On the same night Wales are playing against the mighty Holland in another friendly. Yet there isn’t a single word in the paper on that match.

Let’s compare the two matches:

England are playing against a minor team in world football in a match that doesn’t matter. They will probably field half a team, and the result will not matter unless T&T actually beat them.

On the other hand Wales are playing against a team that qualified for Euro 2008. Wales will play one of their youngest teams in their history against these giants of world football. Yet again the result won’t matter, unless Wales win!

If anything there is a bit more significance to the Welsh match!

How then does England get so much coverage in the media whilst Wales getts nothing? Aren’t we both meant to be equal members of the UK? English bias?

I know back in his era Atheism was regarded as a new form of lifestyle and thus harshly reacted towards by religious communities, in fact the most rude words I’ve ever heard any Christian say were said about Shelley and his brilliant poetical works when he died. For those who know Shelley, do you think he may have inspired Atheism to become a more public lifestyle rather than having it remain a private secret.

As an Atheist myself, I tend to swing my pendulum a little towards yes.
