What on earth has David Cameron been doing courting a load of corrupt potentates of the world’s wealthiest game, trying to bribe them with a “grassroots fund” when we should be putting them on the interpol most wanted list?  I love any opportunity to kick the BBC, but frankly they did us a favour by avoiding this Olympic sized farce (pun intended).

We can’t talk about spending taxpayers money wisely and then have this Millennium Dome Mark III.

I actually love the World Cup, as it was while watching the Mexico World Cup that I realised that football can be a genuinely beautiful game, rather than the twice weekly winter punishment.  I even managed to con my football hating wife into agreeing to see a World Cup game if we won the bid.

Now if only the BBC could sufficiently annoy that other bunch of undemocratic, corrupt and undistinguished foreigners and get the European Union to chuck us out then I would be really happy to pay my licence fee for the 24 hour Labour party political broadcast in White City.
