Well the BBC certainly stuck the boot in on Monday. Doubtless there is s alot of corruption in FIFA, more or less confirmed with the winning bids, but to broad cast that programme 3 days before your country is asking for the votes of the accused, that is dumb. It should be renamed the ABBC, (Anti British Broad casting Corp).
Oh fuck off. The Panorama programme had about as much to do with it as the Sunday Times expose or the Mail on Sunday hatchet job on Triesman (both of who's sister papers have been among the leaders of the anti-BBC pack this week).
You've directly contradicted yourself immediately after:
Putin, didn't go cos he knew they'd bought enough votes.
Corruption is a way of life both in Russia & the Arab gulf states, & thanks to oil & gas they both have enough money to grease enough palms with silver.
Which is it? The "BBC as a threat to the nation" or obvious corruption in the whole process?
Here's a list of other stuff you could randomly blame:
1) The Sunday Times/Mail on Sunday/News of the World - all done bid-damaging exposes
2) Prince William, obviously secretly subverted the bid because he and his family are German
3) Villa/Birmingham fans
4) David Cameron associating himself with the bid - no-one likes him at the best of times and everyone hates a kiss-ass, double whammy
5) Nick Clegg. Just because he's a twat
6) The FA for being one of the most staggeringly incompetent governing bodies in the history of football (after FIFA, of course)
7) The bid team for including the abomoniation that is Milton Keynes
The bid team for focusing on the technical bid when they should have been hawking round envelopes full of cash.
9) David Icke. That bastard's bound to be at the bottom of it somewhere along the line.
BBC, my fucking arse. Do me a bloody favour.
