AS one might have predicted, the English newspapers were all crowing on Monday about how wonderful it was that 11 English women had beaten 11 German women. At least two of my of my neighbours are flying St George’s flags. Why don’t they move to England if they want to support English victories? Why doesn’t my MP (John Lamont, God help us)?
My suspicion is that the English have nothing else to celebrate. Their government is a shambles, their NHS is in crisis, and the whole “United” Kingdom has been crippled by Tory austerity. Luckily, their women have succeeded in winning a game to restore their ailing confidence.
