Sore Losers, English Style

    Sports fans in England are so unhappy that their team lost to Italy in the Euro2020 final recently that they want a replay, otherwise they will leave the European Football Association.
   They got a senior British government official to say the English team was "not representative of our green and pleasant land," but included sons of "black African pickaninnies (cq) with watermelon smiles and Muslim mothers," according to a report in the Irish Times. The writer quoted a letter by David George Hamilton Frost, chief Brexit negotiator for the UK. (Not the same David Paradine Frost of TV fame.)
   In addition, Frost's letter pointed out that "four of the current England side are of Irish background ... a country which has never been other than a source of deep and ongoing distress to England for over 800 years."
   Frost added, "We believe we should be allowed to field a team of proper Englishmen for a real Euro 2020 final and not as happened in Wembley on July 11th."
