Tolerance, No tolerance

So, Tony Henry (English) is singing the Croatian Anthem at Wembley prior to England’s drubbing. He mispronounced a word and so actually sung "My Dear, my penis is a mountain". Are The Croatians outraged? Are Embassies being torched? Are people rioting on the streets? No. Croat fan websites have been calling for Mr Henry to be given a medal of honour for helping the players relax, they also want him made an official team mascot for the tournament.

In Sudan an English Teacher asked children to vote for their favourite name for a class teddy bear. They chose Mohammad. Presumably this is because they are good Muslim children & you’d expect that god might be pleased. The Teacher was detained on Sunday on suspicion of insulting Islam's prophet. She faces 40 lashes or six months in jail. The school has been shut because they feared reprisals.

You couldn’t make it up.
