ISABELLE Westbury advocated our acceptance of our sports stars, such as Ben Stokes and Ben Duckett, as what they are.
Yes, there has to be an element of single-minded selfishness and devil-maycare, especially when stars are young and lively as are the duo above.
Westbury cited Gordon Brown as being a ruthless and grumpy b**tard in his political heyday.
But his mood tantrums were simply not in the same league as Duckett’s or Stokes’ public indiscretions.
