South African Police Commissioner says London like South Africa
This interesting little report into the crime rate in South Africa comes after the murder of a "British" Asian couple who were car-jacked in South Africa while on their honeymoon and the woman was found murdered. South Africa subsequently found itself under criticism and scrutiny from the UK media which provoked an angry backlash from South Africa towards the UK who were basically told to put their own backyard in order before they start criticising South Africa. In a press conference this week, the South African Police Commissioner compared the crime rate of his country to the crime rate of London, claiming that when he visited London his driver refused to drive him to Brixton. Presumably for fears over his safety. What's the problem? He's black. Brixton is awash with black people. Doesn't he know, it's only unsafe if you're white! With a murder in South Africa every 2 days and a murder rate 15 times higher than London, South Africa and London are hardly the same when it comes to crime rates, however London is fast catching up with the influx of illegal immigrants from all over Africa.

BRITISH LIONS SOUTH AFRICA TOUR 1974
This is a potted compilation from a programme from the series "Sporting Legends". It features the historic British Lions Rugby Union tour of 1974 to South Africa where they became the first Lions to remain unbeaten in all games (and were robbed in the Fourth Test!!... look up the records if you feel the need!!). The tour went ahead despite South Africa being in the grip of apartheid. I am not defending nor criticising the decision to tour. All this clip is designed to do is to show the camaraderie and unity of the players on that tour and the stories that are related by the wonderful Scottish lock forward, the late Gordon Brown and the sublime, lyrical captain of the Lions - Willie John McBride. Music played a large part in the unity of the team (as seen on this clip) and the emergence of the anthem "The Flower of Scotland" is shown within this. Sadly, Gordon Brown (who was such a natural and had a marvellous delivery of a story) is no longer with us as he died in 2001 at age of 53 and Roy Williamson (of the Scottish folk duo The Corries) who wrote the anthem in 1965 also died too young in 1990. I am not a rampant Scot but an "Anglicised Welshman" but I loved the corinthian spirit of Rugby Union at that time and the fire of the Celts. I hope you enjoy the clip and not view it in any political way.

The Invincibles: The 1974 British and Irish Lions Tour of South Africa
Available on DVD from www.digitalclassics.co.uk and all major retailers. An extraordinary moment in the world of sport and politics In 1974 the South African apartheid regime was under worldwide condemnation; in defiance of a developing international policy to isolate South Africa, the British and Irish Lions rugby team controversially accepted the invitation to tour the country and play a test series against their ancient rivals, the Springboks. The resulting series was one of the most violent in Lions history; yet those 22 matches produced remarkable rugby, including many memorable tries. The Lions enjoyed unparalleled success and with some of the greatest players ever to grace the game, they went unbeaten, going down in rugby legend as The Invincibles. This film, which includes unique personal footage from the players, is both a thrilling celebration of a remarkable rugby team and a poignant reminder of the scale of change in South Africa since that landmark tour. Interviews include personal insights from the following: Willie-John McBride, Gareth Edwards, JJ Williams, JPR Williams, Fran Cotton, Roger Uttley, Fergus Slattery, Makhenkesi Stofile ( Minister of Sport RSA) and Peter Hain MP.
