 | | Wednesday 12th February 2003 will long be remembered as a day of national shame; the day when the flower of English manhood, opened a can of beer, sat down in front of the television and watched aghast as its champions, men they trusted, allowed themselves to be beaten by Australians at football. |
 | | There will be those, ignorant of the ways of the world, who will say "Hey, the Aussies beat us at cricket, rugby, tennis and just about anything else so why should we bothered about a game of football?" Oh Lord, have mercy on them for they know not what they do. |
 | | As someone who could rather do with a cheque for £116 (the new license fee) right now, I seriously resent the assumption that tricking ever more money out of people is justified or good. |
