​One aspect of the England team that has definitely improved as the matches have gone on is the ability of the team to sing the National Anthem.

In the first game they were terrible. They didn’t seem to know the words or if they did certainly didn’t want to let anybody know.

This contrasted poorly with other European teams. The Italians were particularly enthusiastic.
​
That all changed with last night’s game against the Ukraine. All eleven were in full roar. And it was great to see.

Another sight that cheers me up no end is the St George’s flags on what looks like mainly builders’ vans.

It is only seven years ago but feels like yesterday that the then Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry tweeted a photo of a semi-detached house in the Medway towns draped in English flags with a white van parked outside.

​Her photo was basically sneering at ordinary people. She was fired by Miliband and my sense has been that the photo is a constant reminder that Labour claim they are supporting the working classes but actually despise them.

Well Labour is an old idea and we are all free to show our flag and our pride these days. Thank God for that.

PS If you plan to buy either car or home insurance I wonder if you might look at my small price comparison site A Spokesman Said as we earn a little commission from each sale which helps fund the research and editorial costs of running the site. It has the same offer as the big ones like Go Compare. Thank you.
