Sometimes I just do not know what I think. On the one hand I am proud to come from a country with a free press and a degree of transparency in public affairs. On the other we have a publicly funded broadcaster clearly working against the national interests. Then we have corruption with expenses, cash for questions etc at Westminster. It seems that this country likes to project a holier than thou attitude in everything, but I have no doubt when you scratch beneath the surface we’re no better than anyone.
As usual we have the media whipping up a storm about how we’ve got the best bid and at the same time putting out stories that would give Fifa every reason not to give us the World Cup, sick of this country I really am.

Red:
