Thought for the day

I hate football. I can't see why anyone watches it. I don't believe it has any good effects on players or spectators. It horrifies me to see children – children! – dressed by their parents in football shirts when they are far too young to think for themselves. Is this not child abuse? I treasure the knowledge that football is responsible for many riots and at least one war. I bitterly resent that a portion of my licence fee goes to fund football, and that the BBC is full of football propaganda. My organisation may be tiny, but there are millions of people who agree with me.

So, should I be given equal time on Match of the Day?
