We are all racist now.

If you thought a mild celebration was in order following England's victory in the T20 world cup can I suggest that your enthusiasm does not include any display of the flag of St. George.

If Frank the plank scores - not very likely I admit - in the upcoming soccer world cup we can expect anarchy in the uk.

I remember this story from a few years ago. I have been contemplating putting England flags on the windows of my work van. Not because I especially think this is the best way to show my pride at being English, but because I'm almost certain Royal Mail will have already come up with a rule saying that I can't do it. It would be amazing if all the time, effort and brain power in this country that went towards pointless legislation so that channel 5 can gain advertising revenue (injured by a banana that was bent by more then 32 degrees?) went towards constantly stimulating the economy!

We're all Keynesians now!

Spare a thought however for the Somalis who were dying to watch the world cup and are now doing so.
