This might come as a complete shock but given the motorway has been shut for hours, they were rather jammed up as well......

Waking up at 3.20 this morning in my hotel room with a raging toothache. Luckily I did not know about the M4 closure at the time......

Mind you I wouldn't have given a fuck on two counts 1) my toothache 2) I'm on the IOW

I think it's closed in the opposite direction as well. As a result I'm pretty much the only person in the office.

Roy Hodgson having to apologise for something that isn’t offensive and shouldn’t be the slightest bit newsworthy.

Fucking British press

They had right as well just ban the use of the word 'monkey' at this rate.

Don't know what we will call monkeys though.

And now the Kick it out campaign are asking for a full investigation, the whole saga is too depressing for words...


"The matter has been raised by the chair, Lord Herman Ouseley, directly with the Football Association, who acknowledges the apology made by Roy Hodgson, and now seeks an investigation to ascertain the full facts and ensure a similar situation does not arise again."


"...ensure similar situation doesn't happen again"? What, that someone saying something in one context, is picked up by a single person and twisted into another context entirely? Hmm, tricky.

Depressing for sure.  Sir Herman Ouseley has done a lot of good work, but I think he's in danger of damaging a lot of that by making an issue of this.  Let it go, for God's sake.  No story here.

I think the offence is that in the joke is that judging by complexity of the task (and their pioneering role in space exploration) he is clearly talking about an ape - probably a chimpanzee - not a lowly monkey. Disgraceful.

Maybe I'm racist. I can't see that Hodgson has done anything wrong here. Is there anyone out there who thinks he's done something wrong? The world has gone mad.
