This Trafalgar commemoration thing going on today looks like it'll be pretty spectacular but what's with the red vs blues? It was Britain against the French and Spanish, and we won. Now I'm sure that "they" have come to terms with this so just who are we worrying about upsetting?

PC gone mad, once again.

I hope we're blue, as a Man City fan I struggle with "Come on reds"....

Quoth William Hague:

"In case you're unsure of who to cheer for, the cheese eating surrender monkeys are in blue"

Not that I'd advise you to maintain the level of political correctness that they held in that particular episode of Have I Got News For You ;)

At least you can use the term "reds;" here, it's offensive to the Native Americans...and the Republicans...


well, not so much offensive to the Republicans all the time since I guess they're proud to be red, but used in the right context it could be I suppose.
