Killjoy

Sorry to be a killjoy, but why break the habit of a lifetime. The Killjoys in Brussels yesterday have shone a torch on what people take for granted, travel, travelling to work and travelling for leisure. There will be a Euro 2016 game in the French city of Lens on Thursday 16th June between England & Wales, 73 miles from Brussels as the injured crow flies. What better target for a couple of brotherly suicide bombers?  http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/ticketless-wales-fans-urged-stay-11004871
Because Wales, the country after which this blog is named, have not been anywhere competitively since 1958, the brouhaha in the UK media will be of the 'We will fight them on the beaches' nature but we all know what happened on a Tunisian beach last year. Before I am accused of being a Quisling and an appeaser to the Islamic state, I wish to state that I was calling them 'bastards' as I listened to the unfolding stories on yesterdays news but there is a difference as I have said before between fighting a known and an unknown enemy. They have sussed the white west's psychology and they know that indiscriminate bombings, be-headings and the use of social media will ultimately trickle through to panic and paranoia. There are so many of us that it is going to take a thousand years at least to get rid of us all and our filthy capitalistic, fascistic and some would say Christian thinking. Even though they do not respect 'us' perhaps we should think about respecting our own safety. Chris Coleman do ave banned the Wags like (apologies for the vernacular)

I hope that he will also have the good sense to ban any killjoy bloggers from the game as well.
