It was the end of 80 years of British, well English football history today, as the twin white towers of Wembley were bulldozed. Not Wimbleton mind you, but Wembley Stadium, not only remown actually for it's football moments, but for some of the best rock concerts ever produced. One recalls the Stones, The Dead, the Who, and a host of others who brought their talents to that place...
We're told they're keeping the tops of the towers, to put on a museaum in the new stadium.. and many of us will stand, while the crowd mills around us, and recall different times, while Euro 2012 gets underway..
Now this story means little in the whole scheme of things, but attend, for it shows an attitude.. One of the most prolific burglars in this country has been packed off to jail again.. Martin Maloney stole some £180thousand from pensioners over the past 18 months or so, while posing as a copper. Martin entered a guilty plea to two counts of burglary in Harrow Crown Court this afternoon, and asked for another 587 cases to be taken into consideration.
Considered they were. Martin's now serving a 7 year sentence.
We are amazed.
