Compare and
contrast
BLISS reminded me of
an incident recently.
This is Moeen Ali:
He plays cricket for
England. That makes him one of only eleven who do that. One of an
elite at the top of a pyramid, with ever wider ranks of County
players, Club Cricketers, local league cricketers, and at the bottom
very poor village (idiot) level players like me. Most of that pyramid
pay for the privilege of putting on whites and picking up a lump of
willow every week.
Moeen Ali happily
posed for photographs with fans when fielding on the boundary.
This is Joe Root.
He takes time and
trouble before walking from the field to the changing room to sign
all the autographs and pose for all the photographs the kids in the
family part of the ground could ever want.
Ian Botham carried
two bags. One had his cricket gear in it. The other was packed with
those miniature bats, which he signed and handed out to anyone who
wanted one.
I think these guys,
and cricketers in general, exude quality.
This is John
Prescott.
You would be
forgiven for asking whether the 'Two Jags' nickname arose from one
car per arse-cheek.
He's one of
three-hundred-odd politicians no-one cares for or about.
Asked for an
autograph by a young child visiting Portcullis House, he flew into a
“do you know how important and busy I am?” rage and refused.
After negotiation, he signed one whatever for the kids to share
between the twenty or thirty of them.
There are more war
refugees now than at any point since WWII.
There's another
success story for our politicians.
Prescott is typical
of the breed.
Self-important,
totally lacking in quality and humility.
