SIGN OF THE TIMES


This is the image chosen by Times online to illustrate the news that the Gloucester wing Lesley Vainikolo had been named in the England rugby union squad. Vainikolo was born in Tonga and used to play rugby league for Bradford Bulls.

Does anyone else think that the Times online picture editor is either a) racist; b) a Twickenham debenture holder or c) both?

I think it's d)neither. The Volcano is just what's needed to blow away the conservative minded "Old Farts" who run the RFU and The Times chose a picture to reflect the shock value of the selection.
