George fucking Best

Why this incredible eulogy for a "sporting genius" who hasn't done anything for 30 years?
That's the question just asked on Any Questions. To which my response is I don't know, I don't care, he was a drunken old sop who wasted his life and the only thing he'd done since I was born was work through a succession of gorgeous women he didn't deserve

It's not news. I couldn't care less either way to be honest.

It'll be gone by the end of weekend - don't let it bother you.

Newspapers have to accomodate all tastes, including the middle aged idiocracy who love to see their heroes fall further than they did. Just suffer it...

It's not really the newspapers annoying me, it's Radio 4. I expect more from quality BBC news, it's not like there was nothing else happening worldwide.
