Subject: RE: BS: Livingstone booed at Trafalgar Square
As a Scot I was pleased for the English as winning a world event is quite a superb achievement. I was just a bit surprised that 750,000 English people would flood the streets of London to celebrate a game which demands the kicking, biting and stamping on players heads when only 250,000 turned up to protest about violence in Iraq... and there was no warning from the police to keep away as such a massive turnout could be a danger to security as there was in the anti war protest.
