I watched that England/Belgium game and England were very lucky to win it. Belgium played the better football and deserved to win, having said that the goal was a good one. On paper the great English team should have beaten the minnows of Belgium by at least 8 goals like they used to years ago.
I certainly don't think it was something to be "proud" about. Very boring actually.

That sounds like an admission of guilt to me, still, if the cap fits!!

Personally I think pride should be reserved for something one achieves instead of an accident of birth.

It's totally wrong that the taxpayer has to keep the richest woman and her extended family in a manner to which they have been born into. If she wants to be Queenie let her pay for it, God knows she can afford it without taxpayers help!!

Thats true. No help from the UK Gov. on that either I'm afraid, they're all as bad as each other over trying to look like they are doing something about climate change.

Lol!, ditto re that and the monarchy. But neither are important enough to make me vote against independence.......though I may do a lot of whining if there isn't any party in an Independent Scotland who will stop erecting pointless windmills and give us a referendum to decide if we want a monarchy or a republic.

Mind you, I'd rather have a republic with a figurehead president on the lines of the monarchy (kinda like Priness Anne myself)....or the one the Republic of Ireland has than yet another politician dictating to us from the depths of their ignorance

Just how would this would-be vainglorious republic generate its electricity without "pointless windmills"?

We could always cease control of the nuclear submarines in the Clyde & turn their energy production to civilian use.

To be clear, I'm thinking of low carbon generation.
