@antipodean yeah , not sure what I'd do in the same situation if some shysters were offering enchanted potato chips to cure my cancer.
Actually I do, stock up on ammo and get them to form an orderly queue. I'd be dead before they bought it to trial and the world would get to know if homeopathy can cure a bullet wound to the head.

@MN5 you were the one that said some of his views were outdated....so from your comment it didnt seem quite that obvious you were grasping it...guess that close loss to England still grating!

Meads could come across as hard nosed in his attitudes even in his own era ,
Best to keep him away from the PC brigade in this era
Not being a fan of drinking and driving is PC?
Wasn't referring to that in particular, I just meant in general -

@MN5 he is from a different era, quite a different era, life was much different back then so he, as many of his age and generation have a different outlook on alot of things.
Thanks for that captain obvious....you need to move with the times or keep your outdated views quiet. Even Clint got on with the slopes that lived next door to him by the end of Gran Torino after all
Didn't get on with all the Hmong people though...

Just the ones that reminded him of the fucks he used to stack five feet high and use as sandbags.

@kiwiinmelb Meads could hold his own in a debate though. In the mid-70's he took on quite a few anti-apartheid figures and argued the case for using sport as an agent of change extremely well.
His 1975 biography talked openly about problems with rural poverty - particularly among the Maori - and was years ahead of it's time it drawing attention to a subject which in that era was swept under the carpet
