Mick Hume - arsehole of the month

Gonna have to delete the Spiked blog from my reader. Their 'editor at large' has just posed the question: 'Is it ethical to support In-ger-lund?' and replied 'No, of course it isn't - but so what? Let's keep football out of politics'.

What a prick. He goes on to say:

Now, like other Spiked writers, I consider myself an anti-colonial, anti-imperialist internationalist, and have argued and often marched against racism, nationalism and every one of Britain’s wars since 1981 – including the popular ones – from Northern Ireland or the South Atlantic to Kosovo or Afghanistan. However, I have no problem with wholeheartedly wanting England to win in this World Cup, whoever they are up against.

Well bully for you, you pathetic excuse for a man. That means you were objectively demonstrating for, respectively, Irish sectarian fascism, a genocidal military regime, ethnic cleansing and Islamic terrorist jihadism.

Very progressive.
