I had a completely novel experience today. Something I've never actually experienced before in my whole life. I felt sorry for a politician.
Poor old Mitt Romney on his visit to the United Kingdom is now trying to play up his British heritage, claiming to be 'a guy from Great Britain', married to a 'girl from Wales'. All of this, of course, follows on from his supposed 'gaffs' about Britain being ready for the olympics, which recently caused both the British prime Minister and the Major of London to have a bit of a go at him in public.
Poor guy, he was only answering some dumb interview question that were nothing to do with his job, and he didn't really say anything bad. He just didn't realise that we Brits love to moan. Its our favourite hobby really. So it was innivitable there would be some negative stories coming out of the British press in the run up to the olympics. But just because we love going on about how rubbish we are, doesn't mean we'll take it when someone else says so... (Editorial)
