    Maybe, but I think that response is untypically naive and a little simplistic on your part young Mr. Faber, especially from someone who runs a forum which bans such words as s-x, t-en and v-tal.

    In the current climate they had to do something...whether it is proportionate or not is the question.

    Personally I remain proud of the stance taken and the role played by sport, particularly cricket, in the fight against Apartheid all those years ago and the attitude displayed towards Basil D’Oliveira.

    Robinson’s tweets appear to represent the antithesis of those actions. If they’d been written recently I would unhesitatingly say he should be suspended but I’m not comfortable with judging someone on who they were in their late te en age years...plus he’s a fast bowler so probably a bit dim.
    Not comfortable with people like the Culture Secretary jumping on the simplistic and populist bandwagon either. This issue is many things but one thing it isn’t is simple.
