Boooooooooooooo (part 1)
It has become apparent that there is only one thing that the British are world champions at and that is art of booing. This was proved recently at the Lloyd Mayweather, Ricky Hatton fight in Las Vegas where the American national anthem was booed by a large percentage of the brits in the crowd.
I am sure that there were a number of people in the crowd who didn’t boo and were as embarrassed as i was at the actions of their fellow ‘Brits’ and would like to think that those who did boo felt embarrassed the next day once the lager had worn off but i very much doubt it.

They never feel embarrassed – they are the same sort of halfwits who chant “two world wars and one world cup” at the Germans (at a football match). – Now I can see how that would work if we were at war again – we clearly have the advantage and it might add to the moral imperative, however, if we’re at the football and playing Germany they’d be quite right to sing out “drei Welttassen, drei europäische Meisterschaften oh, und zwei welttassen frauen” which could be a mouthful but depressingly accurate. the problem is that when the chips are down (as they so often are for British sport) the loutish xenophobe is king – and wearing a natty plastic bowler hat from The Sun to boot.
