World Cup big screen
Someone in Canary Wharf had a great idea. "Let's put up a big screen so that people can come and watch the World Cup for free and enjoy a bit of atmosphere!" I heard the first Costa Rican goal from our garden and thought I'd go along at some point. What a great idea.
Unfortunately whoever had the great idea didn't count on the fact that it would act as a magnet for mindless thugs content only with causing discontent for others. 200 people were involved in a alcohol fuelled, bottle throwing mass brawl - read about it here.
So well done to everyone who managed to spoil it for everyone else - because the screen just sits there now waiting to be used for Wimbledon coverage.
