We have much to learn from a more civilised mainland Europe, witness the scum that trail after English football teams, and wonder why the citizens of the Mainland tolerate us, even the towns of sunny Spain can look on in bewilderment at the druken slobs that are a summer pestilence, yes, as far as civilisation goes we are light years behind.

Study how its done there must be a lesson to learn from mainland Europe.
