Re: Why there should be no Lions spite thread this tour

Whilst Australia has become a lot less white and British than it was when my father was growing up there, as an assertion this surprised me, so I looked it up. In the 2022 census just over half Australians said they were of British and Irish descent. About 30% said Australian descent, with the larg...

Re: Why there should be no Lions spite thread this tour

Most of the leaders, during the periods of peak evil, returned to the UK, right? Probably as heroes.
