Some years ago, The Sun, an alleged ''Newspaper'', wrote that the British National Party wanted to kick out Black footballers, and were ''Anti'' Irish and ''Anti'' Semitic. Amongst other smears, they said that the BNP would harm sport, and the health service, and also damage the economy of Britain. In one week alone, we have seen some things that could potentially do all three, without a single BNP activist or voter in sight.
In the opening scenes of the early excitement, and much vaunted match between Germany and England, Wayne Rooney was seen in the now infamous line up of 2010, NOT singing the National Anthem. Regardless of personal opinions of readers, who lately could be rightly annoyed with the whole establishment's treachery to the people of Britain, Rooney was part of the ''England'' football team. Where was this player's respect for his country of birth?
The BNP means harm to no one, however, the disaster that was ''England's Shame'' on the world stage, and subsequent attitudes from players, will set the future agenda for all of us, as we will really see what those of foreign origin think about us as we head for economic destitution and embarrassment on the world stage.
