Has KJT only got a double-barrelled surname because she was born out of wedlock? It can’t be class based because she’s childhood friends with Jodie Comer.

It’s quite popular to have more than one name amongst working class folk. On Council Estates they are known as aliases.Has KJT only got a double-barrelled surname because she was born out of wedlock? It can’t be class based because she’s childhood friends with Jodie Comer.

They need to have a separate award for the lifetime achievement types.
Broad has had a glittering career and has done loads for cricket. He had a good Ashes but nothing spectacular and he was ultimately on the losing side.
We have this every year where they sentimentally wedge people who had 25-year long careers in with people who have achieved specific things this year and it just makes the whole thing contrived because different people are voting on an entirely different basis.
If you ask me, it should probably go to KJT who seems like the only genuine winner on this list.
Rory has had a good year in the PGA and a good Ryder Cup but didn’t win any of the majors. Dettori, great career but see my point above. England’s women lost the World Cup final - we seem too keen to award glorious losers when we have genuine winners to award things to. We didn’t give it Henderson when England lost the Euro final. Wheelchair tennis is admittedly something I don’t know enough about but probably doesn’t have the popularity.

Spot the rag player and the rag supporter in that photo.The only one I recognise is Katarina Johnson-Thompson. Am I watching the wrong sports?
Now that is good.It’s quite popular to have more than one name amongst working class folk. On Council Estates they are known as aliases.

Fucking Rory McIlroy he doesn't even play a sport. Someone carrys his bats and tells him which bat to use. He just walks and hits a little ball about 70 times in 6 hours .......knackering ah !
