Well the obvious problem is that it is not comedic simply true!!
As for the BBC even being allowed to screen that Programme before the bid - I amazed Cameron had never heard of a D notice!!! WEll they won't be in power then anyway.
Probably a break away section of Al Quaida will hold the balance

I don't think you should use the word comedy to describe this thing. It's rather offensive to the other countries involved, but worse, it's not even funny. (I don't mind comedy that could be classed as insulting as long as it's actually funny!)

I can't believe there are grown men crying over losing the world cup bid....have they actully looked at the state of this country....if we are not careful, we will end up like Russia 40 years ago, i think we have a lot more to worry about than a world cup bid.... The only people that would benefit from such an event anyway are the players and the orginisers, as usual, we would be left paying for it.. same as the Royal Wedding, now don't get me started on that one,............. well maybe a little, £20,000,000 for wedding, we are in the grip of the worst recession for decades, with much worse to come, and they think it's ok to flaunt their wealth, talk about rubbing your nose it......disgraceful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh that feels better, thanks x
