And football fans will do what they do best.
Get smashed at the pub. Yell at the TV. Get mad and beat their spouse when they return home.
Potentially controversial opinions:
A. We don't need to drink to enjoy the match. We've already had 6 England games quite early in the day without the need.
B. The government, with a bit of foresight and any degree of competence, could have legislated for this exemption given they control parliament and therefore hold ultimate power, at least for England maybe.
C. Of course, it's the lefty councils fault for not doing day PrOpEr PeOpLe want!?!?!
That might be the worse website I’ve ever tried to open. Even in reader mode it was impossible!
WHAT DO WE WANT?
