In response to Kathy Gyngell: My picks of the week on TCW, derekandclive wrote:

I see the Conservative party have just agreed with the EU that England didn’t actually win the match yesterday as they didn’t know what they were playing for – Mrs May has therefore agreed to pay them £400trillion in compensation and give them full rights to decide the results of all future England games and to replace any England players they don’t like with immigrants of their choice – all former England-supporting Conservative MPs have enthusiastically backed this proposal after finally admitting that they never really supported England in the first place but were actually pretending to in order to fool supporters into thinking they were patriotic, when in reality they were already fully signed up to Mrs May’s away supporters club – the party has now declared they will be cheering both France and Belgium on Tuesday and be campaigning for the losing side to replace England in their next match so we remain fully aligned to Brussels sports policy.
