Stokes Arrested

Australia seemingly has more laws than most Western countries. Feels a more draconian place to live than most I've been to.

Looks like the overseas chapter of the IPA has joined CW. You should catch up with Corrin for some fervent agreement. I’d say Ikki too, but no one deserves that.

In light of the recent ***ual equality vote in Australia I believe it would be foolish for Cricket Australia not to roll out the red carpet for Ben Stokes. A man who has proven himself to be a LGBT champion and defender of a gay couples rights to have a night out without harassment.

Dare I say, it would a backward political statement by James Sutherland and the rest of the CA cronies if they didn't provide Stokes with some sort of celebratory event, similar to ones awarded to CA patrons like Bradman and Benaud, neither of whom came close to Stokes' social and political achievements.

lol could I rant one or two quite particular subjects along these lines. Not the ones that get discussed regularly on here either.

But I won't because being angry and depressed is worse than just being depressed.

Cheer up mate, we have the Ashes starting in two days :).

And I know that depression is way more than feeling sad. And you should seek help for that. Mental health issues are not to be taken lightly.

But seriously, give yourself something to look forward to - we have the Ashes starting in a couple of days :).

Alan Turing would still be with us had Ben Stokes been around.

Look at that stare, intimidation mixed with a deep caring for social justice.

The man is a champion of equality yet has no equals. The contradictions, like his left hook, are mind shattering.

I don’t care if he’s guilty of a crime.
I don’t care if he was defending others from crime.
I care that he’s an awesome cricketer.

Send Stokes over and we’ll see if we can’t make a series out of this.
