Police To Cancel Football In England?

How many times over the years have I commented about police cancelling football matches because they cannot guarantee security?

Well, now it has happened in England with a friendly at Wembley being called off because of the riots initially in London but spreading round the country.

I remember when the financial crisis spread through South East Asia back in the 1990s. We had western bankers and politicians on the TV screens sitting, looking smug, telling the Asians they had to clean up the way they do business.

I guess the view from their glass towers is looking distinctly smudgy now.
