Selling at £124.99 for adults and £119.99 for kids, there is much to be offended by when it comes to the new England football shirt but i can't get worked up about the tiny flag of St. George on the collar that is blue and red rather than the traditional red and white.
Obviously there is a section of society who care more about it than the fact that a cheap polyester shirt which costs £10 to make is being flogged at such an extortionate price and at the head of the pearl grabbing outragers is Lee Anderson, the same guy who is such a patriotic Englishman that he once said he
wouldn't go to watch England while they continued to do the anti-racism kneeling thing but he is now a out and proud right winger so can rant with authority about: 'This virtue signalling, namby-pamby, woke nonsense' and then encouragingly added that if there was any more of this then he would 'be on the first flight to Rwanda' which is the only time i have regretted the Government not getting their Rwanda policy through. I guess we could all chip into cover the expense though.
Also outraged at a tiny fabric rectangle is the Prime Minister who said 'Obviously I prefer the original, and my general view is that when it comes to our national flags, we shouldn’t mess with them' calling them a source of pride and 'perfect as they are' but the FA has hit back saying it was part of a tribute to the team that won the World Cup in 1966 before undercutting their own argument by saying the colours are based on the training gear worn by England’s 1966 heroes which stinks of the FA desperately trying to find some tenuous link to justify the tinkering.
Obviously once the action starts at the Euro's in June it will all be forgotten and we will stand as one when England take the field, stand as one and shout 'DON'T LET KANE TAKE THAT PENALTY!!!'
