    We need people who look to the stars, holding the nation and the world in their hearts but at the same time we need down-to-earth people who can do serious and trying work.

    In a definite sense, a country's power and prestige isn't only a reflection of its economic power but also a reflection of its people's quality and morality. Moreover, I think the latter is actually more important in the long-term.

    Er, the bit that is tax payers' money funded?

    I hate the whole testicle. A big warm glow from a contrived love in. As for what'll happen to the accommodation and stadia when the circus has moved on; crusties will occupy the 'village' and pikeys will have parked up in the stadia.
