I polite reply Treehugger,

I think he made a brief reference to people coming together and comradeship, any reference to the world cup was purely an analogy. Although I can’t commend the gentleman on the state of Hyndburn I cannot condemn the man for his contribution to the Commemoration Service which was in my view sincere, appropriate and above all relevant.

Mick I’m sorry I didn’t see you there, I would have like too. Mr Jones. Thank you.
