Someone you really admire.

I’d give Angela one.

Mark Evans. Fu¢ker can make anything. Talent falling out his hole. Admire him...... And envy him biggly.

Without discovery behind him he would be no where.

Jeremy Corbyn. A decent human being and an accidental leader, who always remained dignified and polite throughout four years of vicious attacks, lies and smears from an establishment that was terrified of the prospect of a fair and just society.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

I'll start. Angela Merkel for me. In my mind the most important person, woman, and European of the 21st century. A towering figure of European politics for the past 20 years. A committed Social/Christian Democrat; a child of the Iron Curtain, a pragmatist, a beer drinker, a fundamentally decent human being. Opinion polls that came out today show she has a 78% approval rating with the German people, and I know people here are starting to hope she reconsiders her decision to retire as Chancellor.

For you?

As a quick side question, for which I only ask a single reply, rather than de rail the thread.

Why? Why would anybody possible tolerate, let alone laud her, for the disaster of crime, terrorism and welfare dependency she led Germany in to with her handling of the migrant crisis? I do not pretend to know the ins and outs of the German Covid related budget deficit, but I am going to assume Germany would currently be in a more healthy state to see this through if it had not imported so many of these people, all of them in need of state supported housing and many of them still reliant on welfare.

One might correctly point out the above link is from a right wing organisation, but the incidents which it documents are all lifted from, and links given, to mainstream German media. It documents circa 150 incidents of sex offences of varying degrees of severity committed in a given year between January and March alone. Mostly seeming to involve nationalities predominant during the migrant crisis (23 mentions of the word Afghan, 13 Syrian, 4 Pakistan, 9 Morocco, 19 unknown suspects desribed as African or North African, 17 unknowns described as Arab). And these are just the incidents the people compiling this article were able to find via the media.

I just find it astounding that someone who introduced so much destruction and suffering on her own state doesn't have the public calling for her execution, much in the same way Tony Blair is arguably the most hated individual in modern British history. I know from your post history you detest left wing nonsense, so why laud a leader who embraces this kind of lawless thuggery and welfare dependency?

That isn't even to mention what seemed at times to be twice or thrice monthly incidents involving motorists and knifemen attacking random people in the streets, only for the incident to seemingly disappear nowhere and the unnamed assailant to be classed as a German citizen with long standing mental health issues. I take it Germany doesn't have a tradition of investigative journalism.

Anyway. As for the original question. Tyson Fury. Came back from absolute rock bottom, obesity, addiction, depression, didn't let the fact his first fight against Wilder was stolen off him keep him down, came back even harder in the second. A very funny character and seems a good bloke all round (Kinahan incident aside. Boxing isn't black and white, you want to do business you deal with nefarious characters, always been that way)

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.

She is beloved by Irish eternal students who fear having to work for a living and opinions that differ from their own.
