Contrast that to the attitude of our bunch...spoilt brats who care nothing for their country, but everything for money. Excuses like these just don't cut it...they just don't want it enough - as simple as.

Hear . . . Hear! Not only are we fast becoming the world's sporting duffers, we are in danger of losing our national identity altogether, thanks to the nincompoop PC Brigade who are subservient to no-one but themselves (and the mandarins of Brussels). Having spent the last 3-weeks in Portugal and witnessed their fantastic adherance to their native culture, I confess to feeling increasingly disheartened at the cowardly capitulation of our nationhood by the successive political factions that would deem to call themselves British.
