I heard some complete nincompoop (Don't you just love that word:-) )on the radio the other day.

"Winning the world cup is a wonderful achievement for Britain!"

What? Did we have Irish, Scottish and Welsh men on our team? Are they suggesting that our neighbours helped us to win? I am English and proud of it. Just as much as I am Mancunian and proud of it. Or am proud of my Polish, Russian or Welsh ancestry!

In answer to the original question - I don't know why he was boo'd either but it was probably a combination of his attitude towards the English and just that fact that all politicians are fair game;-)

Cheers
