I remember the interview the kid gave afterwards. He's Scottish and after the camera stopped rolling in the sequence where E**land won the World Cup, the producer let him make a rude gesture to the retreating car.

'Slanderous'!? I reported one of your many bigoted and racist posts and shall continue to do so until you stop or are banned permanently. Whining because I like to see rules being enforced instead of growing as a person is the kind of attitude I expect from my five year old nephew.

Slanderous, yep, that's wot I said, nowt more low down than a grass, the Gestapo would have loved an informer of your calibre.
Shouldn't you be slagging Guy Gibson off at this juncture for murdering all them women and kids with that Dambuster bomb thingy? Wot about that other murdering swine Cheshire, he went and helped drop an atom bomb on those nice, polite little yellow people?


ps wish I could stop 'growing as a person', Alf Tupper's fish and chip suppers play merry hell with one's waistline.

I suggest you look up the meaning of the word 'slanderous' before using it since you may find it doesn't mean what you think it does.

Why should I be slagging Gibson by the way? Or Cheshire for that matter? Especially as Cheshire was there as an observer and found the whole experience genuinely shocking. In fact I believe it inspired his later work with his charity to a large degree.

Douglas Bader did a lot of work for people who were minus legs and other bits and bobs too. S'pect that was a guilty conscience for all those dead women and kids you said he was responsible for... while flying a fighter plane!

If you want to slag off Leonard Cheshire look no further than this.
