Tour De Force: Britain Survives Al-Qaeda’s Rag Week For Live Earth

As the Sun says “BRITONS DEFIANT”.
We’ve seen off bigger and uglier foe than anything Al-Qaeda’s Rag Week can muster.
As the paper says: “Hundreds of thousands of Brits will defy the terror this weekend in a…”
Well, we British love quizzes. So can you guess what comes next? Is it:
a) …ten-minute silence
b) …march to Whitehall
c) … jumble sale?
All are right. Britain is a tolerant society that makes few judgements. Choice is all.
But the correct answer is d: Britons will thumb their noses at terror in “a two-day sport and music bonanza”.
We will cheer on the British Grand Prix. We will hoot and holler for Live Earth. And we will watch with concerned interest as men in skin-tight clothes, shaved legs and wraparound sunglasses make their way thought London. No, not Gay Pride (that was last week), this is The start of the Tour De France.
And what could make us more proud to be British than that?
Allez, Les Britishers. Encore! Honi soit qui mal y pense!
C’est la vie! Jeux Sans Frontières…
