Take back our country

Today is a good day to be British.
The government, all parties need to build upon what has occurred over these last 2 weeks. There are now over 60 medal winners including the 29 gold medals. We have seen how real sportsmen and women should behave, what hard work can achieve.This in stark contrast to the often shameful behaviour of the ever disappointing millionaire footballers(of all home nations). It is time to stop supporting and putting those footballers on a pedestal. We now have a list of real role models for our youth. The government not only needs to continue sport's funding, at its present levels, but sport in primary and secondary schools needs to be ramped up.Sport must be an integral part of education, the results can only be positive,there is no downside. Throughout the UK we hear cries of lost youth and lost generations,sport can be a major tool for change. Young people who participate in sport are much less likely to stand on the streets getting into trouble. My children play football, and also go to Karate twice a week, where they learn discipline and hard work. The number of female medal winners must also be used for positive change, girls need role models too, not just anorexic,talentless slappers from reality tv. More female sport needs to be televised and promoted. The BBC in particular being public owned, but also the other stations need to move away from reality tv, it's time to say enough of this Shit, it is poisoning our society. It is not just the government's responsibility to change our society, parents, teachers, and the media must all see what is in front of their noses. Sport is a positive thing,let's use it to take back our streets, to take back our youth, and let's focus less on the not so beautiful game.
