‘The British Olympic effort in Athens cost the taxpayer £190 million and garnered a total of 30 medals. And we’re supposed to be impressed? That’s almost £6 million per medal. In the trophy shop down the road, you can get a little cup with a snooker player on top for £2.99! The money wasted on Athens would have bought one of these lovely trophies for every man woman and child in Britain. Surely that would have been a better use of the money, and we would all have been winners – except for Paula Radcliffe’
And another beauty based on the public outrage at the Lottery win of £7 million, by serial rapist, Lorworth Hoar.
"I was disgusted to hear that a rapist was allowed to win £7 million on the National Lottery. By committing the most vile of crimes, a man should forfeit the right to win the jackpot. In fact he shouldn’t even be allowed to get five numbers and the bonus ball. Convicted rapists should be limited to matching three numbers, winning a maximum of £10.
M Hudson. London."
And this gem:
"What I don’t understand is, if God can part the Red Sea and make it rain biscuits on the Jews or whatever, why can’t He jiggle a few ping pong balls in order to prevent a serial rapist winning the lottery? I can’t see why he doesn’t fix it for deserving people like Mother Theresa, or Terry Waite to scoop the jackpot every week. It has certainly shaken my faith in Him.
Rev J Foucault. Truro"
