SIR: Newspaper headlines, media coverage wide and far, and for what - Paul Gascoigne, a footballer who can't even speak good English!
It does prove to me how all the wrong people and personalities can have such influence on daily life. I wish England the best of luck in the World Cup, but quite honestly I wouldn't put two bob on them! With or without Gazza!
The ruling classes are alive and kicking. Yes, but all the wrong sort! Sows ears never will make silk purses.
