they see as the last remenants of the old order in South Africa and to be frank, I bet the people couldn't care less. However, we hear the magic word "apartheid" and suddenly, bam! It becomes a [i]cause célèbre[/i] amongst the luvvies wanting to change for change sake. I pray that they do. I honestly pray that they do. [/QUOTE]
